TN GOP May Expel Those Who Stood With Gun Protestors
When the Tennessee students held their anti-gun violence protests at the state Capitol, some of their Democratic representatives stood with them. Now the Republicans are trying to go full fascist on them, as State Justin Jones explains. The other two law makers being targeted are State Representatives Justin J. Pearson and Gloria Johnson.
In retaliation for their opposition, Speaker Cameron Sexton tried to silence these Democrats by stripping them of committee assignments, not letting them speak and not letting them vote:
WATCH: “This is not a democracy. It’s a very sad day for Tennessee.” @RepRagan refuses to recognize @VoteGloriaJ & @brotherjones_ after Speaker @CSexton25 removed them from committees for their role in the peaceful protest last week.
