Tennessee GOP Expels Two Democrats Following State Capitol Storming | The Daily Wire
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In a historic vote, Tennessee Republicans expelled two state House Democrats on Thursday over their actions during last week’s storming of the state capitol building by gun control activists, where Democrats led chants with a bullhorn and disrupted the floor session.
Nashville Democrat Rep. Justin Jones was expelled from the House in a vote of 72-25 and Memphis Democrat Justin Pearson was expelled in a vote of 69-26. Jones claimed that Republicans were leading an “assault” on democracy during his debate on his expulsion and claimed the world was “watching.” During debate, Jones admitted to sneaking a bullhorn into the chamber under his coat, after which he led chants with people sitting in the balcony.
“It’s never been that three state representatives attempted to incite a riot in the middle of the House floor. It’s dangerous, it’s inappropriate, and it silences the other 96 members,” he said.
Sexton said that the lawmakers wanted to be arrested and wanted the attention for themselves, adding that the disruption was “planned.”
