🚨 Breaking news from Tennessee 🚨
Tennessee GOP expels 2 Democratic lawmakers for anti-gun violence protests — NBC News
In the wake of the horrific act of gun violence in Nashville, the Tennessee Three — state Representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin Pearson — spoke out.
They bravely joined gun safety advocates to protest on the state House floor last week to demand action on gun safety. And yesterday, the majority-white Republican House Caucus voted to expel Rep. Jones and Rep. Pearson — the two Black members of the Tennessee Three. It’s shameful and undemocratic.
Now, Tennessee Democrats are preparing for a critical special election cycle in 2023, when we have the opportunity to re-elect Rep. Jones and Rep. Pearson to once again represent their districts so they can continue speaking out on behalf of the safety and wellbeing of their communities.
