NOW: After SEVEN HOURS the TN State House in #Nashville voted to expel Rep. @brotherjones_.
The students outside the doors of the House floor are chanting in response: “F*CK YOU, FASCISTS.”
Our democracy is dismantling right before us.
Rep. @Justinjpearson: “You all heard that. How many of you would want to be spoken to that way?”
Pearson responds to Rep. Farmer’s belittling, disrespectful rant. #TennesseeThree
The #TennesseeThree peacefully protested GOP inaction on gun violence. They face expulsion.
4 GOP Tennessee House Reps spread the Big Lie that incited a violent insurrection, and voted to overturn the 2020 election. They still have jobs.
Republicans are dismantling democracy.
#Tennessee Representatives. Most of you are a special kind of human shit. 26 of you had the bravery to no expel 3 members of your body today. I hope all your families is proud of what you did today.
- Child molestation
- Domestic violence
- Corruption
Those are issues that DO NOT rise to the level of expulsion from Congress in Tennessee.
But protesting gun violence after a deadly mass shooting can get Reps Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson expelled.
I stand with the #TennesseeThree. ✊
If you think what's happening in #Tennessee is okay & think people like @Santos4Congress should stay in congress. You are part of the problem.
If you think #Dragqueens are more dangerous than rapist church officials. You are part of the problem.
