BREAKING: Tennessee GOP leaders try to EXPEL 3 members of legislature who stood with student demonstrators at the state capitol today asking for gun safety regulations.
Expulsion up for vote, and their member IDs have already been shut off.
Absolutely unconstitutional.
From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.
They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”
Media forced out at as well.
Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone.
This is a sad day for Tennessee.
We need to stop calling it a “Tiktok Ban” the Restrict Act would apply to any and every web based platform and product.
Why aren’t tech folks talking about this?
