Tennessee House GOP expels 2 Democrats in retaliation over gun control protest, on ‘sad day for democracy’
Quote:
Two Democratic members of the Tennessee House of Representatives have been expelled while a third member was spared in an ousting by Republican lawmakers that was decried by the trio as oppressive, vindictive and racially motivated. Protesters packed the state Capitol on Thursday to denounce the expulsions of Reps. Justin Jones and Rep. Justin Pearson and to advocate for gun reform measures a little over a week after a mass shooting devastated a Nashville school.
Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon on “CNN This Morning,” Jones decried the actions of House Republicans. “What happened yesterday was a very sad day for democracy,” Jones said. “The nation was able to see we don’t have democracy in Tennessee.”
Jones confirmed if he is reappointed to the seat by the Nashville Metro Council, he would serve. “I have no regrets. I will continue to stand up for my constituents.”

Good ole Tennessee I feel sorry for anyone that lives there willingly.
