Republicans in the House filed the resolutions Monday to oust Jones, Johnson and Pearson, saying the three lawmakers “did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor” to the House.
“We must never become desensitized to the voices of people crying out for change,” Pearson wrote at the end of the letter, which he posted online Tuesday. “We must never accept senseless deaths to continue on our watch and do nothing.”Phillis Sheppard stood in line for an hour in the rain, hoping to get into the capitol rotunda to witness the expulsion vote. Across the street from the line, live musicians performed and volunteers passed out snacks and bottles of water to protesters.
The Tennessee General Assembly — where Republicans hold the supermajority in both chambers — has faced pressure to enact gun legislation since the March 27 shooting butShould the lawmakers be expelled, county and city-level officials would select delegates to serve in the three vacant House seats until the next regularly scheduled election in August 2024, said Carrie Russell, a political science senior lecturer at Nashville’s Vanderbilt University.
Aren’t there fines for breaking rules not expelled on trivial grounds very extreme
WAPO is treating these protesters much different than the Jan 6 protesters.
Deranged Trans Democrat shooters must be stopped. How many more Trans people will conduct these heinous act? Another one just stopped in CO.
Despicable! What is happening to the “Republicans”!? Expelling legal protesting legislatures! You’ll be removed by the people within 50% of the ballot counting during your next elections!
J6 these 3 persons

Totally not a cult And we definitely shouldn't call them fascists Because, God knows, we don't want to make the Cons angry. Who knows what they'll do. 🙄
Just heard the Tennessee expelling news from local TV. Unbelievable. Is this real? Really?
Expel them with extreme prejudice!
What a political party! They are scared of spoken words, books, different genders, ideas, democrats, anyone with a different skin tone.... Everything but weapons that maim and kill our youth.
This will certainly make the party more popular. Who needs to win elections? 🤣
I say expell Tennessee GOP CORRUPT AND BULLYING
Send in the feds.
It’s called insurrection
How is this legal? Oh wait . . .
Tennessee looking more like a Fascist State every day, in every way................
Because of political correctness you won't say that so called White people are the problem, they create the guns, they sell & trade the guns, they made guns necessity for safety, and them more than anyone justifies guns globally just as they did with Alcohol in 1919
All the shooters had mental health problems? Wonder what anti depressants they were on.
Democrats love the use of the hecklers veto
I hope there aren’t any bears in Tennessee because they can smell fear, and the Republicans there reek of it.
