Rep. Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, raises his fists on the floor of the House chamber to recognize his supporters before the start of the legislative session Thursday, April 6, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn. Tennessee Republicans are seeking to oust Pearson, and two other House Democrats for using a bullhorn to shout support for pro-gun control protesters in the House chamber. Rep.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Thousands flocked to the Tennessee Capitol on Thursday to support the three Democratic lawmakers facing possible expulsion for their role in a gun control demonstration, cheering and chanting outside the House chamber so loud that it drowned out proceedings.
Naw, it fits the Democrats very definition of an insurrection. Too bad huh?
I stand with Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. We have an obligation to uphold democracy.
Since the murders of the Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, White Democrats have assumed the mantle of Black Leadership: an unprecedented instance in any Democracy where the Majority Race with history of Slave Ownership now has ruled Black People for more than 50 years. Even…
Just consider his actions as “constitutional insurrection”.
Wait wait wait... Is it, or is it NOT, okay to storm The Capitol Building?
They incited violence got thrown out. Case closed
Sadly, since he is so young, I’m probably going to have to listen to his activist baloney for the rest of my life (just like AOC). So self righteous. So self important. Talk about a savior complex (all the while playing the victim).
Jonny Garrett fights Gun violence with semantics, and Gino Bulso, never mentions that three nine-year-old babies died, if anything should be questioned are their motives.
72 vs 25 to expel pretty overwhelming..RULES in place for a reason just abide by them. Create havoc, then use it for political gain and the inevitable race card, typical. WTF-up folks you’re being played..‼️
This is a performance.

AnitaBlanchard That was no protest that was the worst attack on our democracy since the democrats did it the first time starting the civil war
2,000 emotion-packed words to say, 'yes.' And that's why his ass is out of there!
This a dam shame
AnitaBlanchard We are ready. Bring it on
ProphetElvisMbonye
When's he dropping a mixtape?
AnitaBlanchard
Too bad he’s not fighting for something other than disarming the populace. Seems like an authentic guy
Wow! The cadence of his speech is beautiful & mesmerising. Keep speaking, Justin!
It's a shame he didn't use a tamborine instead of a bullhorn....LOL
Can people break into Rep. Justin Jones home ..... to protest peacefully? .....
Imagine voting for this person. Crazy!
insurrectionist
He led an insurrection during a live session of Congress that sympathetic media label a protest because they agree in taking guns from law abiding citizens in the name of tragedy. What a farse!
When will there be, or is it even possible to have, consequences of them voting to illegally remove these people for doing something specifically protected in the construction? Removing representatives over protected acts needs to be condoned at the highest level.
Thank you sir, now don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Hero
Thank you for picking up his speech!
Scum bags
He’s fkn awesome!
He sounds like the reverend Carl Pathos
Making travel plans is getting easier- No TN for me.
if your only tool is rascism, then every act of douchebaggery you commit becomes a racist act
*Former rep jones*
How many millions of Tennesseans no longer have representation for their districts? This is unconstitutional and illegal.
Actions have consequences. He’s finding that out.
BradleyWhitford gop just told the people of Tennessee your vote doesn’t count by expelling your representatives they are a power hungry desperate party - voters will see you in 2024
BradleyWhitford Justin Jones will be elevated to rockstar.
BradleyWhitford Republican republicans are Anti American
When you immediately point to race, you automatically admit you have no argument.

The Tennesse Reichstag is afraid of dissenting opinions. Throwing people out is what they do when they have no logical response.
Wait a minute. These three are as elected as the others. If you could expel another elected party member, then surely to god that is unconstitutional. Not that the GOP gives a rat's patooty about the constitution anyway. Such traitors.
The GOP is a side I cannot understand
Happening soon! The vote to expel the TennesseeThree. Watch live on TN Capitol TV here: If they cut the feed, follow theTNHoller & NashvilleResist on Twitter. America, please stay aware of the dangerous situation in TN today. 🙏🏽
Remember folks, we’ve been told for 2 years that there’s no place for an insurrection, and that was worse than Pearl Harbor.
Hopefully they get expelled.

Nothing libs hate more than being treated how they treat others.
SeditiousGOP corrupt and bullying
FASCISTS HELLPUBLICANS TRIES TO SILENT OPPOSITION
TN GOP House are a bunch of fascists.
Then start telling black people to stop killing others. Pretty simple. There is no epidemic outside of that.
Insurrectionists
Insurrectionist Democrats.
At what point do Democrats across the spectrum from progressive, centrist, or conservative realize Republicans are waging a full scale thermonuclear political war on them and responds in kind?
Republicans on the wrong side of this. The extremists that keep republicans scared are a small percentage. Most Americans are foe common sense gun laws. Keep up the protests and they need to grow and sustain until 2024!
Good.
The House has rules that the show boaters broke. Everyone is subject to the same rules, yet Democrats always squeal when it is applied to the, Thanks to State propaganda media outlet AP for incorrectly framing this story as a free speech issue.
so much for democracy I guess 😐
Where are the mature open minded adult leaders Have they left the planet Cause all that remain on Earth it appears are squabbling children.
Sorry for stealing the Demo-rats playbook! Not!!!
When a R does it you call it an insurrection. When a D does it you call it a demonstration. Interesting
Once again, the GOP proves to be an an authoritarian, anti-democracy party. Those 3 Reps were elected by the people of TN, and the GOP is looking to override the will of the people. The GOP hates when the American people have their say! GOPBetrayedAmerica
Free speech in America, is free speech. None should be punished for exercising his freedom of speech.
Tennessee GOP Legislators are pro-child sacrifice
Example 120,493,304 of how Republicans are pure fascist trash
These Republicans (Trump/Maga types) hide behind Child-Killings at schools, to simply say with the NRA, etc.,: 'WE NEED MORE AVAILABILITY OF MORE GUNS WITH ELEPHANT-KILLING BULLET POWER!'
The insurrectionist?!
Boo!
disenfranchising their voters
The new rules are so unfair say the people who made them
Wait. While protesting, did they commit any crimes?
Proving once again that the GOP is 100% owned by the gun manufacturers
Because they behaved like petulant children
Dirty politics...
how does this not violate the first amendment?
Thought dems said taking over capitols to stopping legislative duties was bad
You misspelled insurrection.
Misspelled insurrection
The murderous GOP like to see dead kids as the price of their gun fetish.
There were two Church shootings in Texas. One resulted in 26 people killed. The other resulted in 2 killed, and one dead gunman. Guess which one this pic is from?
