Tennessee’s Fascist GOP Moves to Expel Democrats Over Phony “Insurrection” Claim
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-04-05

Three elected Democrats in Tennessee are facing expulsion after they stood in solidarity with gun control advocates who marched to the state capitol last week. Because they spoke out in favor of gun control while protesters disrupted a legislative session, Republicans say that's tantamount to an "insurrection" and have stripped them of committee assignments and will likely expel them.
