Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled by their colleagues from the Tennessee State Legislature for "disorderly behavior" after they joined protesters demonstrating against Tennessee state lawmakers who failed to respond to Nashville school shootings by enacting gun ownership restrictions. A white woman who joined them in speaking out was not expelled, leading Rep. Pearson to comment, "You cannot ignore the racial dynamic of what happened today."
