In a typical bit of Republican shamelessness, House Speaker Cameron Sexton likened their actions to “an insurrection.” (Just to be clear: The group’s protest did not cause lawmakers to flee the scene in fear of their lives, involve chants calling for anyone to be hanged, or result in the deaths of five people, like a certain Washington, DC, riot did in 2021.)

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives in Tennessee voted Thursday to expel Black Democrats Justin Jones and Justin Pearson for participating in a protest against gun violence last week, following a school shooting in Nashville that left three children and three adults dead. Republicans are also targeted White Democratic representative, Gloria Johnson , with expulsion, but failed.
