Ten days after a shooter unloaded 152 rounds at a Nashville school and killed six people, Tennessee House Republicans on Thursday expelled from the General Assembly two Democratic lawmakers for breaking House rules and mounting a gun-reform protest on the chamber's floor.

After hours of fiery debate, the House expelled Reps. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, on a 72-25 vote, and Rep. Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, 69-26, in a move that put the nation's eyes on Tennessee and its politics.

  1. America has gone to hell! People fighting for the very lives of our children are cast out while people who aided in the attempt to overthrow the government keep their status.

  2. Matthew 12:25: “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” 🤷‍♀️

  3. Tennessee – the state of pure evil. Two black man are standing for pro life and Tennessee legislators decided to get rid of them. Fully controlled by the gun lobbyists.
