A white Tennessee lawmaker survived expulsion while 2 young Black lawmakers lost their seats for protesting gun violence. She says the result 'might have to do with the color of our skin.'
"A white lawmaker in Tennessee said racism may have had a part to play in her surviving a vote to expel her from the state House, while two young Black lawmakers lost their seats.
The three Democratic lawmakers had joined protesters demanding stricter gun regulations after the mass shooting at Nashville's Covenant School. Six people, including three 9-year-old children, were killed during the school shooting. All three lawmakers faced expulsion votes for breaking House rules by walking onto the floor and speaking without first being recognized.
But the motion to expel Rep. Gloria Johnson failed 65-30, falling short of the two-thirds majority required to remove her. Meanwhile, two Black lawmakers — Rep. Justin Pearson and Rep. Justin Jones — were expelled with 69-26 and 72-25 votes respectively."
