Tennessee House GOP expels 2 Democratic lawmakers
"Tennessee House Republicans voted Thursday to expel two Democratic representatives who led protest chants on the House floor following the mass shooting at The Covenant School.
Reps. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) join a small group of Tennessee lawmakers who were pushed out of elected office by their colleagues.
An attempt to expel Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville) failed by one vote.
Why it matters: Expulsions are an exceedingly rare and extraordinary measure in the Tennessee General Assembly. The Republican-led effort to remove the Democrats has attracted national attention and condemnation from the White House and the ACLU."
