"NASHVILLE — The Republican-led Tennessee House voted Thursday to expel a Democratic lawmaker who halted proceedings last week to join protesters demanding gun control. Lawmakers are set to consider the expulsions of two additional lawmakers in a historic act of retaliation.
The chamber voted 72-25 to expel Rep. Justin Jones (D). During the more than two hours of debate, Republican members questioned Jones, who sported a white suit, as his fellow Democratic lawmakers asked for “grace” and urged the chamber not to use the “nuclear option.”
“My prayer to you is that even if you expel me that you still act to address the crisis of mass shootings, because if I’m expelled from here, I’ll be back out there with the people every week demanding that you act,” Jones said before the vote. “If you expel me, I’ll continue to show up. Because this issue is too important.”"
