Tennessee GOP targets Democratic lawmakers over gun control protest.
TL;DR
Tennessee Republican lawmakers have filed resolutions to expel three Democratic members from the GOP-dominant House for their role in a recent gun control protest at the state Capitol. Resolutions have been filed against Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson after they led chants from the House floor with supporters in the gallery last Thursday. The move has further fractured an already deep political division inside the Tennessee Legislature.
