Tennessee Republicans seek to expel Democrats over gun control protest.

Republican legislators in Tennessee are seeking to expel three Democratic colleagues from the conservative-controlled house over their support for a gun control protest at the state capitol days after a deadly school shooting in Nashville. The three have already been stripped of their committee assignments as more sanctions are expected. The trio is being accused of “knowingly and intentionally [bringing] disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions”. The rally followed the killings of six people at the Covenant school. Since the shooting, thousands have gathered at the Tennessee capitol calling for meaningful gun control measures.
