Tennessee Republicans seek to expel Democrats over gun control protest and Capitol storming.

Tennessee House Republicans have filed resolutions to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the GOP-dominant House for their participation in a recent gun control protest at the state Capitol. The move has further deepened the political division inside the Tennessee Legislature. The 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. Expelling lawmakers is an extraordinary action inside the Tennessee Capitol, and just two other House members have ever been ousted from the chamber since the Civil War.
