Expelled Tennessee lawmaker Justin Pearson reinstated to House position

Justin Pearson, a Tennessee lawmaker who was expelled from the state legislature after leading a gun control protest on the chamber floor, has been reinstated by a unanimous vote from seven members of the Shelby County Board of Commissioners. Pearson and his colleague Justin Jones were expelled last week by the Republican-run statehouse. Both lawmakers will serve as interim representatives until special elections occur in the coming months. Pearson addressed the crowd, saying: "You can't expel hope. You can't expel justice. You can't expel our voice. And you sure can't expel our fight. We look forward to continuing to fight."
