Expulsion of Tennessee Democrats Sparks Global Response and Amplified Rage in American Politics
TL;DR Summary
Momentum is building to reappoint two young Black lawmakers, Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson, who were expelled from the Tennessee legislature by their Republican colleagues for interrupting debate last week by using a bullhorn to lead a gun control protest in the chamber in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Nashville. The expulsions have sparked outrage and galvanized national support within their party, and the two young Black lawmakers are poised to return to the state legislature — as soon as next week — with a platform and profile far surpassing what they had just days ago.
