Tennessee's Expelled Lawmakers and the GOP Brand.
TL;DR Summary
A Republican National Committee member from Tennessee said that the expulsion of two Democratic lawmakers over their gun reform protests "didn't help" the GOP's brand and has "energized young voters against us." The GOP-led Tennessee House of Representatives removed state Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from their positions, which has sparked a story about race and the state of modern politics in the South. The situation could expose the GOP to a united front in politically-competitive areas throughout Tennessee.
