Tennessee lawmakers lose committee assignments after storming state Capitol

Three Tennessee state lawmakers, all Democrats, were pulled from their committee assignments and could face expulsion from the legislature after they participated in storming the state Capitol during a protest against guns following last week's school shooting.

Tennessee House Republicans voted Monday to strip committee assignments from state Reps. Justin Jones, Justin J. Pearson and Gloria Johnson, according to WPLN.

A potential expulsion for the three lawmakers could come later this week.

The lawmakers joined anti-gun protestors in storming the Capitol last week after a 28-year-old transgender person opened fire inside the Covenant School in Nashville, which killed six people, including three children.

Are some on the right starting to learn we have to fight back and use the left's rules against them?

These insurrectionists need to be jailed without trial.

Again, stripping lawmakers of committee assignments was something the DEMOCRAT PARTY started when people like MJT engaged in speech that conflicted with the ruling party’s orthodoxy.

Did any of these Democrat party reps in Tennessee care when it happened to someone else? Nope.

These people care nothing about those murdered Christians. They callously use them to try to grab guns.

This country needs a divorce from the left, the marriage is over.

So where are transcripts of Hale’s journals? Folks, there’s no single “manifesto,” by the way. She kept a number of journals instead, and they were found at various locations.

This is great. TPTB in red states need to begin playing hardball as the left has done for decades. I hope it sticks.

In the same vein, if it’s OK for NY to indict / prosecute PDJT for non-crimes on issues beyond the Statute of Limitations, invent felonies, and connect them to Federal (alleged) crimes, I’m waiting for Sarah Huckabee to sic her AG on to the Clintons.

Surely there must be 100 crimes to dig up. So many of those on The Clinton Body Count list occurred in AR, and there’s no Statute of Limitations on murder.

After what’s going to happen today in NY, if she doesn’t arrest Bubba and PIAPS before May she’ll already have failed as Governor.

I’m going to contact her and send her my 30-page Clinton Body Count list.

I want to know why our State AG hasn’t started arresting the protesters who
stormed our Capital In Tennessee.

Probably because they are waiting for us to react violently so they can make conservatives the bad guys.
They can burn it down.
I’m staying put until the flag drops.

“These insurrectionists need to be jailed without trial.”

Best idea I have seen in days. Fight fire with superior fire.

Were they standing in a well or in well standing?
My eighth grader could write a better more informative article.
Did they really “storm” the capital?
They should all be in jail according to precedence.

Florida needs to do the same thing to democrat state minority leader Lauren Book.

https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-opponents-arrested-florida-protesting-abortion-ban-1792354

“Nikki Fried, chair of the Florida Democrats, and Democrat state Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book were among 11 people arrested on Monday night during protests after Governor Ron DeSantis’ new abortion legislation was passed by the state Senate.
