He thought there would be no consequences for his actions.

Well, he's now been stripped of any legislative power, has been reverted to a citizen of the state and will have to run again to regain it.

[basalt]

Now this is how you stop that non sense..BRAVO!!!!

[jeffersondem]

I saw what he did; it was an insurrection.

Both sides can play that little game.

[NWFree]

All crazed libtards should be expelled.

[abbastanza]

What about the other two?

[NWFree]

Lock him up for a couple of years without trial just to reach him a lesson

[Wpin]

About time some damned democrat had consequences for their crimes! I love Tennessee!

[maddog55]

Two more scum sucking liberal POS to go.

There are so many definitions of “insurrection” these days, isn’t there?

Expelled Representative Justin Jones, D-Nashville, filed a police report after he was allegedly assaulted and pushed on the House floor by a fellow representative. Jones’ phone was also reportedly taken for a brief time before it was returned.

Up next:

And this dude:

It’s time that Republicans started playing rough against these anarchists for a change. They need to get even tougher.

[peggybac]

Agree! I was afraid nothing would happen after it was said they’d be voted out. It’s time for us to give it right back!

[Pox]

It’s about time that the notion of no repercussions for your actions was squashed.

Now let’s see who’s next that will toss out the trash.

[CraigEsq]

I am concerned that this will backfire. I know a couple of people from TN and they are NOT happy about this occurrence. It’s being played as Republicans are throwing out Democrats who stand with kids.

Would a censure and stripping of committees or something have been less of a lightning rod?

[cotton1706]

“And this dude:”

LOL

[Savage Rider]

So what happens when a representative in Tennessee is expelled? Is he still a rep without committee assignments? Is his seat open?

[who knows what evil?]

She’s toast.

[comps4spice]

They literally lead an insurrection at the TN legislature. They deserved exactly what they received.

[cotton1706]

They were already stripped of committees.

Was he the one with the megaphone on the House floor who was using it to encourage more demonstrations in the gallery? Well deserved if it was him.
