President Joe Biden invited the three expelled Democrats to the White House after being ousted from the state legislature for protesting against gun violence.
His invitation extended to the "Tennessee Three" along with a statement praising them for "seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values."
"Earlier today, I spoke to Reps. Jones, Pearson, and Johnson thank them for their leadership and courage in the face of a blatant disregard for our nation's democratic values. Our country needs to take action on gun violence — and to do that; we need more voices like theirs speaking out," Biden said in a social media caption with a video of the president speaking with Democrats Justin Pearson, Justin Jones, and Gloria Johnson.
The invite came the same day Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Nashville to meet with the ousted lawmakers who violated decorum rules. According to a White House pool report, the visit will occur in the future.
On Thursday, all three Democrats faced expulsion from their Republican colleagues for taking part in a protest calling for gun control after a March 27 school shooting in Nashville killed several children and employees.

Some insurrections are more equal than others.
Scum associate with scum.
” praising them for “seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values.””
By having them seize the podium at the head of a mob and stop a legislative process. Folks, this only ends one way. And it’s really gonna suck bad. But there it is.
lol - that’s some wall of words you built.
Way to go Tennessee Republicans, you just created two new martyrs - censure would have been sufficient, end of story. Instead it’s top of the “Look at the Cracker Racists” news cycle until 2024, morons.
Yes! Completely unintentional!
“Biden Invites Expelled Tennessee Democrats to the White House”
How about FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE???
Trump should invite Shaman to campaign with him, horns and all.
The republican whip checked to make sure everyone was on board with voting all three out.
One member, Jody Barrett, claims that since only the woman had counsel with her, he decided to vote against her expulsion.
Of course, this is probably hogwash, and he was actually conspiring with the Dems because they knew he was a squish.
His statement: Well, I’m an attorney, and Ms. Johnson was the only representative that showed up with legal counsel. And their legal counsel made an opening statement, pointing out deficiencies in the resolution that had been filed that we were voting on. And once those deficiencies were pointed out, in my view as an attorney, then it was incumbent upon the debate to present evidence to correct that and to establish clearly what it was that Ms. Johnson did to rise to the level of expulsion. I just don’t think that we established that during the debate.
On freerepublic, there are constant demands for Republicans to fight back.
Then, when Republicans fight back, they are called "morons".
WTAH? You want current ‘urinalists’ to actually do some menial thing like research and verifying info? 😂👍. Thanks for the input.
pedoPIGs feast together....
Gets worse and worse.
Leading a riot with bullhorns and trying to shout down and intimidate the majority is not exactly standing up for Democracy. Of course the Democrats live in an alternate universe.
Me too 😂
“THE TENNESSEE THREE” will soon have a National Day of Honor awarded to them, while January 6th protesters remain in prison.
WHEN WILL WE THE PEOPLE RISE UP INSTEAD OF GIVE UP?
History may not repeat itself but it rhymes.
Insurrectionists honoring other insurrectionists.
What a surprise.
The arresting the January 6ers was just adding injury to insult. And showing us what would happen to us when we stepped out of line.
Biden Kisses Black Ass.
The process is an existential necessity
