NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — He may have been expelled Thursday evening, but Justin Jones is back in the Tennessee House of Representatives.
The ousted legislator was reappointed to his former seat in the 52nd District in Nashville by the Metro Council Monday afternoon, two business days after he was officially expelled from the House for breaking decorum rules on the House floor March 30.
Jones faced expulsion along with fellow Democrats Gloria Johnson of Knoxville and Justin Pearson of Memphis. Johnson survived the expulsion vote by one, but Pearson was ousted as well Thursday. The move was met with national criticism of Republican leaders in the state house, including House Speaker Cameron Sexton.
Shortly after the expulsion, Metro leaders were quick to announce their support for Jones and intentions to send him back to House. Vice Mayor Jim Shulman quickly announced a special called meeting to announce the vacancy, as required by law.

It was an armed violent insurrection according to the Democrats. It’s their description of it according to Jan 6 rules.

“In Washington D.C. they put people in jail for acting ugly inside a government building.”
True, but it all depends on who the people are. An unarmed woman was shot and killed inside a government building and the shooter received a vacation and a medal.

"If the two gentlemen straighten up and behave in public, it will be a good lesson for all."That must be some powerful stuff you're smoking. These are not "gentlemen", and they will not straighten up and behave in public.

The legislature doesn’t have to accept him. He doesn’t have to cause further trouble.

Come on Jones. You want Gun Control so bad? Go to people's Houses in TN and tell them to give up their gun rights. No? You want others to do it you little p-—y. Then shut your coward Marxist mouth.

>>So in the end this was just for show. Typical Republicans.<<
The vote to have Jones put back was by the Tennessee Metro Council which somehow trumps the House in an issue of this sort.

My understanding is the board can vote in an interim replacement until the special election
