Tennessee Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that she hears racist statements “all the time” in the Tennessee State House.
Johnson said racism was the reason her two black colleagues, Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled, and she was spared.
Co-host Don Lemon said, “You’ve been very in front after the vote last week that you felt race played a role in Jones and Pearson’s removal. But there are some of your Republican colleagues were saying in their estimation that it wasn’t race. That you argued, your attorney argued to the contrary that you never shouted or pounding the podium or displayed a sign containing a political statement last week and also that you chose not to participate in a letter that their attorneys had submitted that you, your attorney didn’t take part in that letter that you submitted your own. Do you still believe that it was race?”

Maybe anti-white statements but otherwise I doubt it.
He no doubt hears lies all the time. Many from himself.
It is racist to hold blacks accountable. For anything.
Bitterness of being defeated!!
I have racists in my closet and under my bed. Boo!
“‘I think we should bring back hanging by a tree.’ He literally suggested lynching.”
A legal hanging is NOT lynching. And the only racism she hears are from fellow DemocRats.
Most likely because the voices are in his head.
Words mean things, dummy.
Most likely from her black colleagues.
Does he play his own statements on repeat?
Don’t know if this is true, but generally speaking, thuggish behavior begets frowned-upon speech.
If Lemon had hit on Justin after the interview and been rebuffed, would that have been due to racism?
Johnson said racism was the reason her two black colleagues, Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled, and she was spared.

I’m gonna call bull crap on this one...
“racist statement” = disagreeing with a liberal minority.....
“I hear racist statements all the time.” Paranoia will destroy ya.
She sure does. She hears them nearly every time Justin Jones or Justin Pearson open their mouths.
Hang out in the black areas of Memphis, Knoxville, or Nashville and one will hear plenty of racist statements directed at whites.
