Not as a member of a legislative body with rules of decorum. This needs to happen more often.

He still has rights under the 1st amendment.

No, he doesn't.

If we don't have rights, then they don't have rights either.

Having worked unceasingly to destroy the rule of law, the Democrats will not be protected by the law.

Besides, taking up a bullhorn and inciting rioters to assault fellow legislators in session is not "freedom of speech". It is assault and insurrection.

All three of these people deserve arrest, prosecution, and jail sentences. Expulsion is getting off lightly.

Incredibly stupid of the Republicans to forgive the woman while expelling the men. Maybe they can vote again until they get it right and expel her too.

And if the Democrats want to startup race riots, that is just too dammed bad. Shoot the rioters. And arrest the folks who organize them.

Folks,

this was all staged, orchestrated, bought and paid for.

So the left will argue, not that Johnson should also be removed, but that the other two should be re-instated. I would like to see grass roots conservatives join in with any protests that the left may be planning. The message? “We agree with you. It’s unfair. All three of them need to go!”

People lose their jobs all the time for things they say

No one is telling them to shut up (however they did just jail a guy for a anti Hillary meme)

They’ll be back within the week, and probably given a formal apology.

It would be interesting to see who flipped their votes.
Are we witnessing sabotage from traitors within the party, perhaps?

FYI, the votes for removal were,

Rep. Jones : 72-24
Rep. Pearson : 69-26
Rep. Johnson : 65-30

66 votes were required for removal.

Tennessee state legislature votes to expel TWO Democrats a week.

Every state should do the same thing every week and by the end of the year, they should all be gone.

Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.

Very strange how they chose to use the word "officials" and not teachers or school staff/employees. I'm guessing that was polled/focused grouped.

That would be high probability on my assessment list.

An even higher probability on my list is that the Democrats have serious kompromat on two or three of the Republican legislators and threatened them with exposure if they refused to throw their votes. A reasonable assumption is that all legislators are dirty. It is only a matter of how dirty.

"An honest politician is one who stays bought".

Since the Republicans expelled two of the three offenders, I expect that the Democrats will get revenge by exposing the dirt they have on the guys who refused to throw their votes.

And race riots. Of course, the Democrats will organize race riots.

Film at the eleven o'clock news.

Is there full video of the offense(s)?

TN GOP is saying the Sgt. @ Arms tried to calm the situation, and that even as late as this morning the offenders were asked to simply apologize for the disruption and get back to business, but they (disruptors) doubled down. See vid, around 3:30 and following.

Bob is just living up to his name. Adds nothing of value to the discussion other than snark.

Good start but that third one, the horrible white woman, should also have been expelled.

Of course, the useful idiot voters will just elect two more communists anyway to replace them.

Oh well, sometimes you’ve got to make a move. Enough is enough on doing nothing.
