So they expel the two blacks and not the white.
Oh, that’s good optics. /s
The Stupid Party Strikes Again!
I had no idea they could even be expelled. WOW Tennesse lawmakers have balls
Seriously - can someone explain what happened here. It turns a great law and order move to shooting yourself in the foot.

And when this bites them in the ass and companies start bringing pressure, they’ll start screaming about wokism.
Republicans seem to be the kings of unforced errors.
Yep.
Stupid
She avoided expulsion by one vote. It wasn’t because she was white.

Yes. Should have expelled all three or none of them.

Stupid party leaders likely thought they had the votes on all three and then a couple reps chickened out at the end. This is all resume enhancer for Democrats, anyway. The young guy will probably run for Congress now and win.
Maybe the exclusion of the white woman was done with malice....with forethought, in order to achieve the unrest this will undoubtedly cause.......maybe.
Well, she was a woman, so...
Amazing the lies they spin.

These two that got expelled called the legislature racists during the questioning before the vote. The White lady missed being expelled by one vote.
They say they had blowhorns in the gallery which is a lie. i saw the video of them standing at the podium on the floor with the blowhorn.
They planned this for a week and even told the supporters on twitter to go shut this place down until we get what we want.
Many more lies in this but can’t say i’m surprised. Imagine if anyone in congress had done this during the JAN 6 proceedings. Crazy libs.

Forget the optics, double down, and fight back. Leading protesters into the chamber with a bullhorn is a reasonable ground for removal. If Republicans are always retreating due to optics, they’re going to lose the war.
Part of it could have been because she’s “a veteran lawmaker”. But yes, stupid, even she is quoted as saying when asked, “maybe it’s the color of my skin”. thereby strengthening the argument for the possible “racism” of the other side. I didn’t see any lengthy start to finish,but it looked like the two (or three) were doing exactly what woke college “students” have been doing for years when someone like Ann Coulter, David Horowitz or Ben Shapiro shows up to speak, after being formally invited.
