While the so-called “Tennessee Three” have mostly fallen out of the news since being reinstated by their respective city councils (while still being barred from all committees), one member of the trio is still doing all he can to make headlines.
Justin Jones, perhaps the most visible member ejected from the state legislature in early April after leading an insurrection inside the Tennessee capitol building, wasn’t content with getting backslaps on Good Morning America and being lauded as a hero for inciting a mob. That mean it was time to execute his most ghoulish stunt yet.
On Tuesday, Jones tried to walk onto the legislative floor he shut down weeks prior with a bullhorn while carrying a child’s coffin.
The legislature’s Sergeant at Arms stops Jones, noting that they can’t enter the floor with the coffin. Someone who I assume is a priest or pastor then challenges the Sergeant at Arms, asking if there’s a rule or constitutional provision to bar them from doing so. The response is that the rules say no props, which sounds reasonable and likely, though I haven’t gone and found the exact provision to verify that.
Jones continues to argue because he’s a shameless, attention-seeking clown who is using dead Christian children as pawns in a ridiculous partisan game. At no point has it been reported that the “Tennessee Three” reached out to the families who lost loved ones in the Nashville shooting. I’ve also seen no indication that they have offered to raise money for them or pushed the White House to make them more visible.
Instead, Jones, like the rest of the broader left, essentially pretended the shooting itself didn’t happen, at least as far as acknowledging who the victims were. In the immediate aftermath, they started making the supposed oppression of the “trans community” the story while ignoring that it was a militant trans activist who committed the shooting and wrote an entire manifesto detailing why (that the authorities still won’t release because they almost never do when it’s a leftist). Even the White House has yet to note the anti-Christian bigotry that motivated the murders and has scoffed at labeling it a hate crime.
To put it succinctly, Jones can go jump in a lake with his insensitive, performative nonsense. The problem in Nashville wasn’t the fact that guns exist and will always exist. It was that the far left keeps telling mentally deranged trans-identifying individuals that they are being genocided because people won’t affirm their delusions. Jones is far more responsible for the shooting than any lack of gun laws.
That he’s trying to make himself famous by cosplaying as a 60s-era civil rights hero in the middle of families mourning the deaths of their children is grotesque. It crosses from the realm of political disagreement into the realm of abject evil. That the mainstream press has not only gone along with his game but has actively assisted in it only exacerbates the situation. Those families deserve better than this. Unfortunately, Democrats aren’t willing to show them an ounce of respect.
I think it’s the Tennessee Three and Three quarters when you figure in the fat lady.
The west memphis three versus the nashville three. Into the octagon. Fight! ding
‘Political theater’... all emotion and NO substance
True to his Black Lives Matter experience, he is sending me fundraising facebook posts daily, raising money on dead children’s bodies. He is despicable.
The sad thing is that he either doesn’t realize what a clown he’s making of himself or he does not care, which is even worse....................
As Rush said, it’s all about the optics...................
Just another fool that thinks he is smarter than the Founders of this Country. Too stupid to look for and address the real causes of CRIME, but content to make a fool of himself over it in public...
Why can’t other blacks see these clowns for what they are, grinning, glad-handing, con men and women out to make money for themselves while screwing them over?..........
See Al Sharpton, Stacy Abrams, Andrew Gillum, et al...................
Right...because if you have the IQ of a 3rd grader, only optics can make any sense to you. There’s no thinking or reasoning involved...😏
“The response is that the rules say no props, which sounds reasonable and likely, though I haven’t gone and found the exact provision to verify that.”
Clearly, the so-called “Tennessee Three” and the Sergeant at Arms know how the read the rules.
Trickle down economics? The peripheral blacks know there will be some scraps to scoop up from the shake down. (Still waiting for the big bucks from Black Lives Matter bank, however)
I was thinking the same thing. This is his “eye on the prize” moment where he can get donations and become the next Jesse Jackson or Sharpton, who have done little for the African American community except make money off them.
*The west memphis three versus the nashville three.* I thought they were Johnny Cash’s backup band at first.
Styrofoam/fiberglass coffin-light.
The guy’s young, smart/photogenic. He won’t be down the road so he’s cashing in now. Kapernick couldn’t play. Blacks are easily led.
h/t to a FReeper whose name escapes me

I don’t know. Probably the same reason that white democraps are unable to see the DNC and its followers for what they truly are, and why various republicans are unable to see the RNC for the Rhinos that they truly are. People whose hearts are unopen to God and the things of God are unable to see the Cross for what it truly is too. And this is all maybe the reason that throughout time God has found it necessary to divide the “wheat from the chaff”?
Politics and ideology aside, I think it’s more of a ‘Messiah’ complex.
I remember when Obama was first elected, the MSM interviewed some young black woman getting gas at a convenience store, and they asked her what Obama’s election meant to her.
She replied that it meant not having to worry about paying her bills or rent anymore or some such claptrap.
They see the black candidate as the one who will solve all their problems an save them from their despondency with no effort on their part. It does not matter to them if he/she/it is a crook or a conman. They will get their ‘share’, but they never do. Maybe the next one will......or the next one.....or the next one..................
The Democrat with the best island wins.
Good point. Maybe they need someone to teach them that the “dream” they have of a black messiah never has happened and they need to start looking elsewhere. Oh wait, they are looking elsewhere...to lawlessness.
