Tennessee state House Republicans on Thursday expelled Representative Justin Pearson on the third of three votes retaliating against he his two colleagues’ joining an anti-gun protest in the wake of the Nashville Covenant School shooting last week, Semafor’s Dave Weigel reports.
So yeah this is fucking racist since the two Black men got kicked out of the chamber but the white woman didn’t (albeit very narrowly). Would love to find out the names of the Republicans who voted yes on Pearson and Justin Jones but no on white Democrat state Representative Gloria Johnson.
