The media has often reported that Tennessee Democrats were removed from the legislature for “protesting gun violence” but in fact what they did was shut down a House session:
Sexton spoke with NewsNation Friday evening, followed by an interview with WATE. According to Sexton, the three chose themselves when they lead a protest on the House floor, which has not happened before in Tennessee.
“They made the choice to lead a protest from the House floor, which has never happened in the history of the state of Tennessee. They explained disruptive behavior to the extent to where we had to shut down the session where we’re having bills to have passed legislation to such disregard for 45 minutes and they led the protest to the people in the balcony to disrupt the proceedings of the House while we were in session,” Sexton said. “I thought it rised to the level of expulsion and all three members we didn’t pick the members they chose themselves, who were going to come up there. And so we put them all three up for a vote for expulsion.”
If they were Republicans the Democrats and media would be calling it an “insurrection,” but instead Rep. Gloria Johnson (one of the Dems who was not removed) was on “Good Morning, America” with two Dems who were removed and seemed to be enjoying it:
So this is a thing. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to talk about the gun violence problem on a national stage. We must act now. These young people (and their parents) want us to act now to save lives! pic.twitter.com/715WVXYv87

Also have you noticed the media is talking more about the “Tennessee three” than the “Nashville six” and the person who shot them?

It’s all for show, and that’s the same for DC Democrats saying “we MUST act” when they’re just coming off two full years of congressional and WH control. Why didn’t they “act” then?
Getting kicked out of the Tennessee legislature for breaking clearly articulated rules was the best thing to happen to these dolts. Leftist media has made them stars…https://t.co/GABEi1QrBI

You seem overjoyed. This shooting was quite a boon for you, wasn't it?
And why aren't you resigning from the General Assembly in solidarity?

Nothing better encapsulates what the “stop gun violence” crowd on the Left is all about.
