Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are holding a series of votes Thursday on whether to expel Democratic legislators from the state House over their protests on the chamber floor against gun violence.

In the first vote, Republicans expelled Rep. Justin Jones -- the first time in state history that a House member has been removed for alleged chamber rules violations.

The second vote, to kick out Rep. Gloria Johnson, failed. Cheers erupted in the chamber with chants of "Gloria!" after the tally was announced.

The House voted 72-25 along party lines to expel Jones. The effort to remove Johnson fell short of the two-thirds majority needed. That vote was 65-30.

The next and final vote on Thursday will be for Rep. Justin Pearson.

The resolutions accused each of the Democratic lawmakers of engaging in “disorderly behavior” and purposely bringing “disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives” during protests against gun violence on the state House floor last week.

The votes drew attention to the partisan divisions that have rankled the Tennessee Legislature in recent months.

Chants from protesters — many of whom touted signs defending the “Tennessee three” — were audible throughout the entire legislative session Thursday. Organizers said hundreds were present.

Over the cacophony of protesters outside the state House, Republican legislators began expulsion proceedings Thursday afternoon against the three Democrats.

At the onset of the proceedings, state House Republicans moved to play a heavily edited video showing some of the events of last week’s protests — despite Democratic objections.

That led quickly to the votes to expel. In a process that closely resembles a trial, the Tennessee House allows each member to defend themselves with a 20-minute speech. House members then debate the resolution, and then each member is allowed to answer questions about the accusations against them from lawmakers.

“What is happening here today is a situation in which the jury has already publicly announced the verdict,” Jones said during a floor speech. “A lynch mob assembled to not lynch me, but our democratic process.”

Jones and Pearson are Black. Johnson is white.

Jones said his participation in the protests amounted to him “standing for those young people ... many of whom can’t even vote yet but all of whom are terrified by the continued trend of mass shootings plaguing our state and plaguing this nation.”

In an MSNBC News interview after his expulsion, Jones said that the legislative body was setting a "dangerous" precedent.

“What the nation is seeing is that we don’t have democracy in Tennessee — and that if we don’t act we have some very dark days ahead. And so we have to respond to this with mass movements, nonviolent movements,” Jones said.

“To expel voices of opposition and dissent is a signal of authoritarianism,” he added, suggesting that Tennessee’s action should “sound the alarm across the nation that we are entering into very dangerous territory.”

During the March 30 protests, the trio led supporters in chants calling for stricter gun safety measures after a mass shooting in a Nashville school that killed six people — including three 9-year-old children. A bullhorn was used, in violation of rules for the House chamber, and the lawmakers were gathered in area on the House floor without being recognized to speak. House leaders at the time called their actions “an insurrection.”

As members debated the resolution to remove Johnson, she said she participated in the protest because she felt she had to "raise the voice of the people in my district. I did what I felt those folks wanted me to do.”

“I did it for the kids in my district, for the kids in my state, for the kids in this community,” she said.

“My friends in school all called me Little Miss Law and Order because I’m a rule follower and I know that rules sometimes have to be broken, and sometimes you have to get in good trouble," Johnson added.

She also said that the resolution's charge that she "began shouting without recognition," was false, insisting that while she did protest in the part of the chamber known as the well, she didn't speak.

Addressing her supporters after the vote, Johnson said, “America should be worried," adding, according to The Tennesseean, that the failed vote to expel her “might have to do with the color of my skin.”

GOP Rep. Andrew Farmer, who sponsored the resolution to expel Pearson, described the trio’s March 30 protest on the House floor as a “temper tantrum.”

“Just because you don’t get your way doesn’t mean you can come to the well with your friends,” he said Thursday.

Pearson responded by saying: “He called a peaceful protest a temper tantrum. It isn’t a temper tantrum to say kids should go to schools that are actually safe."

The proceedings prompted criticism from Democrats across the country, including the White House. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dubbed the scheduled expulsion votes as "legislative bullying."

“The fact that this vote is happening is shocking, undemocratic and without precedent,” she said at Thursday's White House briefing.

After Jones was expelled, President Joe Biden chastised Republican legislators over the votes to remove the Democrats.

"Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting. And what are GOP officials focused on?Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action," Biden tweeted. "It’s shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent."

In an MSNBC News interview before the vote over his expulsion, Pearson said, “We are losing our democracy, this is not normal, this is not OK.”

“We broke a House rule because we were fighting for kids who are dying from gun violence and people in our communities who want to see an end to the proliferation of weaponry,” Pearson said.

“No one should be wanting to operate as though this is not happening, as though we are not living in a gun violent-epidemic in the state of Tennessee," he added.

Tensions flared earlier this week when the expulsion proceedings started Monday with the introduction of the resolutions. Over the yells of protesters who had again filled the chamber, each proposal passed on a party-line vote.

A protester was arrested Monday during the chaos, which, according to reporters at the session, included a physical altercation between Jones and GOP Rep. Justin Lafferty. Jones accused Lafferty of stealing his phone and trying to “incite a riot with his fellow members,” The Tennessean newspaper of Nashville reported.

The Tennessee Constitution allows either of the legislative chambers to expel a member with support from two-thirds its members.

With Republicans holding the necessary supermajority to carry out the expulsions Thursday, Democrats in the chamber had no tools to put up any meaningful resistance against the measures.

Any of the lawmakers removed by expulsion will be able to run in special elections for the seats they were booted from.

Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, has 30 days to set a date for the special elections. In the meantime, interim representatives selected by county commissions in which the seats are located will fill in.

Johnson’s district includes parts of Knoxville; Jones’ includes parts of Nashville; and Pearson’s includes parts of Memphis.

The Tennessee House last voted to expel a sitting member in 2016, when members voted 70-2 to throw out Rep. Jeremy Durham over sexual misconduct allegations.

According to The Tennessean, House members had previously voted to expel a member in 1980 — but they hadn’t done so since the Civil War. The Tennessee Senate voted last year to expel a sitting member for the first time — Katrina Robinson — after she was convicted of federal wire fraud charges.

But unlike in those prior instances, Johnson, Jones and Pearson faced no criminal or civil charges or any investigations.

More than 250 Democratic state lawmakers across the U.S. signed on to a letter organized by a progressive legislation advocacy group that accused Tennessee Republicans of racist motives.

“The attempts to expel Reps. Jones, Johnson, and Pearson show a dark truth in the light of day: there’s a robust and racist connection between fighting against gun safety and dismantling our democracy,” the letter says.

Ron DeSantis drew congressional maps for the sole purpose of diminishing Black voting power in Jacksonville.

He wants schools to teach the “personal benefits”of slavery.

He censored AP African American studies.

So yeah, he got BOOED in Duval today.

Two members of the Little Rock Nine — the group of Black students who in 1957 integrated the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School while being threatened by an angry mob — are blasting the Arkansas Department of Education over restrictions placed on an Advanced Placement African American Studies course set to be offered this year.

After Arkansas earlier this week said that the course, which remains in its pilot stage, would not be counted toward high school graduation credits, six schools said that they would still continue teaching the course. In the North Little Rock and Jacksonville North Pulaski school districts, officials announced that the course would count as a "local elective" instead.

The Arkansas Department of Education has argued that there is uncertainty as to whether or not coursework goes against an executive order signed earlier this year by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders that bars "critical race theory" from being taught in the state's classrooms.

In interviews with NBC News, Little Rock Nine members Elizabeth Eckford and Terrence Roberts spoke out against the state's actions.

"I think the attempts to erase history is working for the Republican Party," Eckford told the news outlet. "They have some boogeymen that are really popular with their supporters."

Roberts, who told the outlet that the group "suffered physically and emotionally" in the effort to integrate Central High, said that at a "bare minimum" laws prohibiting what students can and cannot learn shouldn't be on the books.

Roberts recounted that at some commemorations of the group integrating Central High, some have sought to shield the images of the angry mob incensed that Black students dared to believe that they could belong at the high school as well. He also slammed the prohibition of critical race theory — which is almost exclusively taught at a collegiate level — as "ridiculous."

The Arkansas Department of Education in a statement stood by its decision.

"Until it's determined whether it violates state law and teaches or trains teachers in CRT and indoctrination, the state will not move forward," the Department said. "The Department encourages the teaching of all American history and supports rigorous courses not based on opinions or indoctrination."

During a Thursday interview on Fox News, the Governor reaffirmed the decision of the Education Department and stated that she wanted schools to focus on "the basics of teaching math, of teaching reading, writing and American history."

"We cannot perpetuate a lie to our students and push this propaganda leftist agenda teaching our kids to hate America and hate one another," she said.

The AP African American Studies course was offered by Central High during the previous school year, and it will also be an option for students during the new school year.

One of the defining images of the civil-rights movement is a photograph of a then-15-year-old Eckford as she walked to Central High wearing sunglasses and holding her schoolbooks as she faced an angry mob.

Huckabee Sanders, who was elected to the Governorship last November after serving as White House press secretary under then-President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019, is also a graduate of Central High.

NAACP was right. Unfortunately, Black Floridans are at risk daily. Keep them in your thoughts as another targeted mass shooting has occurred in the state of Florida. 3 Black lives lost today due to pure hatred for just existing.
