Three Democrat Lawmakers Face Expulsion For Joining Tennessee Statehouse ‘Insurrection’

It was only a few days ago that there was reported an “insurrection” at the Tennessee statehouse.

Leftists and anti-gun ideologues staged protests at the state’s Capitol over a shooting, by a transgender individual, Audrey Hale, of three children and three adults at a Christian school.

Fox News confirmed state troopers detained at least one protester, and three Democrats in the state House joined the activism.

“Chants of ‘no justice, no peace’ and ‘save our children’ echoed through the Tennessee House of Representatives chamber as pro-gun control protesters posted up both inside and outside the state capitol building,” Fox reported. “Three Democrat state lawmakers — Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson — brought the Tennessee lower chamber to a halt when they joined in chanting with the protesters.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Local media reports described the raucous protests that day as an “insurrection.”

Now, it appears, there may be a serious price to pay for the legislators’ activism.

The Washington Examiner documents how majority Republicans in the state House have filed resolutions to expel those three Democrats.

They are accused of bringing “disorder and dishonor” on the House.

The lawmakers being targeted had used “a megaphone to call for gun control laws and disregarding rules on decorum, among other House rules, according to state House Speaker Cameron Sexton.”

“Their actions are and will always be unacceptable, and they break several rules of decorum and procedure on the House floor. Their actions and beliefs that they could be arrested on the House floor were an effort, unfortunately, to make themselves the victims,” the speaker explained.

“In effect, those actions took away the voices of the protestors, the focus on the six victims who lost their lives, and the families who lost their loved ones,” he added.

The Democrats claimed not to have violated any rules.

“We walked to the well to speak to the people who were begging us to protect them. Article two of the state constitution states that lawmakers have a right to protest against and dissent from any legislation that’s injurious to the people and have their protest marked in the journal of the house’s. That’s what we were doing,” Johnson claimed.

Expulsion of the three would require a two-thirds vote in a statehouse where Republicans outnumber Democrats 75-24.

The three already have been removed from their committee assignments.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Question: Why do the political and corporate leaders of America – long the freest, most successful, most prosperous and most Christian nation in history – bow and scrape before China, a ruthless, communist, totalitarian and explicitly atheistic dictatorship openly committed to ruling the world, including America?

The astonishing answers come into focus only when one contemplates both the unprecedented level of political and financial corruption in America’s ruling class (multiple Biden family members received $31 million in payola from China), and simultaneously the communist Chinese government’s brilliantly devious methods of unconventional total warfare, by which China is stealthily infiltrating, subverting, corrupting and colonizing the United States of America.

The China threat has rarely been more dramatically or pointedly documented than in the sensational March issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOW CHINA IS CONQUERING AMERICA.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
