(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Democrats and leftists who for years have fomented the criminal prosecution and social persecution of peaceful J6 political protesters changed their tune Thursday, howling injustice and peddling racism after Tennessee Republicans booted two insurrectionist lawmakers from the state Legislature, while radical activists called for “arson attacks across the state.”
The Tennessee House voted to expel Democrat representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson for “disorderly conduct” stemming from their role in using a bullhorn and aggressively agitating protesters from the House floor. A mob of radical activists hijacked the mass shooting tragedy at Nashville’s Covenant School, where a transgender triggerman killed six Christians, by storming the state Capitol to demand gun confiscation instead of assistance for the mentally ill or improvements to school safety.

Rep. Gloria Johnson, who had joined the two lawmakers but reportedly didn’t use a bullhorn, escaped expulsion, much to her disappointment.
Johnson, who is white, told reporters after the vote that she “couldn’t feel good about her survival” while her two black colleagues were expelled, claiming they were targeted because of their race. Others were equally quick to play the race card.
The expelled the two black men and kept the the white woman! The racism that is on display today! Wow!

With actions proving intent, the so-called Tennessee Three showed that their leading last week’s storming of the state Capitol had more to do with trans-insurrection and gun confiscation than with school safety. All three lawmakers voted Thursday against a bill that passed with bi-partisan support to enhance security and safety measures at public and private schools, the Tennessean reported.
Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton said race had nothing to do with the expulsion decision, which he said was focused on preserving the rule of law and democracy.
“Their actions and beliefs that they could be arrested on the House floor were an effort, unfortunately, to make themselves the victims,” Sexton wrote. “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.”
The Tennessee Republican lawmakers drew wide praise for their actions to hold accountable Democrat activist lawmakers leading a trans mob that used a mass shooting tragedy to advance their own radical agenda.
The Democrats led a mob into the capitol building and then tried to use the floor of the House as a staging ground for a political demonstration. They never imagined that Republicans would actually use their constitutional authority to expel them. But they did. Awesome stuff.

Collin Rugg applauded Jones’s expulsion “for leading an anti-2nd Amendment insurrection last week,” calling it “a great day for democracy.”
Democrats and leftist radicals responded to the expulsions with shocked outrage at the ouster of their insurrectionist champions by hurling insults, dropping f-bombs, disrupting legislative business and reportedly calling for “arson attacks across the state.”
As revenge for Democrats @brotherjones_ & @Justinjpearson being expelled from the Tennessee House for leading a direct action to shut down official proceedings in the state capitol, leftists on social media are urging arson attacks across the state.

“Congrats to the Tennessee House for voting out 2 of 3 Democrat insurrectionists who stormed the state Capitol last week,” tweeted Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk. “Now they’re free to move to California. I’m told U-Hall is begging for drivers to make the return trip back west.”
