[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If these 3 people want to be activists, they should resign their seat and join the crowd.  They are State House Reps. They are expected to do their jobs and follow the rules. 
They did neither.  They were disruptive and incited the crowd.  They were lucky no state troopers were injured.  [/quote]

[b]It was a peaceful protest. It is allowed in our country, even if it makes you uncomfortable. The protestors may have been loud--but they were peaceful.[/b] They were not armed, so spare me your concern about the state troopers. The only armed protesters in state houses in recent times have been Republicans.

Also, these expulsions are [b]rare.[/b] The last time the TN state legislature expelled lawmakers was in 1980 (soliciting a bribe) and 2016 (allegations of sexual misconduct while in office).
"Since then [the 1800s], the House of Representatives in Tennessee has voted only twice to oust a lawmaker. Both votes were bipartisan: in 1980, after a sitting lawmaker was convicted of [b]soliciting a bribe[/b], and in 2016, after the House majority whip faced [b]allegations of sexual misconduct while in office[/b]."

What a complete joke.  Had these protesters - interrupting a legislative session, no less - been conservatives, you'd be calling for their heads.  Hypocrite, much?

Oh really? Have you met Cliven Bundy and his band of protesting miscreants? Or what about those who did interrupt legislative sessions in Michigan -ARMED- and handled with kid gloves, during the Pandemic?

GTFOH with your BS lies and whataboutisms. [/quote]
