Radical Dem Lawmakers Booted from Committees for Breaking Rules
The Tennessee General Assembly punished two radical progressive lawmakers Monday for breaking House floor rules last week.
Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville) were kicked off their committees after they brought a megaphone onto the floor as hundreds of their supporters clashed with law enforcement, the Tennessee Holler first reported.
Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) was with the duo on the house floor. No word on his punishment at this time.
The Holler shared the official notice served to Johnson:
You have been removed from all House standing committees and subcommittees and any committees on which you serve as designee.
Rep. @VoteGloriaJ has been kicked off of all committees for speaking up in the well — as has @brotherjones_
They are currently sitting in Gov ops anyway pic.twitter.com/yfxIwe3bq1

From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.
They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.

House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) accused the far-left trio’s stunt on the house floor of distracting from the six people that lost their life during the Nashville School shooting one week ago.
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.
