I’ve been watching Nicole Wallace, and they are covering the death of Democracy in Tennessee, where three State reps are currently being removed from office. The pushback by protesters is amazing. The three have been accused of joining a peaceful protest over action on gun control after the slaughtering of three nine-year-olds and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville, TN.

Rep. Justin Jones has been removed. He was expelled on a 75 — 25 vote.

The other two will follow their “trial” in a few minutes.

I’m riled up. I suspect these actions will not go very well with the American people. Tennessee is so gerrymandered that nothing will change that. Pushback on the TN GOP will be unrelenting, though.

Time for the Feds to step in.
