I Do Me and Laugh at You

They kicked out the 2 black reps and let the white rep stay. Sheesh!

because these are elected positions, Tennessee law states that temporary replacements for expelled members can be APPOINTED

appointed by whom?

the same districts that elected them!

which means if their home districts act quickly, these guys can be back at their desks as soon as next week!

and while that appointment is ‘temporary’, the temporary status lasts only until the next special election

and there is nothing in Tennessee law that forbids an expelled member from running again in special elections

so basically…

these GOP assholes only succeeded in elevating their fascist antics to national attention, made Jones & Pearson into rockstars, and galvanized Democratic opposition. Voters (especially Independents) are gonna remember this, especially since Democrats won’t let them forget!

Here’s Justin Pearson’s donation link. I’m already a donor because he’s in my district but if you want to help out with his re-election please do so. I will find the other reps info also.
