Jones attributed the expulsions of Jones and Pearson to the Republican supermajority in the Tennessee House and because the GOP “can’t put forth policies” that address issues like gun violence.

The two young Black males did not survive their votes and were expelled.

“All this bullshit that happened in Nashville today started … with the gun deaths, the violent gun deaths of three children and three adults in Nashville, at a school, at a private school,” Jones said in the video. The former senator said he was outraged over the speaker of the Tennessee House likening the protestors to the Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
