As Twitchy reported, the “Tennessee Three,” two of whom were actually expelled from the Tennessee legislature for “protesting guns,” have been making the media rounds. That sure got Audrey Hale and the Covenant School mass shooting out of the headlines conveniently.
As we said, only two of the three were voted out, and now it looks like Rep. Justin Jones has just been elected to full his vacant seat.

The thing about being a Democrat is that you never have to face consequences for your actions.
So they let an insurrectionist back in?

South Carolina sent Preston Brooks back after what he did too. Dems love rewarding all sorts of skullduggery

I hope they march and get booted again. These two are dumb enough to do just that.
