Kick those Democrats out then beat their skulls in with baseball bats.
Christians for political fame. They are neither victims nor heroes.
When two Democrat lawmakers joined a mob of left-wing insurrectionists who
took over the Tennessee Capitol last week, they were rightfully expelled
from the states general assembly.
Nashville Rep. Justin Jones and Memphis Rep. Justin Pearson violated the
Tennessee General Assemblys decorum requirements when they held up a
protest sign and shouted into a bullhorn, encouraging left-wing rioters
who were illegally disrupting legislative proceedings last week.
Eventually, the noise coming from Jones, Pearson, and insurrectionists
grew so raucous members of the General Assembly were forced to exit the
chamber and suspend legislative business.
Democrats have responded to the insurrection instigators rightful
expulsions in hysterics, claiming the assemblys decision to expel Johnson
and Pearson was undemocratic and racist. Some even claimed the expulsion
signals that Tennessee is less free than North Korea.
Leftists claim Jones and Pearson were expelled simply because they are
black, given that Gloria Johnson, another representative who is white,
stood next to the two men during the Tennessee insurrection but was not
expelled.
I feel like North Korea has more democracy than we do in the state of
Tennessee, and its terrifying to me that were in this march to fascism,
said Johnson, who later credited her continued standing position in the
assembly to the fact that shes a 60-year-old white woman.
However, Johnsons own lawyer separated her from Jones and Pearson,
pointing out Johnson did not shout, let alone scream into a bullhorn
during the Tennessee insurrection. Instead, Johnson stood silently next to
the other two men. Johnson survived the expulsion by only one vote but was
stripped of her committee assignments.
Ironically, the only example of real racism came from Jones, who described
his former colleague, Rep. Sabi Doc Kumar, as a brown face because
Kumar is an Indian immigrant who happens to be Republican. This week,
while pretending racism was the cause of his expulsion, Jones found time
to double down on this bigotry, saying Kumar is only a Republican because
hes confused.
President Joe Biden characterized the Tennessee insurrection as peaceful
and described Jones and Pearsons expulsion as shocking, undemocratic,
and without precedent. Former President Barack Obama issued a similar
statement on Twitter. To be clear, a mob of insurrectionists halting
Tennessees legislative process with the aid of assemblymembers is
actually undemocratic, as was the politicians decisions to egg them on.
Jones and Pearson are simply facing the consequences of subverting
American democracy.
Further, Democrats, notably Biden and Obama, have spent the last decade
targeting their political opponents and eroding democratic norms and
standards in the process. Obamas Internal Revenue Service infamously
targeted conservative organizations, and his administration spied on the
Trump campaign under knowingly false pretenses.
Under Bidens Department of Justice (DOJ), Jan. 6 demonstrators, many of
whom were truly peaceful, were thrown in jail for two years without due
process and slandered by a months-long Congressional show trial that
maliciously hid exculpatory surveillance footage from the public and the
defendants lawyers.
Despite the similarities between what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, and March
30, 2023, Biden, Obama, and the rest of the Democrats, insist the
Tennessee insurrection was peaceful, but Jan. 6 was an affront to
democracy and a national tragedy akin to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Civil
War.
Moreover, the same Democrats who are describing the expulsions as
unprecedented and undemocratic called for the expulsions of U.S. Senators
Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for objecting to the certification of the 2020
election after Democrats rigged the outcome.
Jones, Johnson, and Pearson are not victims. They instigated an
insurrection at the Tennessee State Capitol and have been justifiably
punished for their bad behavior. The real victims are the six Christians
who were murdered by a transgender shooter, whose deaths are now being
used by Democrats for political gain.
Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to travel to Tennessee to visit
with Jones, Johnson, and Pearson, but not the families of the six slain
Christians. Harris plans to further discuss restrictions on Americans
Second Amendment rights but not the mental health crisis instigating the
barbaric actions of the transgender shooter, whose gender dysphoria
leftists have falsely labeled normal and brave.
Democrats havent just exploited the Christian victims, theyve
disrespected their memories by claiming the transgender murderer is a
fellow victim of the shooting. Last week, the Tennessee insurrectionists
held up seven fingers for the supposed seven victims in the shooting,
referring to the killer as victim.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press
conference after the shooting that our hearts go out to the trans
community who is under attack right now, instead of the murdered
Christians. Further, Bidens Department of Justice does not plan to
investigate the shooting as a hate crime despite Nashville law enforcement
suggesting the killer specifically targeted her victims and that the
attack was linked to the killers transgender identity.
Jones and Pearson seized on a national tragedy and exploited it for
political fame. They are not martyrs or heroes. They are morally bankrupt
former members of the Tennessee General Assembly who have been rightfully
removed from positions they do not deserve to hold.
