The "State" of Tennessee! Is it Racism That We Are Witnessing or Just Bad Decisions by a Few Misguided Lawmakers?
The legislators who were defrocked earned what has happened to them by leading an insurrection into the Tennessee State Capitol. It's about accountability, not skin color.
Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson, 3 lawmakers from TN, now referred to as the Tennessee 3 have been hoisted to national prominence for protesting gun violence. But their vicious protests weren’t aimed at the murderers, they were aimed at GOP lawmakers in the TN House. It is one thing to protest, it is quite another for lawmakers to lead an insurrection inside the actual chamber of the TN Capitol, refer to the speaker as a liar and take over the podium while screaming through a blowhorn. Why were they doing this? Did they want to overthrow the government due to Tennessee’s adherence to the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution? Were they trying to hang elected officials like they said the J6 protesters were trying to do? Probably none of those things, but I believe they were setting another leftist trap and it seems to have worked…for now.
According to liberals across the country, the 3 lawmakers are heroes, who were merely exercising their 1st Amendment right to free speech which is afforded to all Americans. Not one to allow a crisis to go to waste, cult figure, puppet master and ex-President Barack Obama chimed in with the following tweets.
And their right to free speech should be absolutely protected, the same as the J6 protesters…er wait! Aren’t hundreds of those J6 protesters still sitting in prison with no trial date? Not only have those people lost their jobs, but they have lost their families and their freedom. Surely there has to be a tweet or quote from Obama on the horrible and unconstitutional injustice the J6 protesters and political prisoners have endured. But after a thorough and exhausting search, I have found no such statements or tweets from Obama regarding the J6 protesters/prisoners.
The reality is, the Tennessee 3 violated TN House decorum rules when they led a crowd into the House chamber, took over the podium and started chanting and drowning out a proceeding by screaming “no action, no peace!” Imagine it folks, lawmakers screaming at the top of their lungs that they want gun reform, by violating the Constitution and in the same breath threaten the chamber with violence. Let’s be clear, it was reckless rule breaking, not racism that cost them their seats. But like most, good little liberals, they are now pulling the race card with Justin Jones claiming the following.
I basically had a member call me an uppity negro.
Well, here is a question for Mr. Jones. Did this nameless member actually refer to you by using this term, or did he “basically” call you by this term? I ask, because there is a HUGE difference between actually saying it or “basically” calling you it. Basically calling you by this term is open for interpretation, where the term wasn’t actually used but you knew what he/she was thinking. Whereas actually calling you by this term leaves no doubt about what actually happened, not what “basically” happened. If you were referred to in this manner, it seems to me that you would want to name the person. As a matter of fact, if this actually happened, I, along with the rest of the country want you to name the person so they can be expelled.
In an effort to demonstrate the hypocrisy of democrat leaders in Tennessee, I would like to take everyone back in time for a moment. We are going back to the year 2020 in the same Tennessee State Capitol. This is the year that Democrats ousted one of their own from the democrat party. John DeBerry, a principled, old school, Christian lawmaker who represented district 90 in Memphis for some 26 years was thrown out of the party. He wasn’t thrown out for disrupting a proceeding, breaking house decorum rules or screaming “no action no peace” into a blow horn while taking over the chamber. He was thrown out because he has morals. Yes, he is an honorable man who stands against abortion, and stands for Christian values. He also reached across the aisle to work with his republican colleagues, all of it done to the dismay of today’s radical, democrat party leaders in Tennessee.
John DeBerry is currently working in Governor Lee’s administration as a trusted advisor, and since his ouster, Barack Obama has not tweeted any support for him. All I can say, is thank God Tennessee still has this man working in government.
