There is the long game to consider. These people are now national figures. Their livelihood on the speaking circuit is guaranteed for life, if they chose to go that route. Their political stature has greatly increased, as evidenced by likely action by county councils to re-appoint them to their seats and their likely landslide re-elections if they run for re-election.

That's one argument. I'm sure we'll hear others.View attachment 22352Michael Patrick Leahy: The Tennessee Constitution Requires a Vacancy in the State House of Representatives Be Filled by a 'Successor' Who Is Another Person, Not the Previous Representative - Tennessee Star
Friday morning on The Tennessee Star Report, host Michael Patrick Leahy explained Tennessee Constitution's laws on what would happen if former State Representative Justin Jones tries to run again for his expelled seat in a special election.
Just speculation. Reportedly this has never happened before at the Tennessee Capitol. “The Expelled Two” used a bullhorn to incite a crowd with a chant “No Justice, No Peace” and refused to yield to the gavel and took over the proceedings. Mutiny On The House Floor.

The long game is what these guys were playing. They turned the House floor debate into a show about themselves and their self aggrandizement under the guise of a gun control debate. The six lives lost at the Christian school were completely forgotten. They're both agitators and "community organizers" with little else on their resumes until today, when Biden's useful idiot made a trip to Nashville to meet with them. Their careers with BLM and racist activism have indeed been sealed, and hopefully Tennessee will soon be in their rear view mirror.
That's west of Nashville and close to Mississippi where they had some bad storms and tornadoes in the flat areas of the state. Eastern TN has more hills and mountains that break up this type of weather, but we still had unusually high winds Friday and Saturday.
She couldn’t get down there quick enough to try to racially exploit this episode. Biden already had the “martyrs” on a public zoom call. I guess The Left doesn’t have a problem with insurrectioning when they believe THEIR CAUSE is just.
In retrospect they probably would have been expelled, regardless of race. Remember, the debate was about gun control which is overwhelmingly opposed in Tennessee. To lead a disruptive demonstration from the House floor in favor of this issue would get the same result. Liberals have gained a reputation for inciting violence to get their way. That doesn't work in this part of the country.
Well standing in the middle of a highway or blowing a whistle in someones ear as a form of protest is stupid all it does is turn people against you.
Al Sharpton and Kamala Harris both went down as I understand it....both want money.
Did they incite violence in last week's events? I know of no physical conflicts or property damage.
Just to add a broader perspective to this situation, let's not forget what started all this. Six people were killed by a mentally ill transgender shooter at a Christian school in Nashville. The three activist legislators voted AGAINST a proposed law that provides funding for school resource officers in ALL TN schools and places officials from the TN DHS to coordinate safety procedures in public and private schools.

The “Expelled Two” chanted on the megaphone inside the Capitol in front of angry protesters “No justice, No peace”.
If someone was seriously injured or worse, the “Expelled Two” could very well be held responsible for that, right? For inciting violence, correct?
We've seen video (which seems curiously hard to find online) of the protesters outside the Capitol Bldg that shows a lot of physical confrontation going on between state troopers and protesters. This was not a "peaceful" protest. I haven't heard of any serious injuries, but many who were there were concerned about this event turning into a full-blown riot. It seems many were from out of town and maybe out of state, so it wasn't unreasonable to be concerned about Antifa agitators being there to incite violence like we've seen in so many other cities. The actions of these two agitators on the House floor could've very easily made things worse with the mayhem going on outside.
Due to Rep Barrett changing his vote at the last minute, the two TN House renegades have been able to turn their expulsion into racial injustice and "an act of white supremacy". The following clip offers more insight into what these guys are really like.
