The people of @brotherjones_ and @Justinjpearson’s districts were disenfranchised today. I’m proud that Metro Council is meeting Monday to fill the vacancy left in Nashville by today’s vote, & I believe they’ll send @brotherjones_ right back to continue serving his constituents.
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson TNGOP stole two elections today. And they did it in front of a national audience.
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson Good for you, and will not set foot in TN ever again.
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson What happens in TN impacts us all. The nation and the world is watching. Stand strong for our values of democracy. Show the country & the world the importance of local gov’t. You matter. I 👀 you 🙏❤️💪🏼🇺🇸
@JohnCooper4Nash @ResisTyger @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson You might want to take a stronger stand than that. Like: I demand an inquiry. failure to prove their case means those GOP LEADERS ARE EXPELLED. It’s election interference & voter suppression. The GOP lost those districts; theY can’t DICTATE how WINNERS run their districts.
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson Was it because they are black? Let's be honest, all of us #Americans saw it and it's a bit fishy with #Tennessee's history of #Slavery #Confederacy. I'll go to #Kentucky, way better governor @AndyBeshearKY and a much safer place. @twbutts
@JohnCooper4Nash @Psbntn9 @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson For years, members of the @GOP have operated under this mirage: they have claimed they are not Trump. But today we see that the problem with the @GOP is not only Trump. The problem with the @GOP is that it is wholly animated by the evils of authoritarianism and white supremacy.
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson Tennessee Republicans just showed their true colors (except one that voted NO for all three expulsions). The rest may as well have worn Klan robes waving signs that said, 'WE DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT CHILDREN'S LIVES!'
@JohnCooper4Nash @brotherjones_ @Justinjpearson Tennessee legislators have shown us who they are today! They are the enemy.
