An angry Democrat mob returned to the Tennessee Capitol on Thursday for the second time in less than two weeks. This time the mob was there to protest an expulsion vote of Tennessee State Representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin Pearson. These state reps face expulsion because they encouraged a Democrat mob to storm the Tennesee Capitol last week. Thursday, a Democrat mob was encouraged by Democrat members of Congress and activists.
The anti-2nd Amendment group, March for Our Lives, encouraged Thursday’s lawless activity at the Tennessee State Capitol through multiple tweets on their page. One tweet showed a video of the mob chanting and screaming inside the Tenessee Capitol. The tweet read, “Who’s house? GEN-Z’S HOUSE. NOW: In the TN State Capitol in #Nashville, students FROM ALL OVER THE STATE gather and chant “FREE THE TENNESSEE THREE” and “YOU ARE FASCIST”, as State Reps. enter the House Floor. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. #MarchForOurLives”

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MN) shared David Hogg’s video that showed Tennessee law enforcement blocking the mob from entering the capitol. David Hogg captured the video, writing, “LIVE IN NASHVILLE- SECURITY STOPPED LETTING FOLKS INTO THE CAPITOL, CROWD CHANTING “LET US UP” AS THE LEGISLATURE VOTES TO EXPELL THREE ELECTED OFFICIALS FOR STANDING WITH GUN VIOLENCE SURVIVORS Follow @AMarch4OurLives for live updates.” Tlaib’s tweet in response to Hogg’s video read, “This is simply unbelievable.”

Democrat Congressman Maxwell Frost from Florida also backed the mob by sharing the same video on his Twitter page and writing, “These leaders are representing & protecting their constituents who are tired of being shot in their classrooms and communities. The TN Speaker’s response— a vote on their expulsion today. This is an extremist, undue response. We stand against these blatant abuses of power, whether it be in TN or FL.”
