  1. Name the GOP that voted expulsion. They ought to be voted out next time at the ballot box!

  2. Those 2 loud mouth narcissist got what they deserved, That white woman would have been treated the same if she had a megaphone.

  3. And people say we are free nope we are not

  4. Politicians only represent their own not the American people this is proof right here

  5. Look at Michigan looking Chicago look at New York

  6. Gun control never works look at California

  7. NBC is full of CRAP

  8. DEGENERATE DEMOCRATS, INMORAL ROTTEN PARTY

  9. Laws violated not rules violated. It’s funny how Dems always call on Republicans to de-escalate while there are still Republicans in jail without charges or court dates for the same thing. Impeding government proceedings. What a joke.

  10. Wow, those chandeliers are probably even more impressive in person. Beautiful.

  11. Wonderful thing get them out

  12. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye! 🎶

  13. God bless those who survived the Tennessee insurrection. May time heal their wounds.

  14. They don’t care about any of those children that were killed and their family. They’ve gone to far.

  15. Wow I’m glad after being scammed by vendors out there I just got a PayPal transfer of $4000 into my account from Maskoffaid on youtube

  17. The modern GOP is the party of white nationalism. Anyone who denies this is lying or ignorant …or both. The ONLY way to stop this red hate from spreading is to VOTE IT OUT.
    If you are eligible, and you vote, you’re awesome! As for the rest of you, there’s no point in condemning Republican greed, bigotry, fascism and cruelty unless you’re voting and/or actively encouraging others to vote. Democracy is not a spectator sport; use it or lose it.

  18. Several violations were committed here, their expelling equal to: VIOLATION OF THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, DISCRIMINATION/RACISM and EXPELLING THEM WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THEY WERE OFFICIALLY ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THAT STATE, Tennessee. Is the GOP playing a "ball game with our Constitution"?.

  19. The people voted for their representation. How can those other people say you can't do your job???

  20. The hypocrisy here is just insane. Doesn't this mean that everyone involved in the Jan. 6th insurrection should rightfully have been expelled from the government? Of course, Republicans would say no but then how do they explain this?

  21. I think it shows the discrimination against the GOP party against two black African-American young men that’s part of our government and I think that this is unfair and I think they need to be a revolt because of this is what our country has become. I feel sorry for the American people for our country that you expel to African-Americans but when Margie Taylor green Talks so bad about our president in about the Democrats and about the Jews. She gets a golden ticket and I think there’s something wrong with our government if this is taken place and it’s sad to know that this is what I will government has become this is a sign of racism from the GOP party.

  22. Good old ignorance & disgusting people. Have they checked to see if women really have vaginas in Tennessee? We already know most Tennessee males have no balls!!! EVIL DEGENERATES! 😈😈

  23. Is expultion also available to the federal congress?
