He said the members were “unfairly prosecuted” after they protested against gun violence on the chamber floor.

The GOP should be a shame of themselves.
Waaa I incited a mob to storm a government building and was punished waaa💨🤡
Umm why are we calling it "black caucus"?
Shouldn't break rules and shutdown actual debate.
welcome to the new GOP america,the united states of Russia (nz boy)
The classic victim mentality. This is what they want from black people. When we all know you are so much more. The democrats have held black down for generations. The democrats are killing you all slowly
I think there's 12% of America who are uneducated, low IQ and uncivilized… I hope they soon discover Wakanda and go there.
Kudos to the African guys in Tennessee for standing firm against gun violence.
I fully understand the reason why they are so upset about those evil whytesupremacists who are shooting up Memphis on a daily basis.
Hopefully, their valiant efforts will finally put a stop to it.
IMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.
They broke the rules and got fired! End of!
The Democrats let the Republicans hijack Christianity. Get out of the churches.
Donate to reinstate the Justins!
I think they were trying to get the Black guy with the afro out.
Johnson knew beforehand that she wasn't going to be expelled. And stop calling them The Tennessee Three, it's Tennessee Two.🇺🇲👎🏽
Stop crying
Tennessee showed the world that is a fascist, racist, transphobic garbage state. The world has taken notice and the great majority of people, white, black and everything else, will address this toxic poison. This won't stand nor will the other abuses being leveled across the country.
Tennessee Ernie Ford 's Family please 🙏 call or email about this atrocity ? Please ?
Unfair ! Please 🙏 everyone to kindly boycott Tennessee ❤
Every day Americans are witnessing the truth of CRT.
They are clearly insurrectionists that deserve to be locked in solitary confinement for a few years before they are given the chance to prove their innocence
I wonder what the white caucus has to say o yea I forgot only black people are aloud to racist
This is the GOP fascism in full display!! Please wake up America and stop being so complacent!!🙏🏽🙌🏾🇺🇲
M-hmmm
Van assault weapons. This was just retaliation because trump got arrested and you can’t say it wasn’t. Trump said there will be death and destruction. Live up to that CRT. Whites not all whites but whites who act like there slave owners 10x great grandfathers who think Black People ain’t nothing. You showed who you really are.
What crimes they committed? Speaking out their values, is not a crime. Those that have committed real crimes are being protected. Like Putin, with his nuclear terror, they have America trembling with their threats
Somebody give these clowns some tissues..
Another political temper tantrum, as usual for the dems.
Don’t protest during proceedings and use a bullhorn acting like a buffoon. 🤷🏿♂️
Wascism
Racism alive and living well in Tennessee I see.
Snap EBT products the whole wheat Nestle lean hot pockets. New to me. I only mentioned it because it was not available before
Get rid of them !
