  1. They whitey only was saved by one vote and they call that racism?,I truly fear for Americans future .

  2. When is the next expulsion date they need to go.

  3. It's not partisanship. he was race-baiting and trying to start racial issues. If you go into politics, you have to follow the rules. You can change the rules, but you can't ignore them since you don't like their state. Representative Justin Jones interrupted proceedings of the house, The government and the committee's of the house.

  4. Is this the same a**** who assaulted drivers in 2020?

  5. Did you see him commit crimes harming drivers? OMGosh, we best get him gone for good or is this what the people want, a terrorist running them? Looks like it so no luck coming your way, just harm.

  6. Hopefully the people will vote this con artist out of office. His reinstatement is only temporary.

  7. Kick that hooligan out again

  8. The Mayor of NYC is wrong!! When he rolling out a computerized Dog, with Facial Recoginition camera's on it!! Don't be fooled, These robotic dogs can track you! You think this dog doesn't have facial recognition camera's, and is able to hear your conversation? Hello?

  9. Thank you for fighting for the people.

  10. This guy looking for racism like it's an Easter egg hunt.

  11. Should've shown them the door and changed the locks.

  12. Dude is going to have a hard time getting things done there.

  13. I don't support black democrats, agents of white supremacy

  14. We totally missed the point. Although the expulsion of these congressmen is shameful there is still no change by the republican legislature of Tennessee who maintain a gerrymandered super majority. They are not afraid nor are they affected by demonstrations of that day or the turnout of the next. There is no chance of gun reform. This victory is incomplete.

  15. Why isn't he in jail for obstructing legislators ? Rep voters that did the same on jan6 are in jail ???

  16. haha americans are like children when it comes too politics

  17. Why yall turn off yall live chat .. cause yall scare of what the ppl will say ?

  18. Those demonic repithugs can't even look him in the eye. Those racist yt supremacists tried it and GOD SAID CHECKMATE

  19. They should have kicked Justin Jones out for good.

  20. Justin Jones is a real EMBARRASSMENT

  21. Will he stop acting like a child? Probably not, gen z has the mental capacity of a 12yo.

  22. Why are they acting like Banning Guns is the only way for school shootings to stop. That's not the answer we need better security at our schools, armed security, cameras and fences with barbwire.

  23. Notice how it's mostly women, tranny's, gays, kids, and blm protesting for this. I feel like blm is there to eventually get money out of the people, Real black men want their guns. Real Men all over America want their Legal Owned guns to protect their families,the women and children. There's so many cases were a Legally owned gun has saved a person's life. What our schools need is better security armed security, cameras and fences.
