Great for him ! Y’all mad a black man won they love him
I can't wait to see what he does.
Is he another grifter just trying to cash in or is he going to actually do something.
You can't be serious right now
This is racism from black people, looks to me like he needs a mental evaluation
I guess they had to meet their quota.
Leave it to NBC to lie, lie and lie. They're famous for it!
Ehh, I don't think him putting on an accent is a big thing. He's probably imagining he's at a slam poetry event. That mic does something to you lol
He try’s to hard to “sound passionate”
ya i’m keepin my strap until you do something abt the crime, it’s me vs crime while he sits in his million dollar house safe n sound while i gotta keep my eyes peeled going to the corner store 🤷🏽 i ain’t republican but a criminal isn’t going to listen to gun control, that’s so delusional. ima defend myself and that’s that.
This is a good man. 👍🏽
Hope they get booted out again if they break the rules.😊
Amazing how the left makes heroes out of insurrectionists and fake civil rights activists. They look so silly.😂
What a joke😂!
Great day for TN and America. Can't wait to see the faces of the Republicans in the TN statehouse. 🇺🇸✊
Whoops, these dumb Republicans just made a national hero
Calm down Pearson, people there are racists!
Tennessee republicans clutching their white hoods and crying. 😂😂😂
You can't replace Truth for Feelings and expect conformance. Knowing the Truth keeps you alert of the deception because people will always be out for their own agendas regardless of the Truth. Its hypocrisy for manipulation. It sounds like a call for violence if you don't conform to the deception. Knowing the Truth will set one Free.
Now we need the media to turn everyone’s attention to the immense WASTE of money and resources that will be inflicted on the communities that need to hold special elections all because of a failed white-power flex.
I’m hoping some lawyers can be successful in exposing the illegality of the expulsion and then can get the special elections cancelled
I'm not up to date with this story.. is he trying to repeal the 2nd ammendment and take away my right to own an Ar-15?
Despite what party you are, anyone should be impressed by his public speaking skills at this young age
Fake Malcolm X
AmeriKKKa you are doomed, your reign is over.
People praising this man all I could say is do your homework He has a history of this and violence to those who oppose his views
Seethe, peckerwoods!
As new members Jones and Pearson each get to submit 15 bills. Worth it Republicans, you corrupt, authoritarian, bigoted pos’s? For Democrats it certainly was!
If he really cared about gun violence he would be supporting actually enforcing the law against those that commit gun violence.
Phony
So rarely in this country do the wheels of justice turn quickly. This was one of the few exceptions. I'm so glad these two young men were reinstated within days. After the Trump years I'm so used to a total lack of accountability or change. Everything and anything was allowed, no matter how corrupt. Now it looks like the winds are changing. The two Justins' were swept forward by a building wave of righteousness, and I hope we can all ride that wave to freedom.
That’s a him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
✊🏿
Next Barack
What hypocrisy— he clearly violated the rules and faced the consequences yet it’s called “racism”. Also led the charge to take over the state house yet it’s NOT called an insurrection. Pathetic.
What's up with his fake MLK accent?
We will never move forward with this kind of people MLK is dead, can we just live
Who needs rules or laws when no one follows them anyway? Mass psychosis has prevailed.
