  1. What’s next?. It’s blatantly obvious what’s next the complete destruction of American and law and order this sends clear message that the Marxist domestic terrorists are not going to honor their oaths for comply to ANY LAW WE ARE living under a totalitarian dictatorship now.

  2. What is he famous for? What gun legislation has he introduced that would save lives? mental health legislation?

  3. TN State Rep Jones has been arrested for assaulting legislators, a driver with a street cone, standing on a cop car, and hitting a law enforcement officer with a mega phone. https://youtu.be/lFDZIxkBKzk

  4. The actual Tennessee three – Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9; William Kinney, 9; and Hallie Scruggs, 9. These other three narcissistic liberals should be ashamed of themselves.

  5. Another black racist who called a American native a brown face…

  6. Show the video of this clown calling a native American brown face ?

  7. Why is the thumbnail of a black supremacist fist sign lol ?

  8. 2023 USA 17 school shootings in 3 months. 1996 UK 1 in 27 years. 1923 New Zealand 1 in 100 years.

    Ban Americans from international travel to restrict the spread of stupidity and gun violence?

    Save the Earth from America's gun violence by closing all American military bases around the world.

    46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin's senseless war. 44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans in no war.

  9. Aotearoa, New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand are all official names for my country.

    Kia Ora (Be well) is our official greeting. Our anthem is sung in Māori and English. NZ currency has Māori and Pākehā shown on the notes.

    Even once apartheid South Africa, has now been ruled by dark brown for 39 years and has an anthem containing several local languages.

    The US has No official indigenous greeting, The Land of the Brave on Reservations and not shown on currency. Why does America refuse to grow up?

  10. The Republicans did the right thing there is video evidence but I knew they would give in

  11. They’ll keep crying racism all while the support racist gun control. We’ve come full circle.

  12. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today……

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

  14. Full Body Cavity Search and Nothing is Allowed to be taken in. Wish i was that privileged

  15. Isn't it funny how they marched people into the building and caused problems and they say that's democracy. When Jan 6th happened, they called it an insurrection and coup attempt and Trump not only didn't tell them to break into the house, but asked them to leave on Twitter! And surprise surprise, it's somehow a race issue
    Why isn't a trans issue since the killer was a trans. Oh yeah, that doesnt fit the narrative.

  16. They hindered official proceedings. That’s a chargeable offense if you’re a conservative.

  17. Tennessee is a MESSED UP state, like Kin Tuckee, or Misery. Fly-over states.

  18. What about our children that are being killed by gun violence? WE STAND WITH THE TENNESSEE 3! Thank you Kamala Harris, Vice President for your unscheduled stop in Tennessee to speak with the Democratic "TENNESSEE 3" lawmakers that were expelled for speaking up for the people and with the people regarding gun violence. Support from President, Joe Biden and former President, Barack Obama is awesome! WE WILL NEVER QUIT!

  19. I am waiting for the first "country song" to come out about TN trio….you play the record backwards and you'll get them back.

  20. Using your race or religion or sexual orientation allows you to “ cry out “ !! A mini riot in this room was totally out of line….

  21. I want to say the N word so bad right now! Fine I will, NEVER should have gotten his job back ! He broke the rules! But he got his job back, and still complaining! Matter of fact there was a insurrection and this whole no Justin no peace chant is a threat! It was a insurrection! They should be investigating!

  22. I don't want to hear any hypocrites talk about January 6th when this happened to their State Capital. People have broken a few doors and windows just to get in to have a tour walk inside the Capital, even when security let them in. This insurrection that happened to the State Capital of Tennessee, they caused actual violence. How's that in their State Capital of Tennessee is okay, but the one in January 6th was not?
