Gun Control Protesters Facing Expulsion as GOP Targets Dissenters

  • Three Tennessee lawmakers protested for gun control following a school shooting and now face expulsion for their dissent.
  • Supporters argue the legislators were joining a peaceful protest and that expulsion is an extreme punishment that goes against the will of voters.
  • The GOP effort to expel follows accusations that the lawmakers incited an insurrection, which the protesters deny.
  • Amid increased partisan divides, the White House condemns the push to expel while the state Republican party stands by it.
  • The vote comes as gun violence again dominates headlines and lawmakers remain divided on passing new gun laws.
