MAGA Tennessee Republicans are so terrified of losing the midterms they’re trying to erase the state's only Black-majority Democratic district. When Democrats called it what it is — racist gerrymandering — Republicans stripped them of their committee seats. That’s not democracy. It’s desperation.

Always trying to make it about race is a tired line. TN is winning because of bold, conservative leadership that was on display last week. Democrats were stripped of committees because their actions violated decorum, House rules, were dangerous and reckless. Get better policies and candidates.
🚨 JUST IN — FAFO: Tennessee Speaker of the House REMOVES Democrat lawmakers from *ALL* committee assignments who acted like thugs and trash when the legislature passed redistricting GREAT! Now expel Rep. Justin Pearson (D), who intimidated a police officer. Pearson frankly should be in JAIL. "Members of the Democratic Caucus will receive individual letters removing them from all standing committees and subcommittees of the House, except where membership is required pursuant to Rule 65 of the House Rules." 👏🏻 h/t @robbystarbuck
Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on. This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
TN Dems got removed from all committees for last week’s House floor meltdown. Props, alarms, coordinating with paid protesters, etc. Of course now they’re playing victim. Maybe next year we’ll explain the basics like “don’t start fires in the Capitol” On the bright side: now Rep. Pearson has until JANUARY to work on that dance routine
Op-ed by @RepMarkWhiteTN in The Tennessean: The teachers’ union wants to paint Tennessee as ‘last in spending.’ Reality: We raised per-pupil funding +52%, teacher salaries +68%, and now outperform $ 30k-per-student DC & NY in the Nation’s Report Card. Republican leadership delivers.
