Also worth noting Speaker Cam Sexton doesn’t even live in the district he represents and shouldn’t even be eligible to be elected. TN GOP is such a supermajority it makes everything the “Tennesse three” even more impressive because they know they’ll always be squashed and out voted. It’s all about making noise for the public to take notice and maybe one day stop voting for the shitheads running this state.

Red states and the race to the bottom is amazing, sad, and infuriating to watch. No matter how destructive it is to their own people, they will continue to do policies that are known to have a negative impact.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The House’s decision to adjourn the special session without any significant gun safety legislation — after the session was called in response to a March shooting at a Nashville elementary school that left six people dead — led to outcries from members of the public in the gallery overlooking the chamber.

As lawmakers left the House floor to chants of “vote them out,” Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Democratic Rep. Justin Pearson appeared to have a brief physical confrontation, leading other members to rush forward and separate the two, according to videos of the incident.

Democratic Rep. Justin Jones also later took to the podium to bang the Speaker’s gavel and shouted, “This House is out of order.”

Both lawmakers ultimately won back their seats in the Tennessee House earlier this month.

House Republicans voted to silence Jones during the special session Monday, after determining that he had breached the chamber’s newly adopted rules by straying off topic from the bill being debated.

Jones had announced earlier Monday that he was planning to call for a vote of no confidence in Sexton “due to his continued abuse of power and dishonor to the public office he holds.”
