Christian group gathers 12,000 signatures to oust TN Republican leader who expelled Black lawmakers.

A Christian group called Faithful America has gathered over 12,500 signatures on a petition demanding the resignation of Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, who led a vote that expelled two Black lawmakers earlier this month. The petition accuses Sexton and the Republican caucus of "authoritarian actions" and calls for accountability. The two Black lawmakers were reinstated a week later after votes by their respective local councils and commissions. Sexton has not yet responded to the petition.
