Expelled Tennessee Lawmaker Justin Jones Reinstated by Nashville Metro Council

Nashville's Metro Council unanimously voted to reinstate Justin Jones, the Tennessee House representative who was expelled last week for participating in a gun control rally. Jones will serve as an interim legislator until a special election is called. The Republican-led statehouse expelled Jones and Justin Pearson for allegedly violating the chamber's rules of decorum by participating in the March 30 protest. State Rep. Gloria Johnson, who also took part in the protest, was subjected to an expulsion vote but not enough members supported it.
