"Nashville Lawmaker Justin Jones Reinstated and Calls for Speaker's Resignation Amid Tennessee House Tiff"

Reinstated Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of two Black Democratic lawmakers expelled from the GOP-controlled legislature last week for leading a gun-control protest in the capitol, called for the Republican speaker of the statehouse, Cameron Sexton, to resign, calling him an "enemy of democracy." Jones and another Black Democrat, Justin Pearson, were removed from the legislature in dramatic votes decried as voter disenfranchisement and voter suppression by Democrats. Special elections will be held for Jones and Pearson's seats in the coming months.
