Tennessee GOP faces backlash over expulsion vote and bigotry accusations.

Leaked audio from a House GOP caucus meeting on Monday revealed that high-ranking GOP leaders expressed their frustration and hurled accusations at Reps. Jody Barrett, R-Dickson and Bryan Terry, R-Murfreesboro for breaking with the caucus and voting against the expulsion of Rep. Gloria Johnson. The audio also showed significant pressure from GOP leadership to toe the party line. Republican leadership spent this week working to portray a united front and move forward from a historic double expulsion vote that thrust Democrats into a national spotlight and drew nationwide criticism of Tennessee House Republicans.
