Tennessee lawmakers expel colleagues over gun protest.

TL;DR Summary
Two Democratic lawmakers have been expelled from the Republican-controlled Tennessee state House of Representatives for participating in a gun control protest at the state Capitol last week. This marks the first partisan expulsion in the state's modern history. The lawmakers were accused of violating the chamber's rules of decorum by leading chants with a megaphone and standing at the well of the House chambers during the protest. One Democratic lawmaker was allowed to stay. President Joe Biden called the move "shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent."
