The Amplified Rage of Tennessee's Expulsion of Lawmakers.

Two black Democratic lawmakers were expelled from the Republican-controlled Tennessee House of Representatives for disrupting deliberations in the chamber to lead a gun control protest, while a white Democratic lawmaker was spared. Republican Rep. Brian Richey denied that race was a factor in the decision, stating that one of the legislators expelled "wanted to be kicked out." Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Nashville to show support for the expelled lawmakers, as national Democrats used the expulsions as a rallying cry for gun violence prevention measures and racial equality.
