One of two Tennessee Democrats who were expelled from the state House by Republican colleagues over gun protests used his final floor remarks to call out other members of the chamber who went unpunished for more extreme conduct - including an “admitted child molester.”
Justin Jones, 27, and two Democratic colleagues Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson were targeted in an expulsion resolution in the Republican-controlled House on Thursday night. Both Mr Jones and Mr Pearson were ousted with two-thirds in favour of the resolution, while Ms Johnson survived the vote.
