Just when you thought #Republicans couldn't get any dumber, they do this...

#TennesseeRepublicans, desperate to do anything other than improve the lives of their constituents, have latched onto yet another absurd and definitively debunked #conspiracyTheory. This time, they won't be helping their people so they can instead focus all their attention on preventing "#chemtrails", which literally don't exist. 🤦‍♂️✈️

#cspanwj Southerners say that the South has changed since the Civil War, since reconstruction, since Jim Crow. Given that the entire Republican caucus in the Tennessee House of Representatives voted to expel two black Representatives, I think not. The Confederacy has annexed some northern states, but it's still the Confederacy. White supremacy is still the cornerstone of Southern culture. #tennesse #tennesseerepublicans

This month, Paul Sherrill voted to expel the two black Democratic members of the Tennessee House of Representatives for protesting #gunviolence with students.

We see your racism, #TennesseeRepublicans
