Republican leaders of Tennessee's House of Representatives stripped Democrat Rep. Gloria Johnson of her committee assignments

They’re retaliating for her peaceful participation in last week’s demonstration for gun reform which took place after the massacre at The Covenant School

Fascism.

@flexghost Hear me out ... Tennessee allows guns to be carried inside the state Capitol, but not protest signs. What would the Republican legislators do if the protestors laid down their signs and walked inside armed?

Tennessee lawmakers to allow guns but prohibit 'hand-carried signs' in new building

The policy, which Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, and House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, approved Dec. 14, expressly prohibits “hand-carried signs and signs on hand sticks” because they “represent a serious safety hazard.”

@Sameagle protest signs are sharp!!! 4 corners AT A MINIMUM

How many sharp corners does a handgun have?
