“Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor ‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’”

A GOP rep peed in a colleague’s chair.😐️ No expulsion.

@sonyasteele

In 2019 a GOP rep confessed on tape to child molestation. Instead of expelling him, or even sanctioning him in some other way, they rewarded him by putting him in charge of the schools.

They aren't just indifferent to the welfare of kids, they see hurting kids as a part of their political remit.
