You can really tell a lot about the intelligence level of a country's people just by the leaders that they vote for huh !

Everytime I hear this man speak I get goosebumps. The two Justin from Tennessee getting thrown out of the legislature is absolutely bringing a spotlight on Tennessee and it's not a good light! And the fact that out of three members they were trying to expel, the one that didn't get expelled was white. How do you say we're racist and will not support our democracy or our constitution without saying you're racist and will not support our democracy or Constitution? Apparently the Republicans in the Tennessee legislature know how to do that. I hope they realize they're probably saying goodbye to their jobs as well as any peace in their own lives. I'm not talkin disruption in the peace like on January 6th. I'm talking about the voters in Tennessee peacefully protesting but very loudly outside every members business and house. It's called a constitutionally-protected right and I hope the people in Tennessee exercise it!
