GOP silence member of Tennessee Three again during debate on gun safety

Distinguished University Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University Michael Eric Dyson and Editor-At-Large of The 19th Errin Haines join Ali Velshi - in for Nicolle Wallace - to discuss how Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives voted to prohibit Rep. Justin Jones from speaking and debating on bills for the remainder of the day, a week into the special session that Republican Governor Bill Lee called in reaction to a deadly shooting at an elementary school in Nashville in March.

The Tennessee three is a thorn in their side lol but I know for a fact that they will create a multiracial and multigenerational coalition that will change the state legislature

[bsingu]

Hopefully there will be enough people to vote the GOP out of TN

[lindalindahl]

What is wrong with Tennessee?? So undemocratic. The people of Tennessee should vote these people out and vote in some sensible, honest and willing to work for all the people of the state.

[danieljoseph]

Keep fighting mr. Jones our country is worth it fight the fight. And you are a good American thank you mr. Jones

[AliaStation]

The two Justin’s need more national attention. They are the best leaders in the country right now. Give them and their fight more coverage!

[anghusmorgenholz]

Stay strong Rep.Jones they are terrified of you. You are speaking for the people.

[artvanderlay]

Let Tennessee be a reminder of what you will see throughout the Country if you allow lunatics like Trump or DeSantis into the Whitehouse.

[atpeece]

My brave young brother, thank you for keeping up the pressure. 💗Your words matter and need to be heard. SHINE ON!

[hemihead]

It's as if the GOP don't want people in government that work for the people.

[Lori-]

Tennessee GOP is addicted to ego, power & bigotry! 🤬

[iwantabetterworld]

Even this reporting glorifies it and why aren't more people standing up against racism in this country. People are the same inside and there are good and bad in different races no matter who. We know good people in every race and we need to stand up as a unit against anyone being victimized by racism. See something, hear something, speak up and say something. Racism is wrong, disgusting, horrific and lies.

[kisha]

The GOP can't stop or silence this man! They think it's the 1950s, but it ain't!

[deborahbrown]

As a Tennessean, this is ridiculous to see happening. Our children deserve so much more than this. We need common sense gun laws.

[wendyhack]

We need to let our young people decide the country they want for the future and the old guys need to step aside.

[deborahfreedman]

I guess Tennessee Republicans want to give the Justins even more national coverage.

[lazersly]

This is getting ridiculous. VOTE OUT THE GOP

[shehulking]

They're so scared of him. They should be.

[TruthrConsequences]

The Tennessee Republican majority in the statehouse, has defended the KKK, slavery, and the silencing of dissent using State Troopers in violation of LAW!

[dawnadriana]

No BLUE STATE support until Tennessee addresses this racism. I hate that my money goes to support a Red state who cannot support themselves, yet continue to attack other Americans' rights. NO SUPPORT FOR RACISTS.

[robertward]

I respect that young man. I hope he stays unjaded and uncorruptible. Tennessee and the country has an unpolished gem in him.
