Justin Pearson of Memphis could potentially be removed from office on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Tenn.) received a 65-30 majority in the vote on rules infractions. A two-thirds majority is required for expulsion from the House. Jones received a 72\u201325 split vote from both parties.<\/p>\n<p>As lawmakers prepared to consider three resolutions submitted by GOP lawmakers seeking to expel Jones of Nashville, Johnson of Knoxville, and Pearson of Memphis, protesters descended upon the state Capitol on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his expulsion, Jones gave a speech addressing his colleagues.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThere comes a time where people get sick and tired of being sick and tired,\u201d Jones said in a speech prior to a vote on his expulsion. \u201cAnd so, my colleagues, I say that what we did was act in our responsibility as legislators to serve and give voice to the grievances of people who have been silenced. We called for you all to ban assault weapons, and you respond with an assault on democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After two hours of discussion, Jones cast his vote after responding to inquiries about his participation in the demonstration last Thursday. After roughly an hour and a half of deliberation, Johnson cast his vote.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrat Caucus Press Secretary Cameron Sexton had stripped the trio of all their committee and subcommittee assignments and called their actions \u201cdisorderly behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In effect, those actions took away the voices of the protestors, the focus on the six victims who lost their lives, and the families who lost their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Speaker Cameron Sexton (@CSexton25) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CSexton25\/status\/1642931955938344988?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 3, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" async data-cmplz-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n        <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Last week, the trio of Democratic lawmakers chanted back and forth from the chamber floor with gun-control supporters packed in the gallery.
