NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Three members of the Democratic Party may face an expulsion vote this evening following their interruption on the House floor Thursday afternoon.

Reps. Gloria Johnson (Knoxville), Justin Jones (Nashville) and Justin Pearson (Memphis) walked up to the well of the House during their Thursday session, violating rules of decorum in the chamber. The move has since been characterized by Republican lawmakers as an “insurrection,” including Speaker Cameron Sexton (R—Crossville).

On Monday afternoon, just after Gov. Bill Lee announced a three-pronged approach to bolstering school safety that included $140 million for public schools to hire SROs but no mention of any gun law reform, Johnson, Jones and Pearson held a press conference debunking the insurrection claims spread by their colleagues across the aisle.
