In Nashville, Capitol Tantrums Come With a Bill — and Tennessee Dems Just Received It


The Tennessee House of Representatives recently witnessed a tumultuous scene on May 7th, as Democratic lawmakers engaged in heated protests over the ongoing redistricting debate. Their actions, which reportedly included confrontations with state troopers, have drawn widespread attention.

In response to these disruptions, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, has taken decisive action by removing the committee assignments of the involved Democratic legislators. This move underscores a clear message: the House chamber is a place for legislative work, not a venue for personal protests or disorderly rallies.

Speaker Sexton’s letter to House Democratic Leader Karen Camper emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated in the future. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and differing perspectives on what is considered acceptable conduct within the legislative process.

The message: the House is not your personal protest space, and you don’t get to just turn it into another out-of-control, unhinged rally whenever the mood suits you.

Sexton’s letter on Tuesday put House Democratic Leader Karen Camper on notice that such shenanigans will not be tolerated. This is what Democrats think is normal behavior these days:

The letter cited several incidents, including:

  • Interlocking arms in the well of the House
  • Blocking aisles on the House floor
  • Encouraging disruptions with protesters and attendees in the gallery
  • The use of prohibited props and noisemakers
  • “Flagrant disregard” for House rules

Sexton also alleged members distributed earplugs to another Democratic lawmaker during the demonstrations.

The Postscript to the Tennessee Democrat Redistricting Meltdowns Is Just Chef’s Kiss


State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), who, as we reported, was one of the worst of the worst when it came to delinquent behavior, is already crying and charging “racism!” because to him, that’s at the heart of almost every issue.

Cry harder. Or, just try behaving like an adult next time.

What were they so upset about? Our Becky Noble reported on the battle as it unfolded in early May:

Since the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming that racial gerrymandering of congressional districts is unconstitutional, many states with a majority of Republican districts have decided to play by the same rules the Democrats have long played by and redraw their maps, eliminating districts held by Democrats. The latest to do so is Tennessee, where, on Wednesday, Tennessee Republicans released a newly proposed congressional map. The new map would eliminate the state’s sole Democratic district.

The legislature quickly approved the new map, and GOP Gov. Bill Lee signed it into law on May 7. The Democrats, obviously, were incensed, even though they were big-time cheerleaders for Virginia’s crazy redistricting scheme, which the state Supreme Court ruled was in violation of Virginia’s Constitution, and California’s power grab with Prop. 50, a successful ballot measure that many pundits believe shredded the Golden State’s own constitution.

The Democrats keep starting many of these redistricting fights ­— only to freak out when they lose. RedState’s Susie Moore just reported on yet another GOP win Tuesday:

Look on the bright side, Tennessee House Dems: many of you will have a lot more time on your hands to go out and protest ICE or scream “Jim Crow 2.0!” or whatever floats your boat.

What you won’t be doing for the time being is serving on committees. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
