Thousands of Christians have signed an online petition by Faithful America demanding Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton's resignation. The outrage comes as a response to Sexton organizing a vote last week that expelled two Democrat Tennessee lawmakers from the House. The lawmakers—Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson—spoke out of turn when they supported a youth-led protest calling for gun control following the shooting at a Nashville elementary school last month that left three students and three adults dead. Representative Gloria Johnson also spoke out of turn to participate in the protest. Tennessee Republican lawmakers have been accused of racism after they expelled Jones and Pearson, both Black men, but by one vote, Johnson, who is white, was able to keep her seat. The "Tennessee Three" went viral for their actions. After the House voted to expel Jones and Pearson, dozens of faith officials in the community held a press conference, followed by a "nonviolent clergy sit-in" at Sexton's office, according to the petition. The petition alleges that Sexton acted with racist intentions when he called for the House vote to expel the lawmakers, considering that Johnson wasn't expelled, but Jones and Pearson were. The petition alleges that Sexton accusing the lawmakers of "insurrection" was a lie to "undermine democracy, silence his Black and progressive opponents, and distract from demands for gun reform."

There is so much garbage in this article, that it’s hard to read. As expected, the ones leading the disturbances are now the heroes, and those wanting order are the racist villains.
I hate what this world has become and how the media predictably spins every story to reflect its own leftward agenda.
