Justin Pearson, a democratic in Tennessee, who was expelled by his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives for their protest against weapons violence in the Capitol building in the state, to his seat at Tennessee’s house on Wednesday.
The Silby County Council voted unanimously to return Pearson to the House of Representatives in a decisive reprimand for Tennessee’s move to the extraordinary Republican Party to expel him, along with another democratic colleague, last week.
Person delivered a strong speech immediately after voting on a re -vote, and mobilized his supporters and sent a message to the legislators who voted to expel him.
“What we showed here in Shilby County, what we showed here in Memphis, Tennessee, with my fiancé, my brothers, my family, my father, my family here, is that we are not talking alone.” “We are talking together. We are fighting together.
He said to a spirit: “Thus, the message of all people in Nashville who decided to expel us: You cannot expel hope. You cannot expel justice. You can’t expel our voice. You can certainly not expel our battle.”
“We look forward to continuing to fight, and continue to defense, until justice is rolled like water and righteousness like a constantly flowing current,” Person continued. “Let’s go back to work.”
On Thursday morning, the 28 -year -old legislator took the constitutional oath outside the government building.
Person, which represents the Memphis region and another democracy, Justin Jones, who represents Nashville, was expelled from the House of Representatives on Thursday because of his protest against weapons violence after three of the 9 -year -old children and three adults were killed in another group shooting in Tennessee. Representative Gloria Johnson, the Democrat, who also participated in the protest, escaped his expulsion with one vote. Pearson and Jones are the black youth who spend his first term at home; Johnson is a white woman in her fourth term.
The Republicans accused them of wrong violation of the decoration at home by protesting in peace, and the Speaker of Parliament Cameron Sixon went further to distort their actions to the violent rebellion on January 6, despite the absence of violence, no damage to property, and no arrests.
Jones was returned to his seat by the Capital Council in Nashville and Davidson Province on Monday. Surrounded by Jones, surrounded by a group of supporters, returned to the state’s home and divided his position on the steps of the Capitol.
