Republicans once again show they are the party of racists.
Nashville council to reinstate ousted Tennessee lawmaker
NASHVILLE, TN – Exiled Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones is expected to be reinstated Monday after a Republican supermajority booted him from the state Legislature last week for participating in a gun safety protest inside the chamber.
The Nashville Metro Council is voting Monday afternoon to temporarily fill the seat before a special election. It’s anticipated that Jones, 27, will earn enough votes from council members to regain his former seat. The Black freshman lawmaker is planning to then lead a march to the statehouse and return to work just as the Legislature gavels in for an evening session.
Jones has been reinstated. But let me get right to the point.
This racist bs is why blacks do not vote Republican. It is why blacks don't join the republican party. It is why blacks who are Republican get dissed. Party of Lincoln? Yeah, the Lincoln who wanted to ship blacks out of the country. If the Republican party was so non-racist, they would condemn this. We have yet to hear any Republican leader denouncing this. Where is Tim Scott? He's supposedly running for president in the Republican Party. You right-wingers talk ---- about democratic plantations and liberal masters, but look at the silence of black republicans to understand just exactly who are the blacks on the plantation doing what massa tells them.
