Make no mistake, the “mostly peaceful” riots at the Tennessee Capitol last week under the guise of “gun safety” activism were all about power — organized and led by some well-heeled Generation Z groups with a pipeline to the Democrat-controlled White House.
On cue, March For Our Lives and Gen-Z for Change called up a liberal army of protesters, helping again to turn a tragic event into a political circus. Both groups were front and center for the left’s main event that saw far-left State Representatives Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) expelled from office for conspiring to lead a riot during a House session. Jones used a bullhorn to actively incite the rioters, calling for sweeping gun control legislation. State Representative Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville) narrowly escaped expulsion. Despite her House colleagues voting overwhelmingly to expel her (the vote was 65-30), a supermajority of 66 votes is required for expulsion.
