'Let's be clear—Republican extremists in the Tennessee legislature want to silence the voices of dead children,' said RevDrBarber amid GOP efforts to oust brotherjones_, VoteGloriaJ, and Justinjpearson over their guncontrol protest.
;“The blood of murdered children cries out for us, and extremist #TN Republicans are content to ignore them. This is beyond shameful. It is sinful. We must stand not just for @brotherjones_ , @VoteGloriaJ & @justinjpearson as individuals, but as voices of the people they represent.;”"It's very concerning and it represents a clear and present danger to democracy all across this nation that should trouble us all," Jones added.
"It was really just about 20 seconds of us talking at the mic before it was cut and before recess was called," she added."Never in a million years did we imagine that they would try to expel members in the body for speaking for their constituents when we had not been allowed to do that previously in the day."
;“Horrified to see my friend & former intern @brotherjones_ threatened with removal from public office.\n\nThe reason? Not for inciting an insurrection or paying someone off with campaign funds, but for protesting the weapons responsible for killing children.\n\nThis is NOT democracy.;”
