Justin Jones was forced to stay quiet for the rest of a session after breaking a new rule. It sparked an angry crowed reaction.
Member of"Tennessee Three" disciplined again by GOP lawmakers, prompting another angry crowd reactionduring an already tense House floor session after determining the young Black member violated newly enacted rules designed to punish disruptive members.
House Speaker Cameron Sexton had warned Jones not to stray off topic. Under new rules adopted by the GOP-dominated chamber last week, members can be silenced anywhere from a day to the rest of the year for not sticking to the bill being debated. What happened next was a chaotic flurry of legislative proceedings in which Democrats outraged at the decision to move ahead with trying to silence Jones for the day began pleading with and trying to convince their GOP colleagues to change their minds. Republican lawmakers remained unconvinced, however, with 70 GOP members voting to silence Jones. Democratic members then angrily left the chamber with Jones.
