Tennessee GOP expels two Democratic state lawmakers over gun control protest

The Tennessee Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to expel two out of three Democrats who led a gun reform protest on the state House floor after a shooter killed six people, including three children, at the Covenant School in Nashville. Gloria Johnson survived the Republicans’ efforts by just one vote. Justin Jones is one of the Democratic lawmakers who was expelled from the Tennessee State House. He tells Anderson Cooper the vote was a way to “distract from the real issue” and what he plans to do in the future.
