1. TN GOP leadership: we can't do this -- our racism will be out in the open n/t

[malaise]

2. Off to the greatest page

Bwaaaaaah😀😀

[Effete Snob]

3. Disgusting

[aocommunalpunch]

4. So, Cepicky has been called

A misogynist and a racist his whole life? Did I get that admission right?

[Baitball Blogger]

5. As far as I can tell, someone strategically

Wanted to vote out all three in order not to look racist, and a few voted in favor of Gloria, bucking the majority, because all she did was stand in the well of the floor.

What scares me is that they’re trying to reign in independent thinkers.

[Docreed2003]

15. That's exactly right

They're pissed about being "hung out to dry" because their plan to not look racist was to boot all three

[OrlandoDem2]

6. Since they hate being called racist and misogynistic, it would be a shame if we flood their emails

and tell them how racist and misogynistic they are.

[Trueblue Texan]

23. And point out how racists and misogynists seldom recognize ...

...these traits in themselves. Not that they care one way or the other. They'll just assume you're the enemy Democrat they've all been warned of.

[RAB910]

7. These people are pure EVIL. They don't even bother to hide that they are a threat to our nation and

our freedoms

[Pyotr Kropotkin]

8. The War

Thirst is strong with these individuals. The obscene obsession with grotesque violence in speech really is a self report, isn't it?

[2naSalit]

10. Very much so.

Welcome to DU!

[onecaliberal]

11. They don't feel the need to hide their true selves.

[Probatim]

30. Not any more - letting their fuck you flags fly.

[Eliot Rosewater]

35. I just hope law enforcement and local authorities will do the right thing when, not if, cons

start killing patriots. I wouldnt be surprised if they started killing actual reps.

[calimary]

32. Welcome to DU, Pyotr Kropotkin!

Yes. You’re quite correct. Thirst. And hunger for power.

[marble falls]

38. Welcome! Mikail Bakunin sends his regards.

[Freethinker65]

9. We were fucking lazy so just accused all three of doing the same thing and expected no pushback

Fucking lazy ass Republicans pushing through expulsions with alternative facts on the floor and only one Republican was brave enough to call them out.

We had 75 yes men to vote yes regardless of defense presented. Fuck the GOP. This Barrett guy should go independent.

[OnDoutside]

19. Barrett is as bad as the rest of them. His only argument was they didn't let him build their "case"

against Gloria Johnson.

[dalton99a]

12. "There are 75 of us."

They don't give a shit

[Docreed2003]

16. Exactly

[FSogol]

13. LOL, they're at war with the voters in their state.

The GOP are dumb-asses, each and every one of them.

[JanLip]

14. They have brought shame

To the whole state. This is so embarrassing. I love my state. There are lots of democrats that vote every election. Me included. They are actually saying they want only republicans in our state house. One party rule. These men are despicable. They want all the power. They expel the two Justins and say they’re not racist. Bull crap! This recording needs to be broadcast everywhere. If this recording doesn’t change minds nothing will. I am so angry I could spit nails. Gotta cool off or may explode

Jan democrat in Tennessee and proud of it!!!!

[everyonematters]

17. Well, that's typical of todays racists.

They do something racist and get angry because they are called racists. The people they were really after were the two black reps. None of them deserved to be expelled. If they had expelled all three, I don't think the public reaction would have been much different.

[LeftinOH]

18. "Democrats are not our friends"..then "we need to pass a pronoun bill."

also "I've never been called a racist before" - which means he's never been in a position to be called out for his crap before.

[canuckledragger]

34. Nah...

It just means the racist is lying again. He's been called out plenty of times...which is why he tried to hide his racism with this stunt.

[OnDoutside]

20. The really interesting thing is who leaked the audio ? !!!

[Kali]

31. this!

[oldsoftie]

22. All they succeeded in doing was gift the Dems new heroes.

Yes, they broke the rules. So they could've censured them or taken them off a committee or whatever. It would've made the news 1-2 days. But NOPE, they HAD to show their asses & vote to expel. And especially after the one Rep pointed out all the criminals in there who HADNT been expelled, they should've seen what would come of it.And now both guys are right back in the Chamber!
TOTALLY stupid political move.

[progressoid]

24. They keep saying Democrats are destroying the republic. How exactly are we destroying the republic?

[crickets]

37. Exactly. Their whole line of reasoning is bizarre.

"You gotta do what's right, even if you think it might be wrong." WTH does that even mean?

It blows my mind that (apparently) they actually believe their own echo chamber BS. Good job to whoever recorded and released the recording. Wow.

[cab67]

25. "They called us racists! Know what we need to do?"

"Prove it!"

[LiberalFighter]

26. They claim they are not when they are.

Which is why I don't patronize any business claiming to be a christian business. If they feel they need to do that then likely they are a shady business.

[Goodheart]

27. "We need to pass the pronouns bill. "

"Man, we do not slow down because of their crap."

The perspective that protecting pronouns is more important than protecting free speech and representation is just simply... Republican.

[bpj62]

28. Very Dangerous

Cepicky is very clear that he feels that Democrats are a threat to this nation. His comment about his dad landing at D-Day+4 is laughable because his father fought to end fascism which is the very thing that the Republican Party is trying to create in this country. As one of them said they have 75 members which is basically saying we can and will do what we want. Let's be clear they are racist and they are misogynistic. This recording is going to do alit of damage but ultimately only the people of Tennessee can fix the disaster that they have created in the statehouse.

[llashram]

29. can't stand racist pigs

and they are oinking it out here.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

33. KR NT

[mucifer]

36. i heard it different than you guys i think the repubs released this to look less racist.

I did not hear what people on the thread did.

[live love laugh]

39. Sounds contrived.

[BComplex]

40. Authoritarian much? Demanding that people vote HOW THEY ARE TOLD, as opposed to how they

know is right. As a group, as a caucus, they are not ALLOWED to think. Definitely not think things through for themselves. It's either toe the line 100% or go find another job. They demand stupid conformity from their sheep.
