We can't allow Jan 6 to become some sort of example for behavior in our legislative halls.
This has been going on much longer than Jan 6. This happened during Scott Walker's administration in Madison, and everyone shrugged - mostly peaceful protest, don'tcha know.
I'm glad they're making it a FAFO moment. Rules is rules.

This is my week for discovering that I don't know as much as I thought I knew.
Forget what I said.

An answerable question. Someone(s) voted to expel the two without voting to expel the third. What were their reasons?
They came up one vote short on the white gal. If they were going to chunk them, chunk all three.

Yeah, that's a bad look, to be sure, unless her behavior was "less bad" than the others'.

@Axtremus you noticed, LOL.
And Barry doubles down:
"What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress."

@Mik did you notice she didn't visit the families of the victims? She wrapped herself in their bloody bandages to score political points.
Certain words leap to my mind.
Understandably because of polite company,
None of them will pass
Through my keyboard.ETA: And she didn't even climb the hobby horse of gun control. Nope, she went to support an insurrection because "democracy."
