- GOP House Rep. Bryan Richey explains his decision to expel Democratic lawmakers in Tennessee. He says the explosion wasn’t the right thing but says what the three Democratic representative did was “horrible.” #CNN #News
I wouldn't want the safety of my children in the hands of this guy
HE’S my representative and I am ANGRY - he’s lied when I’ve called him on the line on several issues. He has blocked messages on FB . He WILL BE HEARING FROM ME TOMORROW I’m 😡😡ANGRY!
Amen!
It is.
Educational safety as well. These Jim Crow Republicans consistently try to be disingenuous to try and dodge admitting who they really are. Listening to this guy he's another one who can't tell the difference between a gun and his penis.
Why not warnings or suspensions? Instead they seemed to be looking for a way to get rid of them.
They WERE warned, and asked to desist repeatedly. MSM is not releasing full video due to their agenda.
Exactly and their method means the voters right was taken away. The Tennessee legislature defied democracy and the right to vote. He should have been repremanded but not his dem seat stolen. No one will forget this act against democracy in TENNESSEE.
That's exactly what this was!
Good, as I understand it, they are in favor of denying citizens of their 2nd amendment rights!
Not warnings or suspensions, Because "suppressing uppity" is a concept in their toolkit.
If you watch the speech by one of the expelled .. I can't remember if his last name is Jones .. the dude with the big afro, talk after being talked-down to by his legislative colleagues, he's making the point that you know it's not appropriate to be talked to by anyone in the way that they were now being talked to, during this expulsion process.
So to me it really feels like it's a civil rights issue masquerading as an intolerance and a desire to hyper fixate on black men.
The Tennessee legislature is really banking on thinking the rest of the world is dumber than they are. 😂
Not sure on your view. I would assume your into the woke side of things. These men made a mockery of a long standing tradition. This isnt a country of do what you want even at government assembly level. Nonsense snd not to be tolerated. Respect especially as an official is an obligation.
@@vmac8200 “A long standing tradition”…ok, got it. 👍
@@vmac8200 trump threw respect out the window .

@@vmac8200 When did urinating on someone else's chair, bribery, sexual assault become "a long standing tradition" in TN?
Until it happens to their children it won't ever matter to these officials around the country.
school shooting arent as common as you think
The Kentucky Governor and a senator were pretty upset about the recent bank shooting... but it was because they were close friends with the VP of the bank. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said Elliott was one of his closest friends. "Tommy Elliot helped me … to become governor," Mr Beshear said at Monday’s news conference.
So when it's vice presidents and managers of banks, gun violence is awful. When it's children, gun violence is "unavoidable".
Unless you in the shoes of someone else, be it a single mom, a homeless person, on Medicaid, transgender, keep you mouth shut and learn before you blare out your indoctrination or programed prejudices.
"well, we homeschool our kids"
_Fuck_ that man. And I pray he learns why that is wrong _without_ the appropriate lesson.
Amen!!
Love it when you call them out on their lies and nonsense.
Republicans are liars and evil. Republicans should be voted out and be replace by democrats, members of constitution party and other parties of United States.
There was much more calling out that could have been done.
There was much more calling out that SHOULD HAVE been done.
Jake asks a very good question isn't fraud and sexual abuse worse than defending dead kids, just shows the disconnect in America.
When you consider that 100 million people have been killed by their own government just in the last century, and that one of the primary things that the second amendment does this, tries to prevent the government from rounding up people, and putting them in prison and killing them, which they’ve already started to do in some cases in this country, where you see somebody get four years in jail without due process for protesting a election, he believes was crooked, we absolutely need the second amendment now more than ever.
Just because the Chinese and the Russians and the Germans and the Japanese et al. Kill people in concentration camps instead of in the light of day, is no reason to ignore this primary source of murder.
You know the drill . Its Tennessee
@@myronsmith2114 It doesn't matter what the state is. Raising The Fist and using a bullhorn is NOT what state representatives do in the chamber.
He presented a Constitutional argument in regards to their actions.
What constitutional argument can you reference about the US Constitution in regards to Trump's extra-marital affair and personal tax issues?
For the record...
1. The inner cities like Nashville and Memphis have the highest crime rates. Unregistered gun owners.
2. The culprit of the school shooting was a transgender female. Why is this a taboo?
3. Both representatives were in Congress, why didn't they just introduce and draw up a Bill to address Gun Reform?
4. Both Representatives voted against school safety.
They're simply the Reverend Al Sharptons of Tennessee.
Lets just call a spade a spade.
Dead kids like the ones shot by the trans in Nashville?
They did not expel a CHILD MOLESTER. They did not expel a vile person who peed on someone chair. They have NO Idea how bad this is going to go for them. They will never live this down.
So apparently a duly elected representative in Tennessee can be removed for exercising their first amendment right to free speech as part of their government job? Sounds like the Tennessee house needs to re-read the first amendment.
That's one reason to leave that state. I did
The "Regressives" do not need to read it as much as they need it printed out in large bold print - 8X17 or so and then after reading it need it shoved up the back side followed by a hose from an over sized enema bag so as to get the flow going and the BS out of their bodies.
Appears that so so many members of the Ultra MAGA Regressive party are suffering from severe long term constipation issues which is causing their bodies more so every day to use their mouths as pressure relief valves - hence all the constant BS that comes out!
No..its apparently some cultures still dont know the different between speech and antics. Antics are not allowed...and being loud is never a positive. Its a cultural thing that continues to be misunderstood by those using it
@@vmac8200 "Some cultures still don't know the different between speech and antics", wow, our country's so racist that it honestly surprises me how people like you just speak not knowing how racist you sound lmao. Antics are not allowed? Not only are these not antics, why would a bunch of people being loud about something that matters bother you more than the thing that matters? You one of these gun hugging pussies who can't defend himself or his family without a firearm?
C'mon now. You know that piece of toilet paper called the constitution was written for white men only. Not white women. Not Spanish men or women. Not Asian men or women. Definitely not African men or women. So let's not talk like the first amendment means anything other than having a couple extra roles of Charmin lying around. Need a wipe?
To Republicans: Is it okay to stage an insurrection but not a protest?
I saw an insurrection in Tennessee. Clearly worse than the civil war, Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
That is the message they have sent as a party. Republicans still are carrying on the Big Lie
"Republicans: If it's the right-wing that do the insurrection, that's ok. If the other side does anything we can use as political games we will."
I mean, they may as well just openly say that now, as their actions are showing it loud and clear.

LMAO, comparing Jones to King is fucking laughable.
And this older folk is tired of hearing the same old same old for 60+ years! Things have changed for you but you still want more. When will you be satisfied?

@@JediOfTheRepublic think not...the great appear ....
What these guys don’t get is that they really need to be listening to people. Whether it is about gun control or the fact that people see this as racism, all they do is dismiss it as “nonsense.” They are very arrogant and disrespectful.
Actions speak louder than words. It’s clear he thinks just because he says it everyone believes his bs. I don’t believe a word he says.

In other words: "I voted to kick him out because I got my feelings hurt."
Yeah, the whites on the legislature were emotional and used to have complete control. They acted without thinking and got destroyed.
Democrats are the problem, Democrats are the ones doing all the shootings, I'm sure he/ she/ it was a confused donkey
Did he really just get on national tv and LIE on Justin Jones?? Trust me, Justin doesn’t give a damn about photo ops or growing following. He’s really about the people!
Literally the things that I am concerned about, all I ever hear the GOP say is "that's political nonsense" they are so out of touch it's insane!!!
As a Tennessean and a resident of Nashville, the TN GOP really have no idea how badly they stepped in it. It's hilarious how they are trying to downplay and rewrite the narrative. You will pay for this, TN GOP. Millennials and Gen Z will not forget this, and we will never vote for you.

I can only imagine how offended this guy must have been when MTG and other republicans heckled Joe Biden during the State of the Union.
Reminds me of Pelosis tearing up the state of the union papers when Trump was in.😄😄
I didn’t notice she had a megaphone and was asked to stop repeatedly or they would kick her out. It’s almost like those 2 events were different.
N.James, some people have a big problem when the President lies to their face. I know that's hard for your liberal anti-logic mind to comprehend.
The difference is Biden doesn't get his feelings hurt as easily as the TN GOP snowflakes.
That's a false equivalency and a whataboutism. Double whammy ❄❄
Wait, I'm confused
They are being expelled for their protest or are they being expelled for being animated?
They where expelled because they're black.
Wow…you can see right through that story! I like the part when he said he had an office next to the expel representative and he told he wanted to get expelled b/c it would make his crowd following bigger. However, he didn’t vote to expel the two black representatives. He also said it wasn’t true about their color their clean made a difference. The dude said the video showed the white representative only stood there. Wow…I am not sure if he knew that the world is watching and we see him and his super majority friends. We know what you are doing and who you represent and it’s not the children….NRA members and you should have wore yours NRA cap. SMDH
Brian Ritchie's interview should be in the dictionary to describe gaslighting.
If the two young men were animated and she wasn’t why even bother putting her up for expulsion? I’m not convinced by his answer.
The question is why were any of them put up for expulsion. The question is why were any of them.
Tennessee has to be the capital of knuckle draggers in this country!
Yes, if you are more quiet and also white they will allow it.
That was the TNGOP telling her to shut up and sit down. She was spared by just one No vote.

I don't think those dead kids are worried you got hurt by the representative was a little loud.
These lawmakers’ constituents marched peacefully on the legislature to demand action to prevent gun violence. Their representatives tried to speak for their constituents and their microphones were turned off - they were literally silenced - so a protester handed them a megaphone. No one was attacked, no one tried to overthrow the government, no one wore masks, body armor and semiautomatic rifles unlike in Michigan. The laws the T3 voted against were going to put more guns in schools. This is just fascism - negating the ability of opponents to speak - and with fascism, a nice helping of racism is traditional.
He can say what he wants. But what it looks like is what is really up.

@@Yankeepride03
Of course, because you can't have any view on what happened at a place before you came there. The past is irrelevant. Very convenient for people like you who don't need a good excuse but an excuse when needed. You wouldn't accept it from a perceived opponent but a friend, sure, that'll do.
Do they idiots really expect us to believe they broke decorum rules? It's just sickening
Well, they literally DID break decorum rules. That's not even up for debate. The controversy is the GOP reaction to them breaking decorum rules, which I agree is sickening. They easily could have chosen a path less severe than expulsion, and it is extremely obvious that this is a fascist and racist power grab. This is especially egregious when viewed in the context that these 3 legislators' mics had apparently been cut off repeatedly. If they can't speak with their mic, how else are their voices supposed to be heard unless they go to the well?
Insurrectionists should face consequences. Simple as that
You must mean the insurrectionists that stormed the Capital with weapons and threatened and injured and killed people.
Biden is a pedophile. Trump derangement has u morons needing a hug constantly
@@josephsmith4161 so all the BLM protestors and there violence against other blacks in the name of white cops right. I agree.
The GOP in Tennessee seems very perplexed with the situation they created with their mastery of fascism.
Richey, "We are all deeply saddened, ..so saddened, in fact, that we won't do anything meaningful about gun violence."
Guarantee you that's not the first time there has been a "disruption" on the House floor..... Ludicrous to expel for this when there's ACTUAL criminal behaviour that goes unchecked from their own people.
That's a straw man. Those people should get due process. If they are convicted THEN they face the just consequences. The expelled lawmakers got due process. US congress has a slush fund for paying off their sex crimes. Do you care about that? Why don't we stop arguing and get all the criminal republican AND democrat scumbags out and put them in prison.
@Adam Fontenet it wasn't an insurrection. Stop trying to change definitions, Fascist.
@Adam Fontenet explain who was being overthrown violently
@Adam Fontenet Yes, an insurrection is a big deal. 3 people standing on the House floor DURING RECESS IN A CHAMBER WHERE THEY SERVE trying to call out gun violence is NOT an insurrection, and is NOT a big deal. That's the 1st amendment in action.
FYI, Jesus, if he existed, would have been Middle Eastern.
@Adam Fontenet An insurrection requires an attempt to overthrow the sitting government in favor of an illegal one. This crowd was protesting gun laws (or the lack thereof), and made no move to oust members of the chamber, threaten them, annul their elections, or even block the activities of the chamber beyond the immediate duration of their protest.
So no, it was in no way an 'insurrection'. Your claim to the contrary indicates that you have no idea what an insurrection is, or what the laws around it entail.
Bryan Richey: "That's complete nonsense..."
translation, "you are absolutely right, I just can't admit that to you publicly."
Someone you don't agree with should put some words in your mouth and pretend they know what you think and how you feel
@@josephwilliams7995 durrr okeee. Saying something is "complete nonsense" is dishonest use of the term. There is actual sense and precedent for the allegation proven by current and former house members, staff reporters, former investigations, and evidence by recordings, texts, and other correspondence. Saying otherwise is to be not telling the actual truth because of proven track record in the TN house of vindictive retribution.
@@josephwilliams7995 Dawg given the context and outcome of the situation, you can definitely read deeper into a situation. Example, if you were to take to social media and said something along the lines of “There needs to be better pay where I work” and then you suddenly end up fired, they say you violated company policy by putting hateful and disorderly speech on social media that badly reflects the company, although you can’t put words into your employers mouth you can definitely put 2 and 2 together that it’s not what they said it was and it was for another reason they don’t wanna get sued for.
If you honestly think this wasn’t blatant persecution for dissent then you need to stop looking at things on a surface level
"What these 3 individuals did was completely horrible"
The GOP - Party of Santos, Trump, Ogles (from Tennessee!) and the attempted overthrow of the US Government on Jan 6th can look the other way on that, but an hour of disruption after children are gunned down led by Black representatives is what crosses the line. Hmmmmm, I wonder what the deciding factor could possibly be...
Is it just me or is this representative saying he only voted to expel one person and that’s because that person asked the lawmaker personally to be expelled for political gain? I’m hearing that right, right? If so the video’s title is incorrect and the interviewer buried the lead. Seems like he’s gotta challenge the lawmaker’s claim or accept it but he basically ignored the most interesting claim. What am I missing?
OMG I don't believe him for a moment.😂😮 They should have been voted out by their constituents
Not by the good old boys club 😮😢
If you Hate White people so much WHY do you try and make your hair look like a white woman ?
The republican party seems to have the attitude that they know what is best for the voters in that district.
On March 9, 1892, a white mob stormed the Memphis jail, seized three Black men held inside, and brutally lynched them without trial.
Earlier that year, these same three Black men-Thomas Moss, Calvin McDowell, and William "Henry" Stewart-opened the People's Grocery Company in Memphis, Tennessee. Located across the street from a white-owned grocery store that had previously had a monopoly in the local Black community, the men's new business reduced the white store's profits. The venture also threatened the racial order by forcing white businessmen to compete economically with Black businessmen.
Good ole boys? You mean the ones who created the modern world.
They were voted out according to the rules. Actions have consequences.
House rules violations never resulted in expulsion in the Tennessee legislature before, only criminal acts. There are many in the legislature whose behavior should be under scrutiny but are not.
Didn’t one guy pee on another members seat?
And NOT even all the the criminal acts resulted in expulsion.
@@gabs7506 Yup.
Even the criminal acts got a pass. One guy pissed in the other's chair, and there was a self-admitted child molester in there too.

Summary of interview: "Would you, as a state representative, support any meaningful legislation that has any potential to reduce gun violence?" "Why, no..... no I would not."
What this representative refuses to acknowledge is how disrespectful to Americans his Republican legislature has been. His desire to Expand gun ownership in light of recent school shootings is reprehensible. They double talk out their mouths to the point of absurdity. I'm conservative and so ashamed of this current batch of politicians. It's been getting worse for twenty years now and they just don't adapt or move forward. So Americans suffer and keep voting idiots into office.

@@pjpredhomme7699 IOW, less than nothing.
this whole interview should be fact checked
Notice that the only thing in this mans background a skull, a symbol to show that he has used a gun to take a life.
Why did he choose that as his background?
This guy is more interested in covering his a$$ than justifying the reason these three reps were unilaterally and swiftly expelled. He knows it’s ridiculous but when pressed on it, he dismisses it as “political nonsense” or hides behind his freshmen status. If you’re a freshmen rep, why are you even agreeing to an on camera interview? And if you don’t want to talk politics, why be a politician? 🙄
Exactly! He just got there himself. He doesn't know enough to speak for the body.
So glad someone said it!
What was funny was he said they disrespected all those who came before him in the house and blah blah blah, but then says he's a freshman and cant speak on those same people who came before him who he claimed he felt they all disrespected. LOL. LIke, clearly they weren't disrespected with worse stuff that happened back then to expel someone and those were criminal lol.
🤔 you may be right
They led a protest to grounds and those protesters then attempted to prevent the movement of those within the grounds. You would never accept this with the political parties switched, yet here you are b*tching and moaning like a petulant little child because the rules apply to your side also.

@@paullazarro4295 I understand the situation all too well, I'm afraid.

I'm disappointed that Jake Tapper didn't question Rep. Richey when he says (at 1:31): "Essentially he told me that he wanted to be kicked out." We'd probably all like some specifics on this statement.
I was thinking the same thing
Of course not. It wasn’t part of the set up. Total fail.
He explained the reasons rather well.
They have ear pieces, they listen to whomever plans the interviews on what questions to ask. That’s why.
Seems to me like the same reason Trump wants a big circus around his indictment. It's not about the process but about trying to get the public riled up about how he's being treated. Take away the media coverage and you'd get completely different behaviour.
“Two energetic, youthful males.” C’mon Representative, tell us more. What do you mean? 🦌
Bryan, you would make a better pastry chef than a politician or even a PR person.
Rep. Richey just fed America a bunch of horse hockey saying he was just honoring Jones' wish to be expelled.

Why do dems vote against extra security at schools?? Perhaps they need mass tragedy to happen so they can push there anti gun agenda more.
There is no way that brotha said anything like that to the GOP member!
Great question for the GOP ⁉️
Not a chance! And, if this liar was just trying to honor his colleagues wishes, why vote for the other Rep., especially, since he claims that he was opposed to expulsion?! #Shameful
The three protesters did not vote for bills that would put _MORE_ guns in schools by adding armed guards that have proven ineffective in dealing with previous shootings. It is total spin, to put it politely, to say they refused to vote for bills that would make schools safer. Richey also claims Jones _WANTED_ to be expelled. Right. If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.

@@xman9190 Thanks for the good word. You raise a good point. I have seen Tapper turn up the heat on these weasels on many occasions. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing him play softball like he did with this meat popsicle. Tapper's certainly no MAGA sympathizer.

If Grandma Had Wheels, She’d Be A Wagon
_Grandma is a Lebanese_
_Her cabin, high up in the trees_
_She ordered up a ham and cheese_
_But they brought rigatoni_
_This will not do at all, she said_
_If I eat this, I'll wind up dead_
_She baked a catfish pie instead_
_And fed some to her pony_
_She chanted Creole mumbo jumbo_
_Making magic filé gumbo_
_She grew great big ears like Dumbo_
_Then she flew away_
_Where Grandma went, we cannot guess_
_All decked out in her Sunday dress_
_A castle in the clouds, no less?_
_Not one of us can say_
_From time to time we sit and ponder_
_Gazing at the wild blue yonder_
_Through the wilderness I wander,_
_Weary spirit dragging_
_She has returned, we know not how_
_No more to roam, her solemn vow_
_Alas, she's sprouted wheels, so now_
_Our Grandma is a wagon_

YOU CAN T SILENCE A PERSON, BECAUSE THE HAVE AN OPINION. THIS IS AMERICA. YOUR REASON IS BASELESS.
There should be no apology. The GOP needs to grow a spine!
Now we can expell anyone that supported jan 6th
GOP House Rep. Bryan Richey, I am so sorry for your loss. Brains are hard to come by, but to have had them and then to have thrown them away like you did, defies logic, and can only be ascribed to a terrible disease that has infected you and the rest of your Republican collegues.
Yes, brains are hard to come by, no democrapper has one, smh
They were more “animated.” 😆 These people. We understand coded language guys.
My sister was shot in the head 4 weeks ago in Murfreesboro TN by a man with gun crime history. TN laws don't work. I reached out to 11 state lawmakers for change, no change came.
Hey Tennessee, I guess having a bad reputation is not enough. Your state would be nothing without black people. Rock, blues, country, and many of the genres of music you make money on, was founded by Blacks or with African instruments like the banjo and guitar.
The sad thing is that if the media didn’t exist, we wouldn’t know about this.
State wouldn’t be anything without white people either…goes for the whole country
@Kiss My Axe it’s true man, look it up
12 year old black boy murders 3 white teenagers in Florida. Your comment makes a lot of sense.
Memphis is one of the worst places to be black in America. Mass shootings on the daily.
Not one of those Democrats ever spoke so much as a peep until George Soros and Michael Bloomberg offered to send paid "protestors" to attack our civil rights.
No marches through the ghetto. No sit ins at the liquor stores and crack houses.
They only cares when those black lives and black bodies could be used as battering rams in an open assault on civil rights that scare the sh1t out of Socialist dictators.
Wait till they hear Elvis stole his moves and music from black folks
There is nothing legal or democratic about this act of barbarism.
"nothing legal"... I assume you also mean "nothing constitutional"... If so, don't hold your breath that garland will step in and file an injunction.
@@B_Bodziak it's absolutely hypocrisy on behalf of anyone claiming to be a constitutional conservative to support and vote in favor of violating someone's freedom and right to protest.
I agree. They were at their job as a rep. They should not have been protesting.
This was a perfectly legal demonstration, No vandalism, no arrests
@Jeremy Clayborne no, not at all 🤦♀
I don't believe that he said wanted to get kicked out ... why would he fight to come back?!! The lies he tell!
Stand your ground. Don't cave in to "woke" politics. Rules apply to everyone.
He can explain till the Cows come home It is just retaliation
It was legal!
@@peggyivey5828Then it’s legal for Trump to be tried. Wouldn’t you agree?
But MTG and LB screaming while the president speaks is fine. Give a break
Well, they didn't use a bullhorn.
They are bullhorns.
And they are white republicans.
Says someone else is hypocritical, then proceeds to flounder on that last question.
Fascism in Tennessee.
Sad to say it’s coming to
Louisiana if Jeff Landry is
elected governor next year.
“I don’t know what that entails.” That says it all.
Isn't it his job to "know what that entails"?
Speaks volumes
So he’s sticking with the whole “I don’t want to talk about it. That should not be discussed” bs. Can’t learn.
What do you not understand about having RULES while in session. ????
What do you not understand about a peaceful protest after people came to be heard and were ignored. What rules, then write them up. Expulsions!
@@lotsoffun4716 Then all of them should have been expelled not just the black men.
@@lotsoffun4716 Rules are not laws.
@@lotsoffun4716 So why is Lafferty still fine? He was caught on camera lunging at Jones and grabbing his phone.
Black people being passionate scared the living hell out of ‘em is what it is. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Why do we keep fighting to be apart of parties who don’t want is there. Time to start building our own again and THIS TIME?! NO BACKING DOWN!!!
"Completely horrible"?!! What words would he use to describe the deaths of 6 people, three of them children?
Jake tapper need to start fact checking these guys bs
hahaha Jake Tapper?!? woof. he’s the last dude to hold anyone accountable including himself.
Jake doesn't want to rock the boat , got to keep that both sides narrative going
Jake has 10 producers in his ear piece trying to trip this guy up and failed.
@@Ok-551 lol you liked your own post 🤡
@@harley2die4 I'm a big democrat and this is something I can agree. Jake should do his job better and be smart and intelligent
Warranted? So it's only happened two other times since the Civil War. Once for a representative taking a bribe, and the other representative accused of sexual assault. Please make that make sense.
"Absolutely horrible "🙄
Did he even answer the questions??
Schools shouldn't need security if u tighten gun laws, in Australia our schools are pretty open and easily accessed but our gun laws are stringent, and don't even mention mental health we have the same issues but still gun laws stop idiots getting guns
Axes and machetes kill people too.
You were about your crap country that arrested people for taking trash out to side walk and beat people for not wearing face diapers in the streets.smh
So you have no murders, robbing, etc? No gun violence at all?
@@thereaction18 you see - this is the mentality you are dealing with -
@@peggyivey5828 you see - this is the mentality you are dealing with -
Two "energetic youthful males" that were a little more "animated" while they were up there. Give me a break.
Yeah, answer was the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. But it's recorded for everyone to see. He can own it.
Was he talking about them screaming into bullhorns but she didnt?
Exactly such a ridiculous statement
@@RickMcGuire-bl2vs he’s talking about anyone with the balls in general to say something about gun reform. Since the gop is too spineless. There ya go 👌🏾
Translation; Two young Black delinquents, strong and scary! Describing fellow elected representatives? That's it, and he is blissfully unaware of what his words convey! Staggering stupidity at best.
Bryan Ritchie will never be a US Representative or US Senator to Congress!
The Tennessee Legislature is the best he can do for himself! He is bright, as a 10 year old child/ LOL
Brian Richey is attempting to say extra school security and stopping gun violence are the same thing. He said that those who voted against the newest bill were "hypocritical ". Could it be that those "hypocrites" want a solution, not a bandaid?
The only thing that would motivate people like that is for it to happen to them personally. Otherwise to them it is always someone else's problem and they do not want to be be bothered with it.
You think so? Really? Did Trump change when he got COVID? Nope. Why? Because he had special access to special treatment, not available to anyone else. So, for him to say, having COVID was no big deal...Well, it was no big deal -- for him.
What I would be interested in seeing is a survey of the security at the schools, businesses, and churches these gun-nut lawmakers frequent. Obviously, the Dems send their kids to public schools, they shop at Walmart, and they attend churches containing more Bibles than members carrying pistols.
Like the law representative sad after the Tennessee shooting my daughter is home schooled.
Yep. Just look at the Governor.
I would not be surprised if their kids are home schooling, hence why they don't need to acknowledge these issues.
@@geogonzalez7126 Home schools, and private academies that don't accept just anyone. You see, now? Segregation isn't just about color.
Remember, these people were elected by the people of Tennessee... thats disturbing.... not surprising, but disturbing.
1:05 smh. protesting injustice in a courthouse is the most patriotic thing one could do.
Bryan Richey knows how to cover up his party's actions and is a liar! What his party did was overreach, and I'm not a fan of gun control!
*YOU JUST CAUSED & ENERGIZED MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN TENN HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE TO VOTE!. **#THANKYOU*
