The Tennessee State Legislature voted on Thursday to expel the first of three Democrat lawmakers for participating in an insurrection last week.
Rep Justin Jones was kicked out of the State legislature by a 72-24 vote for helping lead an insurrection inside the Tennessee State Capitol.
This marked the first time the state’s history that a partisan expulsion happened.
Before the vote, the Tennessee House played a video showing the three Democrats participating in the insurrection.
