Six people, including three children, were killed last week in a school shooting in Nashville.

How did Republican lawmakers in Tennessee respond?

By expelling their colleagues who stood with Tennesseans and said enough is enough.

This is undemocratic and dangerous.

CNN: “Why were those two expelled and you weren't?”

Rep @VoteGloriaJ: “Well, I think it's pretty clear. I'm a 60 year old white woman and they are two young Black men.”

I spent an hour talking to a reporter about the historical profession, and especially about his (incorrect) idea that historians don’t talk to the public or explain our research to reporters. The article came out and I wasn’t in it, thus answering his questions.

This a school basement in a Chernihiv village that Russians turned into a concentration camp. I visited it today. And I listened to survivors for hours, shocked, in disbelief. The media narratives do not do the justice to what happened there. 1/

Privately, some Republicans express concern to me that these events are not only alienating independents, but also GOP women who don’t want their kids getting killed at school.

This is Tennesse House Speaker Cameron Sexton- @CSexton25. In 2019 he declined to expel a rep who was accused of, and later admitted to, sexually abusing 3 underage girls

Tonight he voted to expel 3 democratic reps for protesting against kids getting shot in their own classrooms

Younger voters may be the behind the stinging loss for conservatives in WI this week. In Nov, 18- to 29-year-old voters in WI went with the radical candidate by 40 points. Digital ads. Student coalitions. None of these will do it. We have to undo years of liberal indoctrination.
