Ousted Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones Reappointed To Seat By Nashville City Council | Eastern North Carolina Now

    One of the two Tennessee State Representatives ousted for participating in the storming of the Tennessee State House has been re-appointed to his seat.

    State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville) was re-appointed to his seat by a unanimous vote of the Nashville Metropolitan Council. According to CNN, the Nashville Metro Council voted to suspend a procedural rule that prevents an individual from being nominated and appointed to the seat in the same meeting.

    The Council then voted unanmiously, 36-0, to appoint Jones back to the seat.

    "This vote was unprecedented," Nashville Mayor John Cooper said during the meeting, according to local news outlet WTVF. "Let's give the district their voice back. I call this body to give them their voice back now."

    Jones will serve as interim Rep. for the 52nd legislative district until a special election is held. Jones is eligible for re-election, The Tennessean reported.

    Jones, along with fellow Democratic Rep. Justin J.Pearson, was expelled from the State House last week for breaking decorum rules, after breaking into the chamber during the legislative session and leading pro-gun reform protesters in chants in the chamber. Jones in particular shouted chants through a bullhorn, despite not being recognized to speak. The Republican supermajority in the State House ejected Jones by a vote of 72-25.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
