'Tennessee three' to visit Biden at White House next week
Fox News
Three Tennessee lawmakers will visit the White House Monday after facing expulsion votes following their participation in gun protests. President Joe Biden thanked them for speaking out.
The president spoke with the lawmakers to thank them "for speaking out and for standing their ground, and being very clear about what's needed to protect their communities," Jean-Pierre said.
The expulsion votes added a level of political drama and controversy to the violence at The Covenant School, where three children and three adults were killed.
Two of the lawmakers — Rep. Justin Pearson and Rep. Justin Jones, both Black — were expelled by the Republican-controlled legislature. The third, Rep. Gloria Johnson, who is white, was not.
