Vice-president to go to Tennessee after legislators tossed out Joanna Walters United States vice-president Kamala Harris prepares to take a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, today after the Republicans managing the state legislature expelled 2 young Black legislators last night for signing up with public demonstrations requiring higher weapon security in the wake of a mass shooting at a primary school in the city. Here’s a tweet from Harris’s press secretary, Kirsten Allen. BRAND-NEW >> Today, @VP will take a trip to Nashville, TN. There she will meet state legislators along with young leaders who continue to require action on good sense weapon reform.https:// t.co/ kMeaAAF1UI– Kirsten Allen (@KirstenAllen46) April 7, 2023Harris will consult with the 2 legislators, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, and a 3rd Democratic legislator, Gloria Johnson, who is white and directly prevented being expelled. The relocation has actually been condemned as racist, anti-democratic and not in the interests of securing kids’s security from weapon violence and school shootings, critics state. > Today, @VP will take a trip to Nashville, TN.
