    I will enjoy watching your ilk yet again be unprepared for another debilitating loss — over and over and over again.

    That's enough to call it an insurrection in this case.

    Nope. Behind it all the point is seat counts in the House.

    You're admitting there's a double standard?

    And now it's two Democrats who have been expelled for breaking the rules of decorum.

    Shame on them for inciting the crowd.
    "At one point during the protest, the trio stood at the well of the House chambers, leading chants with a megaphone."

    Looks like they
    "did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions."

    Yet, Santos is still member of the US House of Representatives. This shows the GOP double standard (or willingness to go full authoritarian).

    Unfortunately, the Tennessee GOP lawmakers who voted to expel their Dem colleagues, because they dared to exercise their right of free speech, are probably mostly in safe GOP districts and will not be held accountable by their voters for this egregious abuse of power. In contrast, their voters are going to cheer them on, while tuning into Fox News every night.

    So you think Democrat lawmakers in session should be able to take over the session, take over the podium, with bullhorns to shut down the session because you think thats a legal demonstration.
    I actually believe you think that.

    Maybe if you and them spent less time whining about Trump and more time acting like an elected lawmaker in session, you wouldn't be losing Democrat votes in Houses.
    Just a thought

    Can you name these Republican Senators who joined the protestors?
    Because we can name 3 in Tennessee that did.

    Right, Because any black Democrat has the right to disrupt any House in session by joining with protestors, taking over the podium, chanting on bullhorns, and shouting down the session.
    What was everyone thinking.

    Talk about the entitlement of the left. Jesus.

    Oh, now its right to free speech? lol Thats going to be the lefts war cry now?
    This is the level of adult we can now expect from our Democrat lawmakers?
    Take over the podium during session, refusing to yield, inciting the protestors by screaming on bullhorns, shouting down the lawmakers in session.
    This is your idea of Democrat adults at work?
    Most call it acting entitled.

    Yes, their entitlement shows us they have rules for thee but not for themselves.

    Haven't you noticed though? It seems that with many Democrats, the only strategy is to never accept responsibility for doing anything wrong. Always misplace the blame and point their fingers at the right.
    We see the Biden WH do this on a daily basis. I think they purposely do this.

    I cab understanding the shocking because Biden hasn't a clue about regular actions. But undemocratic? What is undemocratic about a legal and proper vote? Maybe Biden sees democratic only if subterfuge and fraud is involved.

    Santos, as far as I know, lied about his background which is the exact same thing Clinton and Obama did. I don’t think he disrupted official government business.

    Honestly, what was undemocratic was their INSURRECTION. We can't have the gover
    and if they are INSURRECTIONISTS like these 3 people were then I hope they DO vote them out.

    Politicians are acting like children and it just enables the lowest common denominators in both parties. That said, I don't see the TN GOP spitefully ousting democrats for acting like brats as any better or worse than I saw the Texas democrats fleeing the state so a vote couldn't be held or any of the other "bright ideas" people get to try to get their way.
