Tennessee State Democrat Lawmakers have been removed from the committee assignments by Speaker of the Statehouse Cameron Sexton, Republican. These adults had misbehaved during a legislative session. Tennessee Democrats and their media adjuncts show the truth of their infantilism by the bad behavior in their reaction. They are toddlers railing against “NO” but unable to use their words and acting out spoiled children.

For reference, I asked AI to render descriptions of signs of spoiled adults:

Self-absorption and self-centeredness – Prioritizing your own needs over others’.

Entitlement – Believing you deserve more than others, or that the world owes you something simply because you exist.

Poor impulse control – Acting on emotions without considering the impact on others Psychology Today.

Struggle with failure – Difficulty accepting criticism or setbacks because they’ve been shielded from them.

Lack of gratitude – Taking things for granted and rarely acknowledging others’ contributions.

Boundary violations – Giving in to demands without considering limits.

Manipulative or attention-seeking behavior – Creating drama or picking fights to get what they want Power of Positivity.

Emotional escalations – Reacting with anger, blame, or name-calling when frustrated Psychology Today.

Tennessee Democrats are known for this kind of behavior. Three years ago, Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson (GloJo) acted out and broke rules to protest gun violence as shown in the photo above. Jones and Pearson lost their seats while GloJo kept her seat by one vote. Jones and Pearson were later voted back in.

Here is their latest infantilism that provoked the House Speaker from The Washington Examiner:

Tennessee Democratic lawmakers in the state House have been removed from leadership positions as punishment for how they carried out fiery protests against Republicans’ redistricting agenda.

Republican Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton removed Democratic lawmakers from all House standing committees and subcommittees until next session, “except where membership is required.” The development affects multiple lawmakers, including state Reps. Justin Pearson, Justin Jones, Gabby Salinas, Gloria Johnson, and Aftyn Behn. One letter sent to Democratic House Leader Karen Camper stated that she would remain on the Government Operations Committee only as required by House rules.

In a letter, Sexton said that the lawmakers took actions “aimed at disrupting the democratic and legislative processes and creating disorder” on the House floor, including “instigating and encouraging disruptions of the legislative process in coordination with paid protestors and attendees in the gallery.”

Here they are marching out of the chamber:

There are longer videos but this one is long enough for you to get the drift.

Speaker Cameron Sexton sent a letter to the Minority Leader advising him that lawmakers were being removed from committees.

Here is more from my local Knoxville News Sentinel (Knox News):

House Speaker Cameron Sexton removed every member of the House Democratic Caucus from committees after Democrats stood in the well in protest as Republicans voted to pass new congressional maps that fractured Black voting power in Memphis.

House Democrats received individual letters from Sexton informing them they’d been removed from committees on May 12 — until further notice.

Knoxville’s Democratic members reacted in frustration.

State Rep. Sam McKenzie told Knox News stripping elected officials from committees where bills are shaped is a “dangerous game.”

McKenzie cited his time on the House Education Committee, where he was a leading advocate for accountability measures for Gov. Bill Lee’s school choice vouchers.

State Rep. Gloria Johnson said the move from Sexton was predictable.

“We were protesting maps that destroyed representation in Memphis,” Johnson, another Knoxville Democrat, said. “The speaker’s response was to deny representation. His only response is to deny representation.”

Johnson said Sexton was acting as if the members who were removed from committees are the only people affected by his move.

“Each person he kicked off committees represents 70,000 people,” Johnson said. “The committees are education, they are health, they are criminal justice, civil justice. Everything that affects your lives is gone over in these committees.”

Well, GloJo, you and the other Tennessee Democrats should have thought about that BEFORE you acted up.

Here is Justin Pearson verbally threatening a Tennessee Trooper. It could be that voice yelling “Pig” is Representative Gloria Johnson there with Pearson.

I am officially calling for the arrest, prosecution and jailing of Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson.

Under Tennessee law verbally threatening a state police officer is a serious CRIMINAL offense and interfering in the officers duties is also CRIMINAL.

This is Justin Pearson ten years apart. Broaddrick is right; Pearson went to the Jasmine Crockett code-switching school.

I’m wondering if Justin Pearson and Jasmine Crockett went to the same Ghetto Language classes. pic.twitter.com/HXNLm0slLG

These people are all fools. They need to grow up. Their ideas are wrong, so they won’t win, but at least they won’t make fools of themselves or their voters.
