Tennessee Democrat State Rep. Justin Pearson went live on his official Instagram account and thanked anti-Trump protesters for getting arrested at the Tennessee State Capitol. It’s worth noting that numerous elected Democrats have supported Pearson in the past, none more famously than Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Warren , who posted in 2023: “I stand with Rep. Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson.” Elected Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.

Why was Tennessee State Rep Justin Jones allowed to burn something in a Tennessee government building with Tennessee State Troopers standing directly behind him? If anyone else did this, they would be immediately arrested.

🚨 DISGRACEFUL: Tennessee Democrat State Rep. Justin Pearson was caught on camera aggressively intimidating and screaming in the faces of State Troopers during the redistricting vote. PEARSON: “MOVE THE FCK BACK! BOY!! What the fck is wrong with you?! You stupid motherf*cker!” This is how a radical leftist “lawmaker” treats the officers sworn to protect him. All because he’s melting down over fair maps. Expel this clown immediately.

Tennessee Rep. Justin J. Pearson: Memphis is the place that raised me. Republicans are eviscerating the only Black majority congressional district in our state. Republicans have to seek to steal elections because Trump has refused to address the pain and suffering of everyday Tennesseans. This is about attacking, targeting, and cracking District 9 into pieces for more political and racial dominance

POLITICAL VIOLENCE: SCOTUS ruled racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional. Tennessee drew color-blind maps. Democrats responded by threatening state legislators. Rep. Deborah Moody now travels with 6 state troopers for her safety. Democrats built their congressional majority on race-drawn districts & are now threatening anyone who complies with the Constitution. The violence tells you everything about what those districts were really for.
