The self-own on the part of these racist TN legislators is astounding. All of that out-in-the-open racist actions and they will have nothing good come from it.

Sexton needs to be expelled from the legislature for stealing from the taxpayers by asking for ‘reimbursements’ for trips to and from a location he was not living at. After he is given a chance to prove otherwise.

They kicked him out on Thursday. On Good Friday, they began threatening to withhold state funds from any Nashville projects were he reinstated.
It rained a holy hell of derision and condemnation on Saturday, but they still enjoyed more pork on Easter Sunday.
On Monday, however, they lost their Battle of Shiloh.

Give it a day or two.
Once no one is looking, he’ll do something stupid. F’rinstance - what about the committee assignments?
Yes, I want it all and I want it now. What was quick to be done, should be quick to be undone.

Though the devil is coming to Nashville, the state party should let this go.
Trump n Pence are going to force that party to write checks that are going to eventually bounce.
