Much has been made about the expulsion of two Democratic lawmakers in Tennessee, but “Fox & Friends” hosts believe it was a justified move, using the events and aftermath of January 6 to bolster their assertions.
Reps. Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson were both expelled from the GOP-controlled Tennessee House on Friday following their participation in a gun control rally on the floor. A third member, Rep. Gloria Johnson, was not expelled. Democrats have rallied around the two men, with President Joe Biden even stepping in to declare the move “undemocratic.”
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt led the charge, explaining that the actions of these legislators led to Friday’s decisions.
“Because these three were leading those protesters onto the balcony in the House chamber last week. Then it carries into this week. And the Republican-led House has said we won’t stand for this,” she said.
Will Cain also chimed in to call attention to the similarities of the January 6 riot at the Capitol, something that Democrats claim is not a fair comparison.
“I’m listening to President Biden, and I’m just trying to understand — and I’m going to feign some inability to understand this because I fully get that the use of protecting democracy or accusing something of being undemocratic is just a proxy for I want you to lose,” he explained. “So during January 6th, people condemn-ably rioted and stormed the Capitol and it is described as undemocratic. In Tennessee, people stormed the Capitol, interrupted the democratic process, and used bullhorns. And if you punish them, that’s undemocratic. So it’s undemocratic as long as it is in disfavor with Joe Biden.”
Brian Kilmeade pretended to chide Cain before making a larger point.
“Here’s the big difference, it’s okay to storm the Capitol if you are against assault- or if you’re for gun control, it is. Okay. Here’s the difference. It’s a state house as opposed to the Capitol. I get it. Number two is lawmakers were leading this. They weren’t just like, ‘Hey, guys, I agree with you, but get out, get out of my seat get out of the Capitol, you don’t belong here,'” Kilmeade said, continuing on to point out that the legislators actually took up with the disgruntled crowd.
