VP Kamala Harris Hammered For 'Loud' Defense Of Expelled Tennessee Democrats

Condemning Tennessee Republicans for voting to expel Democrats from their state legislature, conservatives on Twitter, ripped into Vice President Kamala Harris, this weekend, after she made a "loud" speech in Nashville regarding the matter.

Harris gave a speech at church in the state Friday, accusing the GOP-majority governing body of trashing Democracy, by silencing the lawmakers and the voters they represent. Her speech was in response to the vote that led to the expulsion of two state representatives from the legislature, and the near expulsion of a third.

Those expelled were Rep. Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, and Rep. Justin Jones, D-Nashville.  Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, missed expulsion by one vote.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, Echoing Democratic Party rhetoric about Republicans who encourage protest, asked, was this "Incitement to insurrection?"

Reportedly, the vice president practically yelled, arms waving - In a very animated portion of her speech, loudly declaring-

 "It wasn’t about the three of these leaders. It was about who they were representing. It’s about whose voices they were channeling! Understand that!" she asked, "And is that not what a democracy allows?" … "A democracy says you don’t silence the people! You do not stifle the people!" and essentially screaming ..."You don’t turn off their microphones when they’re speaking about the importance of life and liberty!"

The backlash was swift.

• On Twitter, several critics of the Vice President, mocked her for defending the intimidating Tennessee capitol protests, when Democrats have linked conservative calls to protest to incitement of violence.

• Tennessee Republican Caucus Chair, Rep. Jeremy Faison justified the expulsion, claiming that the lawmakers were at points leading raucous protests in the state capitol this week. He went on to describe them directing the protests, like they were "leading a choir."

• Further. Matthew Kolken, an Immigration lawyer and conservative, replied to Harris’ passionate appeal to stop silencing people, asking, "Then why was the Hunter Biden laptop story silenced?

• Damian Ranger, Accountant and Christian conservative, used Twitter to mock Harris and Democrats, with a sarcastic post depicting how many in their party spoke about the January 6 riot. He said-

 "Kamala, the Tennessee Insurrection was worse than the Civil War, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11. We will not stand by as our Democracy is attacked."

• Conservative activist and Florida GOP member Leo Libertad asked, "What's wrong with this lady???"

• Conservative activist Mike Davis commented, "There's the loud, dumb, angry former (absentee) senator I remember well."
