Justin Jones (Tennessee politician)
He was expelled in April 2023 for violating decorum rules by leading a gun control protest on the House floor after the Covenant Mass shooting occurred, and Republican lawmakers returned to business as usual.The Nashville Metro Council voted unanimously to reinstate Jones as an interim representative pending a special election to fill the seat.[9] He was charged in 2019 with assaulting Glen Casada, a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, by allegedly throwing a drink, believed to be a hot coffee, at him.[15] An assault charge regarding Jones allegedly hitting a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper with a bullhorn in July 2020 was dismissed by a judge in April 2023.[19][20] After the March 2023 Covenant School shooting, Jones joined a protest alongside Gloria Johnson and Justin J. Pearson for gun control reform that disrupted House proceedings at the state capitol.[36] Jones, along with Rep. Justin J. Pearson, D-Memphis and Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, were scheduled to speak at 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but were omitted with no explanation.
