Vice President Kamala Harris is set to travel to Nashville, Tennessee on Friday for a meeting with the group of Democratic lawmakers who were expelled from the General Assembly.
The lawmakers, including Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, were removed from the assembly due to their participation in leading the insurrection on the House floor following the targeted Christian school shooting.
NEW: VP Kamala Harris will visit Nashville on Friday after two Tennessee Democratic lawmakers were expelled for leading a mob at the Capitol building.
The VP will visit Tennessee because 2 Democrats lost their power but not for the 6 dead Christians.
It's always about power.

She will also emphasize the importance of ensuring that the voices of young people are heard in Tennessee and throughout the country.
REACTIONS:
She didn’t come to Nashville to attend any of the vigils for the children murdered by a trans terrorist. She didn’t come to meet with the families. Instead she’s coming for this. These people are truly just absolute scum. Hideously wicked human beings. https://t.co/mqLEK0ZN1j
