Former Tennessee St. Rep. Justin Jones speaks out on being expelled by GOP lawmakers after supporting student gun control protest

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what she calls an "unprecedented" and "frankly shameful" day in American politics. The Tennessee House took up resolutions to expel three Democratic lawmakers, not for breaking any laws. They moved to expel these members for standing in the well of the chamber despite being ruled out of order by the speaker, and attempting to speak loudly against gun violence, and children being shot dead in schools--something that just happened weeks ago, in Nashville. Former St. Rep. Justin Jones, who represents the district in Nashville where last month's shooting took place, and who was ultimately expelled by Tennessee House Republicans, joins Joy Reid live to speak out on his explusion from the legislative chamber right before the vote that would lead to the explusion of former St. Rep. Justin Pearson.
