Republicans struck back in Tennessee after crooked Democrats in Virginia decided to ignore their State Constitution and try to steal four GOP seats. Now, the left is screaming and crying like babies.
On Thursday, the Tennessee House of Representatives voted to pass a map that would eliminate the state’s only Democratic, black-majority seat, making it 9-0 Republican. Ironically, the seat is currently held by a white Democrat, Rep. Steve Cohen.
The new map will cut Shelby County (where Memphis is based) into three districts. These districts will extend into heavily GOP rural and suburban areas, thereby overwhelming blue Memphis.
LOOK:
Following the vote, complete chaos ensued as protesters in the gallery started screaming at the top of their lungs and blowing horns. At the same time, Democratic lawmakers angrily stormed out of the chamber.

Some protesters who refused to leave the gallery when told to do so were dragged out by state troopers.

A reporter on scene said that as the protesters screamed and Democrats walked out, she heard what sounded like a possible firearm (it was later determined this was a noise device protesters brought in).

Far-left State Rep. Justin Pearson, who is running in the 9th district, described the GOP’s move as “evil.”

Pearson was later seen screaming and cursing at law enforcement as he and his fellow Democrats left the chambers.

Another Democrat state representative burned a Confederate battle flag in the rotunda following the vote. Will he get charged with a hate crime?

The legislation was later passed by the state senate, and the Democrats again threw a bunch of tantrums. One even got into a tug of war with the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
