Tennessee Lawmaker Removed from Committee After Gun Control Protest, Believes It's Retribution for Voucher Dissent
- Rep. Justin Jones (D-TN) says he has been removed from the House Education Admin Committee by the Speaker
- Jones believes this is an attempt to stifle dissent over the GOP's school voucher program
- Jones was one of two reps expelled last year for a gun control protest, but both won back their seats
- After the expulsion, the lawmakers met with Pres. Biden at the White House over gun violence prevention
- The White House has created an Office of Gun Violence Prevention to find more ways to counter gun violence
