Joe Biden is currently using our DOJ to go after his political rivals and not a peep out of you about it. Talk about silent voices. 🙄

Another way you could phrase this: Tennessee Republicans give liberals a taste of their own medicine, but learn nothing from the experience.

Did you see the behavior of the two Democrat reps in question? These were the same two that were expelled for bad behavior, then reinstated. These same two grabbed the gavel and banged it, incited the gallery to be disruptive and got into a fist fight with the Speaker.

Liberals have absolutely no self awareness.

Oh please! The left wrote the book on silencing everyone they don't agree with. I'm not saying it's not wrong in this instance, but please, don't paint one side with that brush.

Oh man liberals never do that.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Seems like they're punishing lawmakers who use the heckler's veto. Why is this a bad thing?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Kind of ironic for democrats to be complaining about silencing voices they disagree with, when that's the whole disinformation game
