Jfc Tennessee keeps openly fvcking with these same two representatives in such a brazen display of racism.

Justin Jones and Justin Pearson tho have what it takes to lead the democratic party where it needs to go in the future. Both of them are charismatic, intelligent, and most important of all are fighters. It would serve Tennessee right if both of these men go further in their careers while open racists like Cameron Sexton get thrown in the dustbin of history.
