Twitter critics took issue with the fact that Vice-President Kamala Harris made a loud speech against the Tennessee Republican Party for moves it made to expel Democrat members of the state legislature this week.
The State GOP made these moves after some of those Democrats took over the House floor to make impassioned speeches in favor of gun control.
The Harris critics were primarily upset that she had put in such efforts to speak about how terrible it was to have the Vice-President emphasizing politics while not addressing the grieving families still trying to recover from the school shooting situation.
Tennessee Republican Caucus Chair, Rep. Jeremy Faison, has not resigned from his position on the issue. He says that the members were getting wild and potentially out of control at points during their protest. Therefore, he felt he had little option but to expel them from the chamber.
Harris delivered a very animated speech about the expulsion of these members. In it, she said: It wasnt about the three of these leaders. It was about who they were representing. Its about whose voices they were channeling! Understand that!
She continued while yelling and moving her hands frequently, saying: And is that not what a Democracy allows? and A Democracy says you dont silence the people! You do not stifle the people!
She finally said: You dont turn off their microphones when theyre speaking about the importance of life and liberty!
Many critics on Twitter took issue with her passionate defense of these lawmakers while simultaneously criticizing the GOP for allegedly attempting to incite violence at state capitols.
Immigration lawyer and conservative Matthew Kolken went after Harris about silencing people by tweeting: Then why was the Hunter Biden laptop story silenced?
Accountant and Christian conservative Twitter user Damian Ranger also poked fun at the Vice-President by saying: Kamala, the Tennessee Insurrection was worse than the Civil War, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11. We will not stand by as our Democracy is attacked. This was a direct attack on Democrats who made such a big deal about the events of January 6, 2021, at the nations capital.
Conservative activist and Florida GOP member Leo Libertad simply said: Whats wrong with this lady???
Conservative activist Mike Davis added, Theres the loud, dumb, angry former (absentee) senator I remember well.
All in all, Vice-President Harris was criticized for getting so upset about the expelled lawmakers but not getting as upset about the actual shooting itself.
