• Former Tennessee Democratic State Rep. Justin Pearson preached a sermon on Easter Sunday centered on his recent ouster from the Tennessee House.
• Pearson was one of two Democrats expelled by the Republican majority for encouraging protests on the House floor, during which the lawmakers led hundreds of protesters in chants about gun control with a bullhorn and thereby disrupted legislative proceedings.
• Pearson, whose former constituency represented parts of Memphis, has since been featured on several legacy media outlets and gained accolades from prominent Democrats.
