Biden opens White House to disruptive ‘Tennessee Three’ legislators
Biden, 80, called it an “honor” to have the so-called “Tennessee Three” – Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson – join him and Vice President Kamala Harris in the Oval Office, but gave no indication when or if he would extend a similar invitation to the victims of the school shooting that sparked the protest or the hero cops who prevented a worse tragedy.
“You’re standing up for our kids, you’re standing up for our communities – safe communities – and democratic values,” Biden told the three lawmakers.
When asked last week if Biden would meet with families of the victims, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded with a bureaucratic: “I don’t have anything to read out to you about any invite.”
