NBC News: “President Joe Biden will meet with the three Tennessee Democratic legislators who faced expulsion over gun control protests at the White House on Monday.
Biden’s press secretary said the president invited the “Tennessee three” — Democratic Reps. Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson and Justin J. Pearson — to “continue that conversation” over the lawmakers’ calls for gun control.
“He saw these three legislators as taking that next step when calling for an assault weapons ban, which is incredibly important,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. “Weapons of war should not be on the streets.””
