Angela Rye speaks with state representative Justin Jones from Tennessee’s 52nd District (Nashville). 

 

Rep. Jones hit the national political spotlight after being expelled from the Tennessee House for joining a gun control protest. He brings that same energy to countering the immigration raids that have been plaguing Nashville; recently, he was barred from even being in the same room as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during her press conference in his district. 

 

Angela Rye and Rep Jones discuss the politics of divide and conquer.
