    How strange, I wonder what was different about the third one as opposed to these two guys…

        Do you guys get off on making assumptions with as little info as possible?

          Who’s is making assumptions? There are 3 representatives. 2 of them are black and 1 was white. The 2 black men were expelled and the white woman was not. Those are facts not assumptions.

          From the article: “Ultimately, Johnson, who is white, narrowly avoided expulsion while Pearson and Jones were booted by the predominantly white GOP caucus.”

            Further (emphasis mine):

            House Republican leaders have repeatedly denied that race was a factor in the expulsion hearings. Democrats have disagreed, with Johnson countering that the only reason that she wasn’t expelled was due to her being white.

            Yes that is surely what happened. But I’m talking about pretending to know the details about why she was not expelled. It certainly could be based on race.

            It’s okay to not know.
