Republicans think that they won last night. They did NOT win! Here's a video of a 'Covenant Mom' embracing expelled Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson. - Make sure this video goes viral. - Make sure everyone knows what this man stood for and what Republicans stood against. - Make sure you never forget what happened last night in Tennessee and 9 days ago in Nashville! THANK YOU Tennessee Three!
