Warnock said that the expulsion of two Black Democrats was 'undemocratic, un-American, unacceptable.'
"Sadly, we are living through a moment in our country where at least in parts of our politics and parts of our country there are those who feel that racism is not only acceptable, it's fashionable," Warnock said on Friday.
Discussing the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Warnock said that part of what King did was make racism"unpopular and socially unacceptable." Warnock went on to say that the Tennessee House is"deeply gerrymandered" and said that Republicans"have convinced themselves that the people's House is their house and so they have effectively evicted the people out of their own House.. They have evicted the people of their districts out of their own House. And I think the people see this. They're witnessing it.
