The radical left’s favorite screaming agitator is at it again.
Far-left Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), the same serial disruptor who helped lead an insurrection inside the Tennessee State Capitol back in 2023 alongside the rest of the “Tennessee Three,” was caught on camera aggressively intimidating and cursing out a Tennessee Highway Patrol state trooper during Thursday’s chaotic special session on redistricting.
Video footage from the Tennessee State Capitol shows Pearson getting right in a state trooper’s face as officers attempted to remove disruptive protesters, including Pearson’s own brother, Keshaun Pearson, from the House gallery after Speaker Cameron Sexton ordered it cleared. Pearson, true to form, exploded in a profanity-laced tirade:
“MOVE THE FCK BACK! BOY!! What the f is wrong with you? You stupid motherf***r!”
He shoved the trooper’s arm away and continued berating the officer while trying to interfere with his brother’s removal.
Rep. Burchett didn’t mince words. In a direct response on X, the Congressman laid it out crystal clear:
“He needs to go to jail.”
Under Tennessee law, verbally threatening a law enforcement officer, including a state trooper, can constitute criminal harassment or assault.
Interfering with an officer’s duties, such as by obstructing them or refusing to comply with lawful orders, is also a crime, often charged as resisting arrest or obstruction.
He needs to go to jail. https://t.co/P2vG9zEurM

This is the same Justin Pearson who was previously expelled from the Tennessee House for his role in the 2023 Capitol meltdown where radical Democrats and their activist mob tried to shut down the legislature over gun control.
