He's returned as an interim legislator, pending a new election.
I believe the law probably says something to the effect that the local political leaders of the jurisdiction an expelled member represents can immediately vote to install an interim representative -- otherwise you wouldn't just be expelling a representative, you would be denying representation to the people he represents. So in a show of #Resistance, the city council voted to have the expelled representative be his own interim replacement.
Will he go on to re-win the election they're forcing him into? Probably. It's a law of #Resistance: just keep doubling down. Just keep waving the flag of black nationalism and show those White Devils you won't be #Oppressed.
This is a truly hysterical video: Check out how this other expelled representative, Justin Pearson, presented himself before the public when he first ran for office.
And then compare that to his transformation in the Age of St. George Floyd. Stay with it, it is definitely worth it.
He went from Cory Booker to Nat X in five years.
Kyle Shideler writes about the left's tactic of endlessly doubling down, endlessly threatening escalation and violence, until the right backs down.
Which they literally always do.

In blackjack, there is a strategy where if you lose, you double your bet the next hand, thereby recouping any loss. If you lose, you just double again, and keeping doubling until you finally win. Casinos have maximum and minimum table limits for this reason.
This is analogous to the strategy employed by the left today. They took the "loss" of the covenant shooting (in the context of damaging their transgender agenda which was already on the back foot in TN). They doubled down to storm TN Capitol to reestablish narrative control.
The TN legislature expels the offenders. Left loses again. So they call in Obama, Kamala and the national media, and make another double bet. Call the legislature racist, reappoint the nashville offender legislator and dare the legislature to refuse to seat him. And they win.
Who can say what the next bet would have been if the TNGOP hadn't blinked? Taken it to the UN Security Council? Riots? But you can bet they would have come back yet again.
This works because, like Blackjack, the Left's opponents are rules based. Always hit on 16, always stand on 17. It's the rules. So the odds are predictable. If you escalate in a seemingly unreasonable fashion, eventually the right will go bust.
There are places the left goes politically where the right cannot follow. They lack the infrastructure, the trained cadres, expertise, the bank roll and the will. So escalation will always eventually put the Left in the driver seat. So they are always incentivized to escalate.
This is a good point, and explains why the left is attacking Trump and MAGA so hard: Because Trump and MAGA counter-escalate.
The left realizes that if they escalate and the right counter-escalates, not only does this deny them the easy victories that always come from the Pussy Right always backing down, but it could lead to actual open warfare. If the left keeps on escalating in rhetoric and actual violence, and the right, instead of meekly backing down and accepting losses forever, counter-escalates in rhetoric and action, that could lead to an actual civil war the left could lose.
Now, one way to avoid this escalation towards civil war is for the left to simply stop escalating all the time. But of course this is absolutely anathema to the left, including their media cheerleaders and Deep State guardian. Under no circumstances will the violent Marxist left ever be denied its "right" to escalate further and further into open violence.
That means that the right must be made to abandon its newly-adopted tactic of counter-escalation.
And that means that the Deep State must begin prosecuting Trump and anyone in MAGA for non-criminal behavior, and putting them on terrorist watch-lists for using dangerous code-words like "red-pilled" and "Chad."
The Deep State and the left will make it clear, through persecution and state-sanctioned warfare against the right, that only the left is permitted to engage in revolutionary, inciting rhetoric, and commit actual revolutionary violence. The right will be carted off to political prisons to protect the Marxist Left's Monopoly on Violence.
