Tennessee state Rep. Justin Pearson (D) took it a little too far last week when he screamed in the face of state troopers unprovoked, all because he disagreed with the result of the state’s redistricting special session.
Pearson not only asked the state troopers what was wrong with them while addressing them as “boy,” but he also yelled, “You stupid motherf**ker!”
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is disturbed by the outburst.
“What a juxtaposition, what a transformation that we went from the 1960s, where law enforcement was speaking disrespectfully to black protesters and black people and calling them ‘boy’ and being intimidating to in 2026, we have an elected official, a college-educated person, someone in a suit and tie that is supposed to be a professional person shouting ‘boy’ and dropping ‘MFs’ and all of this other stuff,” Whitlock comments.
“Like, wow, things have changed. And people want to pretend like things haven’t changed, but clearly they have,” he adds.
Whitlock explains that while black politicians like Pearson are framing the redistricting as a “black-white thing,” it’s actually “a Democrat-Republican thing.”
“Republicans, I believe, have a black woman that they want to put in that seat,” he continues, adding, “This is crazy.”
“He’s very dramatic,” Anthony Walker agrees.
“That video was just appalling to me because … if you’re really trying to fight for voter rights, what does this behavior do to support any of that? All it does is support the stereotype. All it does is support, you know, just foolishness,” he adds.
