This is mostly true but it is opinionated. According to the Huffington Post, Tennessee State Representative Jeremy Faison had an interview with CNN's Van Jones on April 6th. This was In response to the Tenn. House voting to remove two Black representatives for their protests for gun control. In the interview, Faison was asked questions like...

 “Why did you not go to the Ethics Committee? Why did you not go through due process?”

 and 

“You want them to not be extreme, but you’re being extreme. Why is that?”

Faison left the interview early, explaining that his commute home was long. It can not be known for certain why Faison left the interview, so I am unable to confirm the reason.
