Burning outrage over Congressional redistricting in Tennessee is exploding in that state’s capital … where state Rep. Justin Jones set fire to Confederate flag.

Justin was protesting Tennessee Republicans approving a new Congressional map Thursday — splitting up a majority-Black district in Memphis — when he joined a crowd marching and chanting through the Capitol, held up a printout of the rebel flag … and lit it up.

While still holding the burned flag — which had “We will not go back” written along the edge — Justin told The Tennessean, “They’re taking us backwards to this type of environment where Black folks are not treated with equal representation, where we’re pre-1965.”

He feels Republicans are “dragging us backwards in history” with this vote, saying on Instagram, … “When I walked into the building it was 2026, and when I walked out it was pre-1965. This racial power grab against Black voters is purely rooted in control and elimination of their voices in our democracy.”
