NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee State Rep. Jeremy Durham was a rising Republican legislative star, but his increasingly erratic behavior and mounting sexual harassment allegations finally caught up with him.
Durham’s fellow legislators voted 70-2 yesterday to expel him.
Durham faced a grilling prior to the vote. Rep. Bill Lamerth of Cottontown was visibly angry.
"For God's sake, I want to know, 'Did you do it?' If you did that affects my vote today. If you didn't, we all deserve to know."
Durham denied many of the allegations made against him during yesterday’s session.
