Campfield Debate Gets Increasingly Heated
Republican State Representative Stacey Campfield of Knoxville just keeps digging himself deeper into a hole that’s becoming embarassing for his entire party. After being denied membership in the State’s Legislative Black Caucus, Campfield — who is white — likened the Black Caucus to the Ku Klux Klan. Within days, MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann declared Campfield one of the “worst people in the world.” To top it off, the NAACP sent a letter calling on the Tennessee Republican Party to censure Campfield and demand his resignation. No word yet on whether Republican Party Chairman Bob Davis will move on the request.
