Republican who voted to expel Tennessee Three and to ban drag shows resigns for being a sex pest
They stick to the script, you have to give them that:
As lawmakers filed into the House chamber after a lunch break on Thursday, the desk of former Rep. Scotty Campbell sat empty, the characteristic lawmaker name plate missing from its front.
Campbell, R-Mountain City, resigned from the General Assembly in a sudden move Thursday, less than two hours after he told The Tennessean he had no plans to step down from a Republican caucus leadership position over a harassment policy violation.
House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, confirmed Thursday afternoon Campbell had issued a letter of resignation after an ethics subcommittee last month found Campbell had violated a workplace discrimination and harassment policy.
If there are any members of the Republican conference who have not committed worse offenses than what the Tennessee Two were expelled for I would be surprised.
…John Sexton is a genuinely horrible person even by MAGA standards.
Sexton is deeply implicated in the coverup for a member of the Tennessee Republican House leadership who sexually harassed an intern — including the expenditure of state funds — and is now declaring any questions about the coverup “out of order” https://t.co/W9z9vutZNh— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) April 21, 2023
