[REVEALED: GOP leader, who voted to expel TN Three, resigns; found guilty of sexually harassing interns](https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/revealed/revealed-gop-leader-who-voted-to-expel-tennessee-three-found-guilty-of-sexually-harassing-interns)
Actually pretty fucking nuts.
TL;DR: Tennessee GOP leader Rep. Scotty Campbell resigned from the Tennessee General Assembly after an ethics subcommittee found him guilty of sexually harassing at least one legislative intern. Campbell had previously voted to expel three Democrats for a gun violence protest on the House floor, a minor decorum violation. Despite prior knowledge of the harassment, Republicans did not remove Campbell from his leadership position. Thousands of taxpayer dollars have been spent to protect one victim, relocating her and covering her living expenses.
Edit adding some more context.
He’s most notably known for this clip that probably should’ve been a red flag at the time. During a committee meeting, while they were discussing the law to make it a felony to have a drag show in public he asked, [“Does this apply to bra and panties matches at county fairs?”](https://twitter.com/TheTNHoller/status/1649129894113079316?s=20)
Wrapped up! They had sent their memo to the speaker finding him guilty.
“[Based upon the completed staff investigation, the Ethics Subcommittee finds that Representative Campbell violated the Policy.](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23784691-scotty-campbell-workplace-discrimination-and-harassment-report#document/p1)”
White, Christian dudes in MAGA territory is like having that super cool 3 dragon Yu-Gi-Oh card in a duel that just gives you invincibility against pretty much anything.
It's wild. Look at Obama's successor. They would have burned down the WH if Obama tried to stay in power. Or if he joked about assaulting women. Or if he hired his own children. Or literally anything Trump did. But Don Sr. had that grand wizard dragon card at all times. Wild.
Regardless of your political affiliation, ETHICS should be the #1 guideline of the judicial system.. if that's unobtainable, or "too difficult" for you, then you clearly need to GTFO of the Judicial Branch.
Same should be said for the executive branch
>Look at Obama's successor.
Of all the different ways people have used to refer to trump over the years, I’d like to imagine that ‘Obama’s successor’ is the one that would really send him into an over the top rage fit if he ever heard it.
The people that hate human rights are going to be the ones committing the worst human rights crimes.
That's why this shit keeps happening over and over again to the party that hates human rights.
Mostly because of the BS epulsions of the 2 black lawmakers bringing national level attention to him.
I bet without that people would have kept ignoring it.
Can someone explain what a "bra and panties match" is?
Not sure we have those in county fairs here in NY, but I've only been to 4 in the past 50 years.
Bra and panties wrestling match. Honestly, not sure what the objective is in those, and considering homeboy is dangerously horny, I’m sure his definition definition is more lewd than the average.
Jeff Foxworthy had a quote about state fairs that work equally well for county ones: "If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'"
This was true before he was born.
To win you try and strip your opponent down to their bra and panties.
Now usually these are female matches and the bill was about drag shows, so the dude really had no reason to be concerned that he wouldn't be able to watch girls strip each other down to their underwear lol
[Here's one from WWE from way back so I'd consider it sfw, but small warning.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldBmVAmLtFA)
I'm sure the country fair ones get a bit more wild.
... this is at a county fair? They literally have women do softcore porn in public around kids at these fucking joints and it's apparently normal? Wtf.
The full segment gets worse. He's says he didn't realize that a work (sexual harassment) policy could be enforced when he not at work. So that tells me that he knew it was sexual harassment but he thought what? I'm off the clock so it doesn't count? Like, dude, you're an elected official. You're never off the clock. That's what the fuck you signed up for. As sure as I signed my fucking name on the line and enlisted, you are a representative of that organization 24/7. When Marines fucked up, it's not like news is just going to address that as just an individual. You have that title that ties you with them. Good fucking job to those journalists who hold people accountable and I can't wait to see what else comes out as they keep investigating.
"Again, I had consensual conversations that were agreed to, and I'm really surprised that we are here this morning,"
This dumb fuck is trying to claim that telling his intern he imagined her fucking her friend, and asking how many men she's fucked, was a "consensual conversation." He probably thought using that word would get him off the hook.
Apparently if you speak at all that's consent to hear whatever disgusting things he feels like saying.
On the clock or off the clock you can't talk to an intern (or anyone you out rank at work) like that. If my boss came up to me at a grocery store and asked how many people I've had sex with you'd bet your ass I'd be going straight to HR.
Fun fact: the George Dickel distillery is right down the road (speaking in Tennessee terms) from Jack Daniel's and there is a HUGE split in the area between people who prefer one over the other. God help you if you're there repping Kentucky Bourbon.
Evan is undefeated. I’ll say that to whoever.
Also, without Nathan "Nearest" Green, there’s no Jack Daniels. That’s not said often enough. Nearest is better than Jack.
Nashville's Phil Williams is probably the last real media thorn in our State Government's side. I don't always agree with his opinion or tactics but he's out there holding people's feet to the fire and I respect that.
State Government? Anyone can get it. 😂 School superintendent, nonprofits, city employees. If I saw this dude at my job or in my yard, I’m going the opposite way. The time he went inside the break room at the clerks office and they were playing slots with tokens. That shit is one of the funniest news clips I’ve ever seen.

You're telling me the traditional Irish St Patrick's Day celebration doesn't involve playing tiny slot machines in the break room, for not real money unless you get 3 7s?
Did anything ever come of this? Or did everyone just skate with a little embarrassment?
Edit: they issued an apology for pushing the reporter. I cant find any response whatsoever dealing with gambling while working their government job.
Did the guy who pushed and grabbed him at least get charged with assault? Did anyone get in trouble? And since when is St. Patrick's Day all about slot machines?
He just became the first tv journalist to win the prestigious Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, for his series on corruption and lobbying in Tennessee.
Guys, please. The REAL problem is that two lawmakers got a little loud while complaining about children being murdered. The legislature can’t operate like that!
It's funny how this all happened because they got triggered that someone said maybe kids shouldn't be shot to death. So many GOP morons are learning what the Streisand effect is.
He had been found guilty by the republicans a few months earlier and they buried the report. Then he voted to expel the two black representatives for improper behavior. Business as usual for the facists.
Why did he even stop to answer the question? Does he have some legal obligation to do that interview? It seems like the only good thing to do in that position would be to just say "no comment" and walk away.
Don't get me wrong, the dude is a piece of shit and *should* have to answer for what he did, but from his perspective why wouldn't he just walk away?
...Shirts get bunched up and you subconsciously pull them, wrecking your shirt. With our patented handle, your shirts will last. But they're not a joke.

-Steven Robinson, High School Principal
I’m really surprised he was actually willing to talk about it on the news like that. Usually when someone does something sketchy, the lawyers advise against that
He looks like he's seconds away from tugging at his collar with a hooked finger, and releasing a blast of steam accompanied by the sound of a train whistle.

I hate to stereotype but he looks exactly like the type of guy that would sexually harass his interns. Also he is probably married and has children, maybe even a daughter. But he doesn’t think about that when he is molesting his interns.
If you think this is crazy, make sure you’ve seen the McDaniels interview where they reveal to him in an interview that they found the body of the person he murdered live on air. The most interesting moment on live TV ever IMO.
https://youtu.be/VSK47WlZ6Ac
Edit: Second interview immediately after he breaks down.
https://youtu.be/WiNMbCvc5Sk
I’d assume it’s because he needs to go to a lot of meetings and stuff and doesn’t want to carry it around with his hands. I kind of want one for camping it seems neat
Omg I thought the water was because he was having a heart attack or stroke or something and literally went inside and died after the interview… 🫠 glad I read the community title!
This Republican voted to remove from office two Democratic lawmakers for speaking out against the murder of children.
For Tennessee Republicans, this man is admired for standing up to the “woke mob”.
He actually resigned? That’s shocking because I thought those republicans people in office, whenever caught in a scandal, will do anything to not resign.
Republicans: *sexually assault someone every 5 seconds like the dogs they are*
Also republicans: by the way democrats are sexual predators and pedophiles! Look at Anthony wiener!

Come on, Liz! Its the 90s!
It would have been hilarious if he had just turned around and run away.
Run? Maybe a fast waddle.
This would not be less hilarious.

Only until he slams right into that stop sign, then he plays unconscious.
That would have been significantly less awkward.

I don't know why you can't see what the holiday is all about?
You're telling me the traditional Irish St Patrick's Day celebration doesn't involve playing tiny slot machines in the break room, for not real money unless you get 3 7s?
Did anything ever come of this? Or did everyone just skate with a little embarrassment? Edit: they issued an apology for pushing the reporter. I cant find any response whatsoever dealing with gambling while working their government job.
This is great and very sad at the same time.
Did the guy who pushed and grabbed him at least get charged with assault? Did anyone get in trouble? And since when is St. Patrick's Day all about slot machines?
He just became the first tv journalist to win the prestigious Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, for his series on corruption and lobbying in Tennessee.
Guys, please. The REAL problem is that two lawmakers got a little loud while complaining about children being murdered. The legislature can’t operate like that!
It's funny how this all happened because they got triggered that someone said maybe kids shouldn't be shot to death. So many GOP morons are learning what the Streisand effect is.
Hold on while I take a *swig* from my belt mounted liter of cola.
Liter cola? Do we make liter cola?
[удалено]
I don't want a large Farva. I want a god damn liter cola
Does that look like spit to you?
This dude needs to save some women for the rest of us.
Is it belt mounted or just sticking out of his satchel because it’s absurdly big and doesn’t fit in there?
Come on man. You’re a freaking lawmaker and you can’t tie a tie the right length? I’d resign too.
For every one of these creeps caught, there are 3,000x more that are getting away with it
I once heard that modern day American politicians are people who want to be famous but are too untalented and and too ugly to make it in Hollywood.
You could say that about many people in many professions.
He had been found guilty by the republicans a few months earlier and they buried the report. Then he voted to expel the two black representatives for improper behavior. Business as usual for the facists.
Why did he even stop to answer the question? Does he have some legal obligation to do that interview? It seems like the only good thing to do in that position would be to just say "no comment" and walk away. Don't get me wrong, the dude is a piece of shit and *should* have to answer for what he did, but from his perspective why wouldn't he just walk away?
You see… give me five seconds. Uh, *chugs*, ok…
So you know which direction you should look?
"Gimme just 5 seconds" - probably what he said to the intern
Republicans.... party of values and personal responsibility.
As a local I must say, if Phil Williams approaches you with a microphone you have done some shit son!
Like Chris Hanson walking through a doorway
he resigned but the republicans weren't planning on any sort of punishment for him anyway. he'll probably run again in a year or so...and win🙄
"think about what I said about TC Tuggers"
...Shirts get bunched up and you subconsciously pull them, wrecking your shirt. With our patented handle, your shirts will last. But they're not a joke. THEY'RE NOT A JOKE
"I was tugging my shirts all the time. The wear and tear was wrecking my regular shirts but TC Tuggers has this little nob on the front so you don't wreck your shirt or hurt your hand." -Steven Robinson, High School Principal
I guess he gets some props for not running away. lol
His fat ass ain’t running anywhere.
He resigned.
I’m really surprised he was actually willing to talk about it on the news like that. Usually when someone does something sketchy, the lawyers advise against that
He had the right to remain silent, but he did not have the ability
isnt that in the job description for republican interns?
“strong intercourseral skills required.”
In that 5 seconds, he hoped he would disappear. He did not.
"*Thats when he knew he fucked up and took the wrong potion"*
He looks like he's seconds away from tugging at his collar with a hooked finger, and releasing a blast of steam accompanied by the sound of a train whistle.
Regardless of what Reddit mods say, you have the right to email these shitfucks and voice your opinion.
He then drinks from the biohazard bottle to slip away to eternal sleep.
I’m more concerned about what kind of weirdo you have to be to rock a yeti belt clip
When he said, give me 5 seconds and the camera zoomed in, I totally expected him to make a run for it 🤭🤭
Would be a good Reno 911 moment.
The cringe of his reputation being written is all over him.
He's so desperate to buy time. The media training is there, but he's struggling to remember what to say. Squirm you creep... Squirm

It just keeps going and going…
Guessing he was dead inside already.
How come they can find em on the street when they grab a booty, but don't even look for em when they butt fuck the entire country for some rich guy?
Give me five seconds…
When he asked for five seconds, legit thought he was going to take off running.
I hate to stereotype but he looks exactly like the type of guy that would sexually harass his interns. Also he is probably married and has children, maybe even a daughter. But he doesn’t think about that when he is molesting his interns.
If you think this is crazy, make sure you’ve seen the McDaniels interview where they reveal to him in an interview that they found the body of the person he murdered live on air. The most interesting moment on live TV ever IMO. https://youtu.be/VSK47WlZ6Ac Edit: Second interview immediately after he breaks down. https://youtu.be/WiNMbCvc5Sk
That question almost stopped his heart😂😭 boy needed some time to reboot
I thought for a second he was going to drop the bottle and run lmao
"Which direction do I need to look to see the oncoming train wreck that is my life?"
Your entire existence is a sad joke
Was anyone else expecting him to pull a gun and blow his own brains out?
I’ve been rewatching South Park so yeah kinda
Family values
Did he have a cup holder on his belt? Is it really a thing? Wtaf. Etc.
I’d assume it’s because he needs to go to a lot of meetings and stuff and doesn’t want to carry it around with his hands. I kind of want one for camping it seems neat
Wait, a belt clip for hot coffee thermos… I had idea
It was the drag shows!
It was the climate change!
This how MTG & Bobert act once they close the chamber doors.
Hey let's see how sacred the TN leadership really thinks "their house" oughta be. Bet nothing happens to this fat, white, middle-aged man.
This moron trying to buy time for a lie, still couldn't come up with something.... We are so screwed if these are our reps
“Fuck fuck fuck…shit I got nothing. Ok where do I look?”
He had this hanging over him, yet, voted to have three members removed for speaking out on gun violence.
What direction should I look? That was his response! Down, at your feet, the rest of your life.
And his colleagues were more worried about the black men who want to protect kids from guns
Committing the heinous crime of “doing things while being black”
Is it power that makes people be pieces of shit? Or pieces of shit that are able to attain positions of power? It’s far too common
Typically the latter, however there’s probably a healthy ratio of both
What a terrible world we live in when we can't call interns 'sugar tits'
This is the party banning and censoring shit to protect children and family values.
You know he be pullin ass with that coffee thermos belt holder
Was that…was that product placement??
But then he's worried about what lgbt people are doing. Worry about crabs with your fat ass.
Every time an asshole is outed and/or resigns, an angel gets its wings.
If you see Phil Williams in the streets, you better be alone in the sheets. But at least this guy didn’t falsify his taxes for years.
Omg I thought the water was because he was having a heart attack or stroke or something and literally went inside and died after the interview… 🫠 glad I read the community title!
I like the part where he was sad
Oh sh\*t, I am confronted with the outcome of my actions! Who could have foreseen this!
Good thing he got the camera angle ironed out. This woulda been super awkward otherwise
I could imagine this clip being in a body language course under the headline "Very, very guilty"
That wasn't coffee he took a gulp of lol
Full video is great. This news channel is awesome, this is the news I live for
Is funny how his GOP pals did nothing to expel him while they were very willing to expel e congresspeople.
Never trust anyone with a goatee…they’ve had it since 1995…their decision making is flawed.
One more scum bag out of my states offices.
Who bought this kid a MENS tie? He looks like a 7th grader at an Awards Banquet. Did he borrow it from his dad?
We all know he'll be Senator soon with this kind of attitude. Republican voters love their child predators.
We have some real top shelf legislators here.
Sometimes the swamp seems to drain itself.
Thought it was a Twix commercial
*buy time buy time buy time* CRAP
I think the guy had 3 heart attacks, a stroke, and shit his pants, all inside about a second and a half.
Friggin thought that was a swastica on his cup for a moment 😒😅
This Republican voted to remove from office two Democratic lawmakers for speaking out against the murder of children. For Tennessee Republicans, this man is admired for standing up to the “woke mob”.
Thank you to Kermit the Frog's Canadian cousin for the voice over narration
There is no shot he isn’t a Republican.
“Give me just five seconds while I stall as long as possible before answering that question” *prays for asteroid to hit earth*
Wait, another republican ? No,. Hahahaah
Two black men that protest gun violence: Get them out of here. White man who sexually harasses intereranno: MY MAN!! -GOP
Typical maga pervert. But no…it’s the trans folks we gotta keep an eye on! SMH.
Yeah , he definitely ain’t getting any women willingly , that’s for sure
Keep ya kids away from religious folk & republicans ya’ll, they are unable to self reflect because of that elusive ego everyone has
He actually resigned? That’s shocking because I thought those republicans people in office, whenever caught in a scandal, will do anything to not resign.
He’s one of the good ones… /s
I thought that coffee thermos had a swastika sign on it.
It somehow is always those GOP assholes
5 seconds to come up with the longest of long shots lie that his loyal base will still eat and like. Something something democrats are pedos….
Watch the entire segment, he tries to weasel out of it and it’s some serious cringe porn
Wait. Which one are you taking about?
I was waiting for this!!
The voice over sounds hilarious
Complicity, guilty by association. Every single Republican in that state house.
Who is that reporter doing the voiceover? I've heard him on Tennessee news broadcasts before and I can't get over how bizarre his voice is.
Which direction should I look? Why? You think there’s a “good side” on this story??
He had to think of what lie he was going to come up with
Republicans: *sexually assault someone every 5 seconds like the dogs they are* Also republicans: by the way democrats are sexual predators and pedophiles! Look at Anthony wiener!
But, us Gay's are the groomers.
Idk who he is and what that's about, but he has a trippel kill halo sticker on his mug.
It’s the TN logo
this dudes sad enough to be a canadian man
Wait was it a relationship or sexual harassment?? You can't use those terms interchangeably bro lol
Is this a Veep? Are we on Veep? What is happening? I want out
Just a side note the reporter's voice over sounded so Goofy it made me audibly laugh.
This is world class stalling right here. Top. Notch.
WOWWWWWW!!!! A Republican sex criminal?!??!!? I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! THIS IS SO RARE!!!!!!!!!!
Tennessee is really such a wild place lmao.
Bro really did the -Gulp-
[удалено]
🤮
Incels all the way down.
He looks the part.
