With a special session of the legislature three days away, House Minority Leader Karen Camper, D-Memphis, says the timing is right for a resolution condemning neo-Nazis and white nationalists, the Daily Memphian reports. Camper said she will support a resolution by Rep. John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, calling out 37 white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups. The measure urges law enforcement to recognize them as terrorist organizations and go after their criminal elements with the “same fervor” they would other terrorist groups to protect the country. Clemmons’ resolution failed in a subcommittee in 2018 after failing to receive enough support to open discussion.
