After flyers appeared in Mt. Sterling and Paris appearing to promote services from the KKK, the same flyers have been found in Corbin.

    From this article about the arrests:

    On Thursday, TN Rep. Scott Cepicky (R-Culleoka), issued the following statement in response to reports of racist propaganda and criminal trespassing being reported in Maury County.

    “I am deeply disturbed by the vile actions of outsiders who have attempted to intimidate and threaten members of our community. This group does not represent Maury County nor the shared values that bring us together. Racism is a repulsive ideology that we will not tolerate. Next session, I will draft legislation to increase punishment for criminal trespassing as well as hate crimes in Tennessee. I strongly encourage anyone with information about these events to contact the Columbia Police Department.”

    That’s possibly the most un-Republican response to an event like this that I’ve ever seen. This guy is going to get branded a RINO and lose his seat if he’s not careful. ;-)
