CLEVELAND – A Tennessee delegate known for making controversial remarks is concerned about Gov. Bill Haslam’s lack of support for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“A lot of (delegates) have said that they are let down with Bill Haslam – by him not helping out Donald Trump he’s practically supporting Hillary Clinton,” former state Sen. Stacey Campfield told The Tennessean on Monday.

Haslam has on occasion been critical of Trump. In June, the Knoxville Republican called recent attacks by Trump on GOP governors “not helpful.”
