Two felons are removed from Clinton committee
Former legislator, activist were listed
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has revised its list of Tennessee supporters on its statewide steering committee to remove the names of two convicted felons.
The original list of more than 100 committee members had included former state House Majority Leader Tommy Burnett and West Tennessee Democratic Party activist Gladys Crain.
Both are familiar names, with familiar rap sheets, in Tennessee political circles. Both have been politically active for decades, both before and after their convictions.
"These individuals were mistakenly included on the list we released and are not members of our steering committee," Clinton spokesman Isaac Baker said Monday, in response to a phone call from a reporter asking why two felons were on the list. "We are proud of our support from every corner of Tennessee and will continue working hard for every vote."
Heh, heh. I bet you will. (Bold emphasis mine.-HH)
