Bundy Roundup Dispute: One Month Later

Rancher Cliven Bundy stands at his ranch house Sunday, May 4, 2014, near Bunkerville.

The Nevada rancher who was criticized earlier this year for suggesting black people were better off as slaves is raising eyebrows again.

Cliven Bundy appears in a campaign ad to elect a black man to Congress, saying he ought to be able to say what he wants without being labeled a racist.

Third-party candidate Kamau Bakari appeared alongside Bundy and posted the video online last week. It's since attracted more than 50,000 views on YouTube.

Bakari is running against favored Democratic incumbent Rep. Dina Titus and Republican underdog Dr. Annette Teijeiro in the urban Las Vegas district.

The commercial features Bundy and Bakari clad as cowboys, lamenting political correctness. They challenge Attorney General Eric Holder and Titus to come to Las Vegas and talk about race and freedom in America.
