During the 2018 general assembly session, Clampitt was one of the only Republican members of the House of Representatives to cosponsor Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's Budget.

In late September 2021, it was revealed that Clampitt's name was among the some 38,000 people whose names appear on a membership roster of the Oath Keepers; a far-right anti-government militia, following a hack of the group's internal data. Records show that Clampitt has been on the Oath Keepers' roster since at least 2014. Clampitt is also a registered member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
