What was he thinking?

Maybe he genuinely thinks it is not appropriate to have a statute in the capitol holding in reverence a regime that was founded primarily on the principle of white supremacy. Ever think of that?

But why stir up that controversy during a campaign?

Jefferson Davis is part of history. The confederacy isn't just about slavery; it's about states' rights and pride in ones culture and ancestors. Just as the Confederate flag is. I'm very uncomfortable with a horrific tragedy being used to erase history.
