Lankford Running for Cover


Senator Lankford was running for cover this week after coming out with comments on a Tulsa area radio show that were damaging to President Trump and supporting Joe Biden. You can find the stories all over the internet but basically Lankford threatened to “step in” on Friday if Bide wasn't given the national security briefings on a continual basis. But Biden is clearly compromised thanks to the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, with China, Russian, and Ukraine, and lord knows what other countries.
 
The Oklahoma GOP Chairman, David McLain also posted a post on the official GOP Facebook page, a re post from the radio station that tried to do some damage control. The comments by the regular folks were not having it and they eviscerated Lankford like I have never seen a politician eviscerated, and on the official GOP Facebook page to boot.
 
David McLain owes Lankford a lot for bailing him out in June and July 2019 after McLain had blown through over $20,000 in the bank account that was sitting there when he came into office in May, plus another $20,000 in new credit card debt, plus tens of thousands of dollars more in unpaid utility bills, building lease, unpaid vendors, and even payroll that was due. Some say that Lankford might have enticed McLain into spending tens of thousands of dollars on unnecessary travel to obscure GOP functions, with an eye on getting McLain in trouble so he could bail him out and control the Oklahoma GOP using money. Yet McLain didn't need to take so many staff in his entourage, including his wife on some trips.
 
Word is that former Congressman and uber conservative Republican Jim Bridenstien is considering running for Lankford's post in 2022. Bridenstien had left office after Trump was elected to head NASA to fulfill a life long dream, not too uncommon from a former fighter pilot.
