Oklahoma GOP votes to censure Lankford over Senate border talks

The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution Saturday condemning and censuring Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) for his role as a chief negotiator in the Senate border security talks between Democrats and Republicans.

The resolution — a copy of which was posted on X, formerly Twitter — by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R) said, “Senator Lankford playing fast and loose with Democrats on our border policy not only disfranchises legal immigrants seeking citizenship but it also puts the safety and security of Americans in great danger.”

Senate negotiators have been working for weeks to negotiate a compromise on border and immigration policy that is meant to address the number of migrants who come across the U.S. border with Mexico.

  • OK has no foreign border, but they sure are xenophobic.

    • It's all white in OK

      • It isn't all white since America shoved half its indigenous population into Oklahoma.

        But it's still mostly white.

        • America shoved half its indigenous population into Oklahoma.

          The fact that the xenophobes are the ones that genocided the indigenous peoples of the land makes it so I can't tell if this whole political immigrant crisis is ironic or perfectly congruent.
