1/5 “My intent to give a voice to Oklahomans who had questions was never also an intent to diminish the voice of any Black American.” @SenatorLankford what exactly did you think was going to happen when you sought to throw out the votes in Ga., MI. or Pa.? https://twitter.com/maddow/status/1349955786420715521
2/5 What did you hear exactly when we pleaded with you and your colleagues not to pursue this course of action? And while you ignored our plea, what evidence did you present to justify your decision to overturn this election?
3/5 And now you say “After decades of fighting for voting rights, many Black friends in Oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote.” And that reaction surprised you? Now, imagine taking the vote away from White Oklahomans, would you still be surprised?
4/5 After all of your “fighting for voting rights” (a) you didn’t think disenfranchising black voters in other states would be a problem with Black voters in OK? and (b) it didn’t occur to you to call one of your Black friends and ask? It’s not like the rest of us didn’t tell you
5/5 What is disheartening @SenatorLankford is you are known for your good work with Black Tulsans, but toeing the line for Trump was more important than your relationship with the Black community you represent. Like my mama would ask “so, what comes after “sorry”?
