Seems Lankford got an azzchewin....
It was all a simple misunderstanding of Lankford's intention...
Responding to an onslaught of criticism, Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford said he had proposed to replace Columbus Day with Juneteenth as an act of fiscal responsibility and that he was not trying to “rewrite history or join the mob.”
In a Facebook video posting late last week, Lankford said, “A lot of my staff and I did a lot of phone calls today just to be able to answer questions from a lot of mad people.
“Quite frankly, I’m not sure they’re mad at me, other than they’re just mad at everybody right now and frustrated because they’re watching our history get attacked as a nation. I’m not trying to attack our history. I’m trying to deal with our finances for the future, as well as to be able to honor our continued history.”
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain. He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored. Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep. Day after day they looked for land; They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand. October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew! “Indians! Indians!” Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But “India” the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice; They gave the sailors food and spice. Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he’d been told. He made the trip again and again, Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.
The republicans are no different than the democrats. They lie and use people for their votes and then stab them in the back repeatedly once elected. It will never change. We can call lankford all we want and nothing will change. He don’t care what we have to say. All he cares about is his career. When my wife and I voted this last time and we saw the results she said to me, “what’s the point of even voting anymore?” I said there ain’t one. Our vote will NEVER change things in this country. People that actually think it will are delusional. Our country is going down fast. And we will just sit here while it happens.Guys,
He is not only one. GOP is falling from the waist side, they claiming to have conservative views, but in reality they are just pandering for conservative vote. I think a lots of them are running scare of BLM and the Democrats/socialist base. In reality they don’t want loose the status quo. Don't forget to vote. Not everyone to claim to be a conservative is a conservative.
He's a politician.How can Langford say he wasn’t wanting to replace Columbus Day with Juneteenth when he cosponsored a bill to do exactly that?
