GOP Sen. Lankford Apologizes to Black Voters For Questioning Election Integrity


Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford is now apologizing for initially challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election after being accused of disenfranchising black voters.

Lankford was one of 11 senators who signed a letter penned by Sen. Ted Cruz last month announcing their intent to vote “no” on certifying Electoral College votes from certain states where Republicans had questioned election integrity. Following last Wednesday’s riots at the U.S. Capitol, Lankford backed down from his pledge, instead voting to accept the electoral votes in favor of Joe Biden.

Now, he’s apologizing for offending people by originally questioning the election results, saying he understands that some saw his challenge as an attempt to delegitimize votes cast by black Americans.

“What I did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit,” he wrote in his apology, in which he said he did not mean to “disenfranchise any voter or state.”

“After decades of fighting for voting rights, many Black friends in Oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote, for their vote to matter, and even a belief that their votes made an election in our country illegitimate,” he continued.

“I can assure you,my intent to give a voice to Oklahomans who had questions was never also an intent to diminish the voice of any Black American,” Lankford went on. “I should have recognized how what I said and what I did could be interpreted by many of you. I deeply regret my blindness to that perception, and for that I am sorry.”

That is like the 5th time in a day he has apologized.  SUPERCUCK

Well, fuck him, out he goes

What an idiot - NEVER apologize to the enemy.  

NOT ONE of those folks voted for him.  NOT ONE.

A man that cannot see this, that does not have the resolve to face the fire -- does not deserve the right to represent us.   Now go home and get your f*cking shinebox.  

There's no shortage of cowards and Peters in the Republican party in 2021.

This is why the party needs to die.

What a faggot ass pussy bitch.

Death to the GOP.

Dipshit, won't help him or anything.

Conjures up images I saw not to long ago in that video of the Chick-fil-a Chairman shining the shoes of that black guy. This Sen Lankford guy is worse because as a Senator for we the people he seems to have no real convictions what he stands for. I expected this from a politician in the lib states, not in OKlahoma. Hope he gets voted out.

He doesn't give a shit about his black constituents.  He just wants to get that Corporate donation PAC money coming back to him after all those woke corporations said they would stop donating to the campaigns of anyone who questioned the election integrity.

Expect more groveling from other Republicants.

I have yet to here what my GOP sens. did

LOL GOP voters got cucked for the past 12 years.

Welp, back to the drawling board.

Fuck that ginger haired Cuck.

Just when I thought I couldn't hate republicans anymore than I already do.  Watching them die off starting in the midterms is going to be therapeutic

Cucks gonna cuck.

Does the GOP have a common sperm bank that they use to get their wives pregnant?  I'm asking because none of them has any balls, but still have kids.

He should apologize to last summer's looters for having poorly stocked stores in advance of the festivities too while he's at it.

Because Black folks can't figure out how to register properly?
Sounds Racist to me!

...

Provide the name of the one that does...

WTF?... what does it have to do with black people?

fuggin' moran plays right into the hands of the leftist's propaganda... and for what benefit?... they all love him now?

idiot

Lankford is a disappointment.

All of them need to go

He is done in Oklahoma. I would sign a recall if it started.
