More pathetic showboating from Lankford...

On March 26th the Tulsa World Online granted Senator Lankford's YouTube diatribe a showing of "what the Biden Administration doesn't want you to see!" Obviously, the Senator's hysterical video that anybody can view has not been hidden very well. Everyone acknowledges there is a serious problem at the border, but did the Senator make a single suggestion as to what to do about it? He did not.

The entire basis of the Trumpian policy was cruelty--make the situation more miserable by coming here than the miserable situation desperate people have fled. Presumably, mistreatment would halt the flow--the Trump administration theorized. Ripping young children from mothers, leaving folks to be preyed upon by gangsters on the other side--this was the Trump policy that Sen. Lankford was willing to undermine an election to continue.

Trump: "I, alone, can fix this!" "Mexico will pay for the wall!" Did that happen? No. Senator Lankford's solution not based on cruelty? None. His mission at the border? Scare people, blame Biden.

Come on, Senator, what IS your solution? Deflection and blaming others haven't seemed to work. How about another tax cut for the wealthy? More guns?

I will never forget that. I called him out over and over on Twitter for that, for all the good that would do. I consider him a disloyal American and told him as much.
