Stitt of Wrath: Governor Bans State-Funded Travel to California

11:45 AM EST on January 24, 2020

With his gubernatorial honeymoon officially over – and while taking heat and criticism from all sides of the political establishment for the clumsy way he's dealt with Native American tribes on the gaming compact – Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt has turned to a tried and true Republican method to save face and garner support: pandering to pro-life folks.

Yesterday afternoon, Governor Stitt signed an executive order banning all "non-essential" state funded travel to California. The ban was in response to California banning travel to Oklahoma for the draconian, unconstitutional legislation our lawmakers routinely pass in an effort to ban abortion.
