Based on his looks, you'd think it would be impossible for James Lankford to turn even more red and pasty than he already is, but here we are.
Earlier this week, our skeletal Senator swung by the US – Mexican border to lament that Joe Biden halted construction on the border fence. It's part of Lankford's attempt to show people on the far right that he's just as mad, nutty and racist as they are:
I visited the AZ border yesterday. You can see giant gaps in fence- it’s ridiculous it’s 95% done & won’t be completed. This is a problem created by Biden’s administration--stopping construction weakens effectiveness of the fencing structure and the technology. It makes no sense. pic.twitter.com/aiB2bdOx8r

I know I'm not an incompassionate conservative Senator facing primary challengers in my hardcore red state, but shouldn't Lankford be blaming the stupid bozo who thought wasting time and money on building a fence between two countries was an effective way to stop illegal immigration?
In a normal reality, the correct answer would be "Yes," but as we know, the Oklahoma political world is anything but normal.
Also, leave it to James Lankford to be the guy in the neighborhood who complains when a new homeowner doesn't finish the previous owner's vanity home improvement project. I bet when he was done recording the video he shot a second one for his wife where he complained about the lack of decorative landscaping around the fence posts.
