Congratulations are in order for former Oklahoma lawmaker / US Flag wearer John Bennett!
Over the weekend, the Oklahoma GOP elected him – a famed right-wing Islamaphobic bigot from rural Oklahoma who reflects the party's extremist views and anti-American values – as their state party chair.
In his new role, Bennett will oversee the party's continued turn towards the alt-right, and help guarantee that only the finest white gun-owning Christians with racist leanings who want to overturn federal election results run for public office.
Here are the details via The AP:
A former state representative with a reputation for anti-Islamic rhetoric has been elected as chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party.
Former state Rep. John Bennett won a first-ballot victory at the party convention Saturday at the Oklahoma City Convention Center, vice chairman Shane Jemison said Sunday.
