We have bad news, everyone. Our deadbeat dad is back from summer vacation and he’s not happy.
On Friday afternoon, a grumpy and jet-lagged Kevin Stitt resumed his duties as Oklahoma Governor in the only way he knows how – shitting on Oklahoma’s proud tribal nations.
In case you missed it, Governor Stitt – freshly stuffed with a bloated belly full of baguettes, sparkling wine and macarons – held a press conference on Friday to beg the Oklahoma Senate not to override his vetos of a pair of bills that would have extended various tax compacts with Oklahoma’s tribal nations.
He did this because, as we know, Kevin Stitt’s main hobby as Oklahoma Governor has been to wage political war on our tribal nations at every opportunity, perhaps as retribution for them trying to kick his family off their rolls over a century ago.
Of course, Kevin Stitt can’t come out and say that, so he has to try and justify his bizarre war with fearmongering, false calms, and long-winded warnings. You know, the way the GOP handles most of the things they’re against.
As Governor, it’s my duty to represent and protect the interests of all Oklahomans.

We must work together to find common ground that respects Tribal rights and the rights of Oklahomans. pic.twitter.com/UR0WppaAsj
