Make sure to cross out “Oklahoma Governor banned from YouTube for promoting animal cruelty” from your 2023 Oklahoma Idiocracy Bingo Card.
As you may recall, Kevin Stitt made international news last week when a video of him supporting the Oklahoma Game Fowl Organization – the grassroots right-wing hillbilly group looking to overturn the will of the Oklahoma people and decriminalize cockfighting – was strutted around the Internet by animal rights activists.
Like all the other times Stitt makes national news, it was a pretty embarrassing moment for a state that specializes in embarrassing moments. To make the situation even more cringe, absurd, and newsworthy, YouTube then removed the video for violating its policy against promoting animal cruelty.
