In a nice effort to remind everyone they exist before the world checks out for the end-of-year holidays, Oklahoma Democrats renewed their noble, never-going-to-happen fantasy to impeach Ryan Walters.
Here’s a tweet the powerless, super-minority House Democrats tweeted out today calling for a “bipartisan” committee to investigate impeachment charges:
House Democrats renewed our formal request to the Speaker of the House to use his authority to create a special bipartisan House committee to investigate whether sufficient grounds exist for the House to exercise its constitutional power to impeach the State Superintendent. pic.twitter.com/ux0QTuzMmL

On one hand, I guess you can’t blame the House Democrats for giving this the old woke college try.
They have nothing to lose by making a rational plea for moderate conservatives to do their job, band together, and investigate whether or not the gleefully incompetent fool who’s trying to destroy Oklahoma public education from the inside by doing things like rejecting federal grant funding deserves to be impeached or not.
Sure, there’s no way in hell moderate conservatives would dare cross the Moron Moms For Liberty Prager U Prayer In School Choice brigade and risk being primaried, but just like how moderate conservatives have to pander to their base for attention by demanding prayer in school or banning no-fault divorce or arming crossing guards, Democrats sometimes have to do the same thing.
