We found another reason why it sucks to be a Democrat in Oklahoma – you’ll be openly discriminated against by your county government!
Thanks to a tip via the Ogle Mole Network, we’ve learned that Kirk Painter – a good ole’ boy Republican Grady County Commissioner – will ignore various citizen requests submitted by registered Democrats.
We know this because Kirk admitted to the discriminatory behavior that denies certain citizens equal rights under the law due to their political beliefs in a County Commissioners meeting on March 3rd, 2024.
While Kirk and the other two commissioners – Zachary Davis and Gary Bray – were motioning and signing permits and orders regarding speed limit changes, pipeline installations and other mundane county affairs, Painter looked around the room and said the words that every member of the press loves to hear in a recorded open meeting – ”I can say this with the newspaper people gone now…”
Then, instead of talking about where to bury journalists or what goes down at Mud Creek, Painter casually stated, to the giggles of his colleagues, that as long as someone is a Democrat, he won’t “worry about” certain requests because they’re all – malapropism alert – “self-deserving,” and that it’s “all for them” and “not for anyone else.”
You can hear his full discriminatory beliefs that make warped, sweeping judgments about constituents based on their political affiliation in the entire recording below:
