We have a new leader in the fight to turn Oklahoma into a modern-day theocracy that uses taxpayer dollars to proselytize Christian religious beliefs to Oklahoma students!
Yesterday afternoon, Kevin Stitt announced that he’s appointed Ben Lepak—a guy who looks like he buys himself Pepperidge Farms for Christmas—as his general counsel. He replaces Trevor Pemberton – the kid with the bow tie – who replaced the “Hot Girl Chloe Needs to Be Punished” lawyer.
You can check out the press release below.
When you do, remember that it doesn’t mention Ben is the son of State Rep. Mark Lepak and the brother of State Board of Education member Sarah Lepak—the QuikTrip attorney with no judicial experience who tried to sneak onto the Oklahoma Supreme Court in 2019 because her mom, Linda Lepak, served on the nominating commission.
It also doesn’t mention that he served on the State Charter School Board that tried to ram through a Catholic public school.
Basically, the release conveniently ignores the real reason Ben got the job—he’s an Oklahoma political nepo-baby who wants to help Stitt make Oklahoma a theocracy.
