Now that they’ve successfully teamed to clamp down on the rights of Oklahoma voters and limit the ability of the people to overcome the ineptitude, inaction, and incompetence of elected officials, Kevin Stitt and the Oklahoma Legislature are back to engaging in petty, personal, and very headline-generating political games.
Last week, following Governor Stitt’s record-breaking Veto-A-Thon 2025, the Legislature decided to confront his red-inked revenge and began overriding many of the vetoes he issued for totally valid reasons—like settling personal grudges, indulging in political spite, or acting on absurdly moronic ideological whims that ignored all context and reason.
As a result, a butt-hurt Stitt — a disillusioned man who thinks he has legitimate political weight and influence outside of his office and pocketbook — issued a Facebook video calling for the lawmakers who voted against his vetoes to be ousted from office.
Via The Tulsa World:
Around noon, as the House voted to override 27 of his vetoes and the Senate 18, Stitt used his official Facebook page to post a video calling on voters to oust legislators — most of whom were fellow Republicans — who voted for overrides.
Stitt portrayed himself as the champion of taxpayers and small government fighting moneyed interests and lobbyists, but all of the bills put back into play Thursday originally passed with large bipartisan majorities, and many dealt with fairly mundane subjects…
According to The World, Stitt’s bullying ploy seemed to work, as not long after the video hit the walls, one of his veto overrides failed.
