Gubernatorial Candidate Keeps Straight Face While Talking to Crazy People…

Out of all the “serious” people who have announced they are running for governor, the one we know the least about is former Oklahoma State Sen. Mike Mazzei.

A relative unknown outside of inner Oklahoma GOP political circles, he served in the Oklahoma State Senate from 2006 to 2018, and then made a super brief stop as Stitt’s budget director in 2019 and 2020. After all that, he faded out of the government and public eye and built a private financial planning business, before resurfacing this year with his own gubernatorial campaign.

Here’s one of them:

In all honesty, I don’t know a lot about Mike outside of the fact that he comes across as a stiff Oklahoma conservative.

I don’t know if he’s a good dude, or if he has what it takes to be a good governor – his big campaign pledge is to eliminate the property tax and bankrupt the state, so probably not – but he does appear to have one skill that is imperative for politicians to be successful in this idiocratic day and age – the ability to take stupid people seriously.

For example, check out this question he fielded at a town hall by an old lady asking about chemtrails, or I guess as they now call it, “the spraying of the skies.”

Seriously, let’s give this Mike guy some credit. It’s not easy to be asked a question about the government’s secret “spraying of the skies (yeeeeah!)” and not immediately say “are you fucking nuts?” He has the presence of mind to take the question seriously, pivot, and even kind of agree with her. That takes discipline and smarts, two skills needed to be governor.

“That’s nice and everything, Patrick, but what if he actually does agree with her and believes in that shit, too?”

Well, then he’ll probably be elected governor, and we’ll have a lot of fun stuff to write about in the future.

Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
