RINO Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) has found himself again at the center of a political storm as an old deposition testimony resurfaced, coinciding with his involvement in a compromised uniparty border bill.
The senator, who has been a key player in pushing for the so-called “Invasion Authorization Act,” has faced a backlash over comments from a 2010 deposition suggesting his belief that a 13-year-old could consent to sex.
..... Snip.....
During his time as director of youth programming at Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center, a 13-year-old girl’s family brought a lawsuit against a 15-year-old boy for an alleged sexual assault at the camp Lankford oversaw.
Senator Lankford, before his tenure in Congress, testified under oath that he believes your 13-year-old kid can consent to sex. This statement stands in stark contrast to Oklahoma law, where the age of consent is 16, with a close-age exemption for minors between 14 and 17, leaving no legal provision for a 13-year-old’s consent.
When challenged by the girl’s family attorney, Kenyatta Bethea, even within the context of his role as a father, Lankford reaffirmed his position.

He was just reelected. So he has no fear of retribution.
When did we get so many snakes in the GOP??
What a creep!
I’m no fan of Lankford’s immigration crap, but this story is ridiculous. A 15 year-old boy had sex with a 13 year-old girl with her 100% consent. Nobody is suggesting that young teens having sex is a great idea, but, yes, a 13 year-old can give consent. We have statutory rape laws that prohibit sex between adults and children,i.e., consent is not a defense. Sorry, but this story is just stupid.
Invasion Authorization Act?
Well they’re getting obvious in what they want now aren’t they?
That Lankford is one creepy looking SOB! Wouldn’t let him watch my grandkids….
And yesterday someone posted his dumb and dumber haircut from when he ran a church camp just before running for office. He looks like a child molesting retard.
I hope someone here has it.
It’s over for Lankford!“
They picked him to push this nightmare bill because he is a red state Senator who just got re-elected so he is safe. The fact is he is a treasonous scumbag.
Call his office and let him know what you think.

What a sick freak.
These p e do’s are becoming more and more bold. You can see how they are trying to make even talking about this more and more mainstream........
They don't hesitate to screw anything, especially the voters.
Yes, rather obvious, and “in your face” about it. They smell the dismantling of our Republic which this bill will complete.
Traitors, the whole lot of them!
The big question is why he wasn’t driven from office when he said it in 2010.
Lankford’s been a full member of the Cheap Labor Express for a long time. Look up his record on H1B visas: the Indian consulting companies have him bought and paid for.
Anybody who voted for that retard is stupider than him. What is with people voting for simpletons? Guy screams pedophile.
Teenagers have sex all the time, perhaps foolishly with emotional consequences, but it is almost always consensual. However what is now obvious is that Lankford is now permanently confined to the barbed wire lind RINO corral and will never play a significant role national politics.
When our choices are limited to Republican open-border perverts and Democrat open-border perverts, it’s a 1775 moment in America.
These so-called Republicans are the Marxist Party’s best friends. Nothing less.
Where’s the opposition to this madness?! Are there any real men left? Will someone with guts and love of country stand up in the Senate and say, “Hell no!!!”
