Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) on Thursday wrote a letter apologizing to Black constituents for opposing the Electoral College results, saying he didn't realize the attempt would cast doubt "on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities."
In a letter addressed to "My friends in North Tulsa" obtained by Tulsa World, Lankford acknowledges that his actions "caused a firestorm of suspicion among many of my friends, particularly in Black communities around the state. I was completely blindsided, but I also found a blind spot."
Lankford last month signed onto a letter from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) saying he would vote against the Electoral College results unless a commission was formed to provide a 10-day audit of President Trump's debunked claims of voter fraud.
He later backed down from attempts to continue the challenge after a mob of Trump supporters attacked the Capitol.

Here is another Leftist Republican trashing his constituents.
It is past time calling these pukes RINO's. Lankford and his ilk are now Leftists.

Lankford is historically a solid conservative. They must have worn him down to make this extorted ‘apology.’
Besides, how many of his complaining constituents actually voted for him, or would vote for him again?

These COWARDS are letting Corporations determine their fate.
They are more concerned with their political fortunes than the integrity of America and the Constitution.
