Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said Monday that he considers some “extreme” members of the Republican Party “fascist,” speaking at a Tulsa candidate forum his runoff opponent skipped.
Drummond, who faces former state Sen. Mike Mazzei in the Aug. 25 Republican gubernatorial runoff, made the remark at an Aug. 11 forum at the University of Tulsa’s Lorton Performance Center, where he fielded questions from Tulsa Press Club members, according to KJRH. Mazzei did not attend.
The attorney general framed the comment as part of his disagreements with other Republicans.
“I aspire to be the governor of all. That sometimes draws me in sharp contrast with the extreme members of the Republican Party. But I don’t think they are real Republicans,” Drummond said. “I consider them more fascist.”
Drummond added that his view of the political spectrum had shifted.
“I used to think politics was linear,” he said. “But frankly folks, it’s circular. So the further right you get, at some point you tip over the top and you come down on the other side.”
At the forum, Drummond also defended positions that break with Gov. Kevin Stitt and President Donald Trump, including his lawsuit against poultry corporations, suits against Allstate and State Farm, and his opposition to the Inola aluminum smelter project.
Mazzei’s campaign tied the “fascist” label to Drummond’s donation record.
“Gentner Drummond’s decision to label some Republicans as fascists follows his liberal pattern of donating to Joe Biden, donating to 11 Oklahoma Democrats, and offering amnesty to illegal immigrants,” she said. “Drummond calling Republicans fascists sounds exactly like Hillary Clinton calling Trump voters ‘deplorables.'”
Federal Election Commission records show Drummond, listed at Drummond Law in Tulsa, gave $1,000 to Biden for President in August 2020.

Gee, I wonder who Dummyond thinks is a fascist?
Oh, no, OK Republicans pick the very worst candidates nearly every time.
How do these donkeys in elephant costumes get so far into the election before their trunks get ripped off? We need Conservatives to start learning the woke script and run as donkeys. And if elected and sworn in say “Oh, did I forget to say I’m for strong borders, low taxes, removing regulation, and a strong military? My bad.”
Germany’s most infamous fascist movement—known
as Nazism (National Socialism)—arose following WW I.
It’s been postulated Adolf Hitler was inspired by Mussolini’s rise to facist power.
The Nazi Party took control of Germany in 1933 because severe economic collapse from the Great Depression, public anger over the Treaty of Versailles, weak democratic leadership, and political maneuvering allowed then-President Paul von Hindenburg to legally appoint Hitler as the powerful German Chancellor.
Demonstrating he really is ignorant about the definition of the word “Fascist”. (Or he is just pandering to the “popular” crowd!) Either way shows he’s unqualified for his current state government position as well as showing his political career has “peaked”.
Doesn’t this person know that fascism and nazism are leftist ideologies?
“I aspire to be the governor of all?” This is a lie. Drummond aspires to be the governor FOR Gentner Drummond. Always has. He will support anything that gets him elected. Had Trump endorsed him, he would have done a 180 and supported him until he was elected, then switched after his inauguration to supporting impeachment of Trump if he thought it would get more votes for him.
Trying to change the subject from the Dem’s DSA problem ? Let me know when the Republican are running “RFA” candidates.
Aren’t all professional politicians that way?
I suspect it is pure emotions. Like a woman. A “fascist” is anyone that points out he donates to Biden and homos.
OK name the individuals Gentler Drummond you separatist POS.
I doubt that the SPLC was the only leftist group promoting far right red herrings
Where the hell did they find this Nazi jerk?
Rino Depot. All the LEFTover trash.
This fellow talks like a RINO.
Or: a fascist is anyone the dems don’t like!
I wonder is he is related to the Pioneer Woman. She married a Drummond. Largest land owners in OK. Anyway he sounds like a real dick head.
To a degree, but he might be one of the worst.
Ugh. I’d been considering voting for him after seeing the debate. He actually made coherent arguments, where Mazzei came off as a total weasel who could articulate little beyond calling Drummond a liar every other sentence.
