Alas, he did say it apparently. It's all over our local news. Hubby asked me this morning, What's going on ? Doesn't he really want to win this? It does seem strange, but whatever, it's most unfortunate. The liberal is already ahead in the polls.
I'm not sure of the demographics of OK, but perhaps a little TRUTH, frankness, and non-PCness will energize the good people of the state.
My grandma is Choctaw Indian, she has pretty much said the same things about her people. She has said that she couldnt possibly continue to dwell on the past and wait for the government to give to her what she could go out and create on her own, she literally left the reservation over 50 years ago. Plus she is mad that so many choctaws of european blood are given tribal rights.
But saying that, I cant understand why a politician would say this, especially in Oklahoma, its what I would call career suicide.
