RINO Senator James Lankford turning farther left - needs primary in 2028 UPDATE | Eastern NC Now

"Undocumented Democrat" Senator James Lankford (RINO-Oklahoma)'s turn to the left is accelerating after it became with his being the "Republican" stalking horse for the awful Biden border bill.  Lankford has now brought a certified leftwinger onto his Senate staff to head his "values team" which is supposed to push "conservative" principles.

James Arbo, Lankford's new staffer was previously a university professor who used Christian arguments to advance liberal positions.  He has been an ardent apologist for Critical Race Theory, a strong support of the Covid mandates, a supporter of gun control, a climate alarmist, and a supporter of open borders.  He is also openly anti-Trump.

ORIGINAL POST:

In 2024, Senator James Lankford (RINO-Oklahoma) was censured by the Oklahoma Republican Party, which publicly withdrew its support for him after he became the RINO frontman  for Biden's border bill.  The Biden - Lankford bill would have legitimized Biden's lawless policy of catch and release of illegal aliens, but with a cap of 5,000 per day or 1.8 million a year.  Lankford and Biden wanted to authorize the release into the US of 1.8 million unvetted illegal aliens who had not lawfully applied under our immigration laws every year and write that into law.

Even after Trump has proven in just a few months that the border can be secured and illegal immigration reduced to trickle simply by the will to implement the laws already on the books, that moron Lankford is still claiming that the Biden approach that he endorsed would have worked better than the Trump approach. 

This idiot Lankford is begging for a primary when he comes up again for election in 2028.
