Oklahoma Governor Mocks Challenger Over Facts

“In a debate Wednesday night between Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) and challenger Joy Hofmeister (D), the governor took issue with Hofmeister pointing out — accurately — the state’s violent crime problem,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Hofmeister: “So let’s talk about facts: The fact is, the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch than in New York or California. That’s a fact.”

“Stitt interrupted twice to protest that it wasn’t true. The moderator said that would need to be fact-checked. What was not shown at the debate was that Hofmeister was correct.”
