I am nearly 70 years old and grew up in Oklahoma.
I was taught that science matters, newspapers provide news and I could trust what the doctors said.
Now, my U.S. senator tells me I am not an Oklahoman because I don’t belong to the same political party that he does.
I am told by the president that science is wrong and only he knows the truth and the way.
I am told that what I read is fake news.
Where are the leaders who will stand up to this rubbish of an administration?
Where are the Republicans who will say that science matters and that the deep state is the fake news?
Where are the leaders who will call out QAnon’s attempts to radicalize the people in this country?
Our governor talks about personal choice when it comes to masks but pushes the myth that Oklahoma is not a hot spot.
I want a leader in Oklahoma to stand up, shout out and say the conspiracy theories stop now.
Dianna Phillips, Sand Springs
