U.S. Republican @SenatorLankford of Oklahoma “apologized to Black Tulsans on Thursday for not recognizing that his involvement in questioning presidential election results would offend them.”
tulsaworld.com/news/local/gov…
“What I did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit,” he wrote.”
“... “I should have recognized how what I said and what I did could be interpreted by many of you,” he said. “I deeply regret my blindness to that perception, and for that I am sorry.”
