Stitt is throwing a temper tantrum at the Capitol and positioning himself as Trump's mini-me's (DeSantis) mini-me. At this point, he's running for whatever office he's going for next instead of doing the business of Oklahoma's Governor. What's worse is Republicans have a super-majority in both houses and the Governor's office and this is all about letting their egos and their little pissing match over school funding and tax cuts. This is one that can't be put on "owning the libs" or anything.
This is the most ineffectual leadership I've seen in a LONG time in Oklahoma. That's really saying something.
