So many stories like this, I cant keep up. Some con here said these were outliers, they are not.
OKLAHOMA CITY - Two Republican lawmakers in the running to represent Oklahoma City in the state House will be on the ballot Tuesday as they vie for the seat being vacated by Democratic state Rep. Collin Walke.
Republican Scott Esk, 56, who faces Gloria Banister in House District 87, has made headlines lately for old Facebook comments he made in which he wrote gay people are "worthy of death" and "we would be totally in the right" to stone them.
He has defended the comments that he made in 2013, which surfaced when he unsuccessfully ran for a different House seat in 2014.
When contacted this week, Esk complained about a 2014 article about him in The Oklahoman that he called a "hit piece," although he did not elaborate on the content of the story. Esk declined an interview about his campaign and directed The Oklahoman to videos he posted on his YouTube page.
A self-employed courier who calls himself a Christian constitutionalist, Esk says he's passionate about protecting Oklahomans from an "out-of-control" federal government through state nullification.
White, check.
Conservative, check.
Male, check.
Republican, check.
All four...check.
