Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) has tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Stitt reportedly has no regrets about not mandating masks for his state’s nearly four million residents. (Daily News)
Stitt, a Republican ally of President Trump, reportedly chaired an official meeting Tuesday with a mask hanging around his neck and pointedly did not wear a mask when he attended the president’s poorly attended rally in Tulsa last month.
“Not thinking about a mask mandate at all,” Stitt told a journalist.

Oklahoma was initially spared by the pandemic but has been hit hard in the past month as the virus marches through the heartland.

As the virus marches through the heartland. May NOT be happening. Sabateurs at the Florida Dept. of Health put out FAKE 100% possitive results. 98% for Orlando when in reality it was 9.7% and it goes on and on. This is being done to ruin people’s lives and the Economy! Whoever has done this needs to spend a long time in jail. I’m possitive Florida is NOT the only state.
I agree, the “pandemic” is nothing more than fuel for the liberal/socialists/communist/marxists to use against Trump come November. They are telling us citizens they have power over us, hence the shutdown of America’s economic engine and the unemployment of millions of Americans after three years of economic prosperity under the tutelage of President Trump, and the “proclamation” that every American must wear a mask in public and come no closer than six feet, aka “social distancing”. I believe things are nowhere near as bad as the lame stream media continually screams they are!!! That is my opinion!
The claim now is that bunches of people have the virus BECAUSE THEY TESTED POSITIVE when they have NO symptoms. Sounds to me like the same people who claim we have GLOBAL WARMING when our lying eyes tell us that this year is not as hot as usual. Here in North Texas we have had TWO days of 100 or over. And the usual first day would have been July 1. it was not until July 12. So the idiots still believe. I just met one in a doctor’s waiting room. AMAZING. How do they believe in the face of the facts????? Because they WANT to believe.
Covid 19 is so far the 18th worst pandemic on record. And the other 17 did not have a lockdown, in spite of much higher death rates. Folks, it is all about politics and taking America DOWN.
This whole pandemic thing is a political play by the democrats and the NWO. Did anybody notice that a few DEMOCRATS went to CHINA just before the virus hit? Pelosi and a couple of others went to Wuhan.
Yes. they were paying for the virus. Just like they paid for the Steele Dossier.
Poorly attended rally???? 6000+ is considered poorly attended???
I agree. 6000 doesn’t sound like poorly attended to me. A lot better than the 20 that Biden got. The press continues with it’s onslaught of lies and deception. They are desperate to make their Communist agenda a reality. Only Trump stands in their way. Vote Republican or we are lost.
Especially when you see Biden’s with only 10 to 20 people there and most of those where media.
That was my exact reaction when I read the article…”poorly attended rally?” Sounds like a liberal hack wrote this. If Joe Biden gets 10 people in a room it makes positive news.
Exactly.
Has anyone not seen the reports out there that shows the virus tests can not be trusted to give a correct result? There have been nurses that have doubted the results and did fake tests and sent them in. In one 63% came back positive with NO ACTUAL TEST being done. In another fake tests 100% came back positive. They just dipped the swabs in saline or water and sent them in. Then you are supposed to believe your test is correct! It is ALL about numbers to control the people.
Correct I’ve seen the same test result issues. I think they should just quit testing like Obama did in 2009 during the H1N1 epidemic. Democrats will run with that but they were ok when Obama did it. It’s gonna run its course until there’s a vaccine and some people feel they need to get it. Remember none of the flu strains are cured they come back every year just like this one will. Everyone needs to chill and check all that information which in some cases have the same number of cases as the COVID19 does.
Ok..so he tested positive ..now he has immunity to the virus….what the hell did Tulsa have to do with anything….people are testing positive with or without the mask…
Could be a false test result, wouldn’t be anywhere near the first one.
I saw where there is a guy in the hospital sick with the virus who tested negative FOUR times.
Irene Grooms i bet if i was tested i would show up positive and i have only been out of my house a few times
Who on AAN staff wrote this article. For sure he/she is a Democrat. Otherwise how could he call it “poorly attended”. That is what you get from Democrats, media and RINOs. So I want you to comment about the last rally or the last TEN rallies that Biden had.
You are a jerk when you attack our man thus.
“………and pointedly did not wear a mask when he attended the president’s poorly attended rally in Tulsa last month.”
What is this nonsense – poorly attended rally? Who wrote that? Given the circumstances like media fear mongering along with BLM & ANTIFA blocking entrances and probably threatening attendees I would sat the attendance wasn’t bad at all.
Like 80% of all ppl that get infected by ‘Kung-Flu’ are either, asymptomatic, or manifest ‘mild flu-like symptoms’ let’s see libturd-politicians & fake news make ‘mountains outta molehills’…
My county in Alabama has had 5 deaths from the virus. Population, 33,150. The percentage of people getting the virus, “0.0017”. No “Stay home” order, Gov. just asked us to only make necessary trips. We did hold church services in the parking lot, in every other space. I just read yesterday only an “N95” mask if good. 2 layer cloth fair, paper masks poor. So, I still ask, “Will professionals like the university, tell me how long the virus survives in direct sunlight?”. I read the virus dies “In Minutes”, so how many? Our UV index is 10 or 11 in the afternoon! With heat index over 100 degrees in mid July! IF, I have a temperature or feel sick, I’ll wear a mask. They are “SUPPOSED” to be changed daily. People here wear the same one every day. Then it becomes a “Breeding” place! Since we have few building with elevators, no subways or taxis, or high rise apartment building with elevators, I’d thing that helps? One clue? Why are blacks only 27% of the population in Alabama, yet have as many cases as the whites who are 68%? I’d think there is something to be learned there???
False positives! They maybe targeting him and certain states/businesses with false positives and contaminated test kits.
