It is just amazing how Markwayne Mullin is so quick to blame others. Example: back around October 2020 Donald Trump made the statement “If I don’t get re-elected then gas prices will increase.” When gas prices started rising Markwayne started blaming Joe Biden. Next example as to how Markwayne plays the blame game is when California started having rolling blackouts, and as far as I remember no one died. But this past winter when Texas had people who died because the electrical grid in Texas had failed and collapsed, did Markwayne call out Greg Abbott or his other buddy Ted Cruz? Not a word was heard from Markwayne.

Now, let’s address another issue that Markwayne states he supports – “right to life.” If this is true, then why did Markwayne not speak out or introduce legislation to keep our babies from dying from COVID? Is the reason because their lives did not matter? They were already here, breathing and living, and some people chose not to get a vaccine, which might have helped keep those lives here.

Next is why hasn’t Markwayne introduced legislation to offer mental health services to those who have been bullied and to those who are being the bullies? No, nothing from Markwayne on these issues.

The next issue is what legislation has Markwayne sponsored or written to help keep our babies – who are just walking down the street, or riding in a car or are at home with their families or just attending schools – safe from gun violence? The only thing Markwayne has mentioned on this is that for school violence you need mental health treatment but to date nothing else from Markwayne.

Judges have ruled that you cannot stop individuals under age 21 from buying weapons. These judges stated individuals under age 21 fought in the Revolutionary War and other wars. Let me point out that yes they did, but their rifles and handguns were all single shot weapons and furthermore kids under 18 cannot have a hunting license until they complete a hunter safety course. Still nothing from Markwayne.

Now for the last issue, that being Markwayne does not provide answers to the people he is supposed to represent. Around 19 April 2020 I sent an e-mail to Markwayne asking two questions. Markwyne’s answer to those questions was just a political COVID form letter, which did not answer the questions. On 25 April 2022 I again contacted his office by telephone and asked the representative working for Markwayne to look into a different issue and asked how I would receive an answer to the questions and was told it would come by postal service. To date, still no answer.

Markwayne states “It’s an incredible honor and privilege to serve the communities.” Yet he has done nothing to show support for “the right to life.” So as an Oklahoma veteran and Oklahoma senior, Markwayne is not the representative or senator for me.
