If the goal is for the @officialOKGOP to beat @RepKendraHorn in November, then it& #39;s time for us to have a serious conversation. I worry that we are about to make a colossal mistake.
Thread. (I really wanted someone else to have already created this thread so I wouldn& #39;t have to!)

The next three tweets in this thread will be links to real news stories from solid news organizations in our state. They seem to be true; I& #39;d love for them to be false. If they are true, then I think we MUST nominate @stephaniebice to run against Rep Horn.
If you think lying about being a Native American disqualifies you from holding office (and we all did when @ewarren did it), then @NeeseForOK5 has a real problem. Seriously, this thread should stop here, but just in case this isn& #39;t enough to convince you. https://kfor.com/news/local/kfor-investigates-candidate-terry-neeses-claim-of-having-deep-roots-in-the-cherokee-nation/">https://kfor.com/news/loca...
Someone we may nominate recorded herself training her employees on how to lie and manipulate people. George W. Bush thought it disqualified her. He was right. Read the article, but more than that, listen to the tapes. https://www.readfrontier.org/stories/white-house-told-neese-to-withdraw-her-name-from-u-s-mint-position-after-the-discovery-of-training-tapes/">https://www.readfrontier.org/stories/w...
In case lying isn& #39;t a big deal to you, we will switch gears for #3. @NeeseForOK5 has been running a nonprofit where she and her company took almost all of the money for themselves. Again, I& #39;ll ask, are we really going to nominate her? https://www.news9.com/story/5f4056bd4d0e240bb573fa28/tax-records-show-congressional-candidate-terry-neese-profiting-from-nonprofith">https://www.news9.com/story/5f4...
To get the disclaimers out of the way, because I know the hate is about to flow in my direction. I don& #39;t live in CD5. Maybe that means this isn& #39;t any of my business. I do want to see the Republicans take back this seat in DC, so I& #39;m an interested observer. The stories stand.
I& #39;m also proud to have been supporting @stephaniebice from day 1. She is a friend, coworker and mentor. She is also a good human being and the kind of person that we should want serving in our government. This fact doesn& #39;t make the three stories above any less true or damaging.
Oklahoma has one of the biggest House races in the nation this year. @officialOKGOP will nominate our person for the race on Tuesday. I believe @stephaniebice can win. With these stories @NeeseForOK5 can& #39;t. It& #39;s that simple. Let me know what you think and retweet if you agree.
