Demand that Senators Langford and Inhofe denounce Trump for praising Putin's invasion of Ukraine
On Tuesday February 22nd 2022, former president Donald Trump praised Putin's invasion of the Ukraine while on the Clay Davis and Buck Sexton show. Trump described Putin's invasion saying "This is genius!" "Oh that's wonderful" "How smart is that?" And again "You got to say that's pretty savvy." These remarks were made only hours after Putin declared eastern parts of Ukraine as independent states and ordered Russian troops into Ukraine, both acts in violation of international law. Putin's unprovoked invasion should not be the subject of praise and adoration from the lips of the former leader of the free world. Neither should a man who has used violence and murder to silence his political opponents be extolled for their "genius" by any representative of our government. These remarks are simply un-American and at a time of war they are also unpatriotic.
Oklahoma's US Senators have both spoken out condemning Putin's invasion, his violation of international law, and the resulting violence. But they have also been silent as the leader of their political party is publicly siding with Putin. They haven't addressed him directly, and they haven't addressed his sentiments in any indirect way either. If they cannot stand up to Trump and condemn his words, all their strong words against Putin will amount to nothing.
Putin can not be allowed to get away with this invasion, so it is imperative that the Western powers stand firmly united in our opposition of his actions. But of what use is the threat of sanctions when the former and potentially future president is praising the man those sanctions target? How can we expect Putin to take our threats seriously when just two years from now Trump could be elected and roll back all those sanctions? We can't.
We must stand united against Putin's invasion, and that means calling out and condemning dissenting voices like Trump. So it is imperative that our representatives stand up a denounce Trump's words for the un-American and unpatriotic sentiments that they are. Tell Senators Langford and Inhofe that they must act now or risk emboldened Putin later.

Why is this important?
We need you to sign this petition and share it with everybody you can. We must make our voices heard. Our Oklahoma Senators have cowtowed to Trump and Putin for far too long. They must see that there is a price to be paid for continued allegiance to a man who is publicly undermining US foreign policy and siding with our adversary. If we make some noise, newspapers and news shows may broadcast our demands, making it impossible for our Senators to continue hiding from their duty.
