I am Emmett Till’s cousin, I am running for US Congress in Oklahoma, and you will not hear me say I deserve this seat because of that relation.
However, with today’s manufactured attacks on CRT I am painfully and continuously reminded that this is an attempt to erase our history

Emmett was kidnapped at 14 years old, tortured, castrated, shot, and had his body thrown into a River tied to a metal fan so that his body wouldn’t be recovered
Tory is “maybe” going to go to jail for a few years after losing a case within the Justice system. That’s not lynching

Actually first cousins, twice removed because his father and my great grandfather were brothers.
It’s wild that people say such crazy things and then double down on it. Still believing Tory is innocent is it’s own thing, but comparing him to Emmett is just ridiculous. Be better
Y’all really think I care that Emmett Till’s (3rd or 4th) cousin came at me over a tweet?!? Nahhh y’all really don’t understand thick skin. But continue on…I ain’t lying y’all no mind

A lot of her fear tactics rely on you not actually researching anything. She obviously thought this was Facebook and not Twitter…
A tax on people who make $400,000+ may affect her, but it doesn’t the majority of Oklahomans.
You can't make this up. During a recession and a crushing economic downturn, Democrats are proposing their reconciliation bill, which includes billions in new spending and tax hikes that will mostly impact low- and middle-class Americans.
