Pastor Challenges GOP Senator Who Changed Mind on Objecting to Joe Biden Win

A Tulsa pastor intends to challenge Senator James Lankford (R-OK) for the Republican nomination in 2022 after Lankford changed his mind and refused to object to President Joe Biden's Electoral College win.

Jackson Lahmeyer is pastor of Sheridan Christian Center and also runs several businesses in the state. He confirmed on Tuesday that he will mount a primary challenge to Lankford, according to the Associated Press (AP).

He's already won the endorsement of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The retired lieutenant general pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI twice and was later pardoned by former President Donald Trump. He'll travel to Tulsa next week to formally back Lahmeyer.

Lahmeyer is originally from Oklahoma's Rogers County and currently lives in Owasso, a city that straddles Rogers and Tulsa counties.

But that certainly doesn't mean Republicans are in disarray. No disarray. You're the disarray!
