OKC Republican mayor says 'bankrupt' party deserved Election Night rebuke

Oklahoma City Republican Mayor David Holt is castigating the GOP after Democrats swept Republicans in high-profile races across the country. His remarks were perhaps the sharpest condemnation leveled by a party insider after the midterm election in Oklahoma. "A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people," he said in a social media post on Election Night, after it became clear that the predicted blue wave was even stronger than expected. More: 5 things to know about midterm election results in Oklahoma While Republicans maintained control of all statewide offices and congressional seats in Oklahoma, the party recorded widespread losses elsewhere during the Nov. 3 election. In neighboring Texas and Kansas, Democrats claimed two U.S. Senate seats. "It is now time to make America good again," Holt said in his post. He said the results had "rejuvenated" the American experiment. Holt, who was first elected in 2018 and reelected in February, has been known to work across the political aisle as a leader of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He has condemned the Trump administration in the past, particularly the president's escalating immigration enforcement policies. He also was critical of President Donald Trump

Oklahoma imam calls out Mazzei ad using mosque photo to attack Munson

A local Muslim leader said he's disappointed with anti-Muslim rhetoric featured in an ad for an Oklahoma Republican gubernatorial candidate that contains negative views of his Democratic opponent. Imad Enchassi, senior imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, said a member of his mosque congregation initially alerted him to an ad released on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Mike Mazzei. He said the ad featured a 2024 selfie that he took with state Rep. Cyndi Munson, D-Norman, Mazzei's opponent in the Oklahoma gubernatorial race. Enchassi said Munson was among several visitors to his mosque when the photo was taken, so he was surprised to learn that it was featured in an ad that he felt was intended to show Munson in a negative light all because she visited a mosque and was pictured with an imam. More: Attention grows on Oklahoma governor's race between Mazzei, Munson The ad shows an image of Munson smiling at a board that says "To what extent Cyndi Munson is liberal" in Arabic, according to Enchassi. The imam's selfie is shown, while a narrator says "How liberal is Cyndi Munson?" A narrator on the ad made the assertion that Munson backs a terrorist group
