“The Chinese party is actually in the United States in rural Oklahoma. And the worst that he [Biden] can come up with as a threat to democracy is his political opponent. That sends shivers down my spine.
“Every American should be concerned when the president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, considers his political opponent a threat to democracy. That’s a problem. Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves. Joe Biden should be ashamed.
“And the truth is the real threat to democracy are the policies of Joe Biden like the open border that’s destroying this country. It is poisoning the bloodline in this country because we are allowing illegals to vote.” – Former Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon.
Since stepping down as Oklahoma Speaker, Shannon has launched multiple failed runs for the US Senate, most recently in 2022 when he lost the GOP primary to then-Rep. Markwayne Mullin by 26 points.
