Why is Mayor G.T. Bynum in the Republican Party?

When President Donald Trump came to Tulsa on June 20, Bynum met him at the airport and then refused to join his campaign rally Downtown.

It was a great honor for Tulsa when Trump, also a Republican, chose Tulsa to restart his 2020 re-election campaign. Tulsa responded to the challenge of having a peaceful rally. Other cities, including Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta and others could not keep the peace. Reports say that Bynum actually considered denying permission for the Trump rally in Tulsa. That would have been political suicide for Bynum, who is up for re-election, had he done so.

G.T. Bynum is a Republican in name only (RINO). He is a promoter of homosexual rights. He favors raising taxes. Bynum has increased the city’s bonded indebtedness.

He is not a moral leader. If you look like a liberal Democrat, walk like a liberal Democrat and talk like a liberal Democrat, you are a liberal Democrat.

The Tulsa County Republican Party has a great conservative platform. Bynum probably has never read it and he certainly doesn’t follow it.

Bynum is a tool of the shadow government that runs Tulsa behind the scenes. It is peppered with third- and fourth generation oil families, many of whom are registered Republicans. This group used to be called “country club Republicans” but now they are “never Trumpers.”

The mayor should take a bold step and re-register as an Independent or a Democrat. Then he would have a legitimate excuse for turning his nose up to the visiting president of the United States.
