Honesty is a precious commodity when it comes to political leaders.

State School Superintendent Joy Hofmeister for years has been telling Oklahoma voters that she is a Republican. Now, as she decides to run for governor in 2022, she has finally revealed that she actually is a liberal Democrat.

About 20 years ago, liberal Democrats who wanted to run for public office in Oklahoma realized that they needed to lie to disguise their true positions on policies (and virtues). So, they slowly changed their registrations and altered their campaigns to make them look like “conservatives” and “people of faith.”

And a bunch got elected. They are sprinkled throughout the Oklahoma Legislature and some have risen to leadership.

That’s Hofmeister.

She ran as a Republican and operated as a liberal Democrat. She lied and lied.

Now, as Democrats are seizing power all over the nation, she has decided to stop that lie and to run for governor as a “moderate Democrat.” There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore. The socialist/communist wing of that party has taken over and the woke culture demands compliance from every American.

What else did Hofmeister lie about?

Is she for forced vaccinations for the Chinese coronavirus? Is she for open borders on our southern border? Is she in favor of the FBI cracking down on upset parents who ask to speak before local school boards? Does she support confiscatory taxation on the middle class? Will Hofmeister support the destruction of unborn babies? Will she back mandatory instruction of Critical Race Theory (an unveiled push for racism)?

Joy Hofmeister can no longer be trusted to tell the truth on any topic. Should she be elected, she could easily switch sides on any topic based on her new buddies in the Democrat National Committee or the Biden Administration.

Hopefully, Oklahoma voters will recognize this dishonesty and send  this progressive Democrat packing in 2022.
