Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, both Republicans, both posted tweets congratulating Biden and Harris.With the Democratic Party in control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the presidency, the Oklahoma Democratic Party is sharing a message of happiness.“I am excited about the ushering in of maturity and calmness,” said Alicia Andrews, the chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. “Just all kinds of emotions all over the place.”The Oklahoma GOP’s reaction, however, was starkly different. They released a full statement that can be read below.The statement said the party has “very deep concerns” and that there are “socialist and corporate fascist policies … that the Biden administration will attempt to implement deeper.”“That statement was just divisive rhetoric,” Andrews said.The statement continued, stating that the party will work to “ensure any unconstitutional policy or mandate stays out of our communities,” adding this will happen whether it’s an “unconstitutional policy and/or mandate currently in affect or still to come.”“We need to move forward, and we need to bond together to move forward,” Andrews said.KFOR reached out to the Oklahoma GOP for an on-camera interview.
