    Ah, Senator Lankford. He ran a church camp for children for many years called Falls Creek and preached there often. I’ve actually shaken his hand twice, both before and after he became Senator. He’s a dyed in the wool Christian and governs like it. This is also the same Senator who cowrote the bipartisan border bill that was tanked by Trump some months ago. To be clear, I’m not a fan. Just not surprised by this stance at all and figured some folks might like context.

        The first time, I was unfortunately still deep in the cult. I was on his side and then some. I was actually attending Falls Creek at the time. The second time, I met him in the Capitol as part of a large group and got to ask a few questions. Just wasn’t an appropriate venue to air grievances given the context, which I’d rather not share too much about to avoid identifying myself. I was also only just barely getting out of the other side of my Christianity, so still did not have the faculties about me to even pinpoint my own grievances.
