The governor of Oklahoma is calling on four McCurtain County officials to resign after the release of a secret audio recording that allegedly captured them making racist remarks about lynching Black people and talking about killing journalists
The McCurtain Gazette-News over the weekend published the audio it said was recorded following a Board of Commissioners meeting on March 6. The paper said the audio of the meeting was legally obtained, but the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it was illegally recorded and is investigating. The sheriff’s office also said it believes the recording had been altered.
” Jennings replied that his father was once upset by something the newspaper published and “started to go down there and just kill him,” according to the Gazette-News. “I know where two big, deep holes are here if you ever need them,” Jennings allegedly said. Clardy, the sheriff, allegedly said he had the equipment. “I’ve got an excavator,” Clardy is accused of saying during the discussion. “Well, these are already pre-dug,” Jennings allegedly said.
