Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond just told a Tulsa audience that some of the people who share his party label are not real Republicans at all. They are fascists.
The remark came Monday night at a University of Tulsa forum hosted by the Tulsa Press Club. Drummond’s runoff opponent, former state Sen. Mike Mazzei, did not bother to show. That left the attorney general alone on stage to explain why he so often finds himself at odds with the right wing of the Oklahoma GOP.
“I aspire to be the governor of all. That sometimes draws me in sharp contrast with the extreme members of the Republican Party. But I don’t think they are real Republicans,” Drummond said. “I consider them more fascist.”
He went further. Politics, he claimed, is not a straight line. It is a circle. Go far enough right and you tip over the top and land on the other side. The implication was clear. The people who actually believe in secure borders, the Second Amendment, and an America First agenda have somehow become the enemy.
This is the same Gentner Drummond who donated to Joe Biden, cut checks to Oklahoma Democrats, and has said illegal aliens who “obey the law” can stay in the state and work through the system. Mazzei’s campaign wasted no time connecting the dots.
“Gentner Drummond’s decision to label some Republicans as fascists follows his liberal pattern of donating to Joe Biden, donating to 11 Oklahoma Democrats, and offering amnesty to illegal immigrants,” a Mazzei spokeswoman said. “Drummond calling Republicans fascists sounds exactly like Hillary Clinton calling Trump voters ‘deplorables.’”
President Trump has already called Drummond a “FAKE Republican” and a “Radical Left Dumocrat,” pointing to the family money that flowed to Biden and the Lincoln Project. Trump has thrown his full weight behind Mazzei, calling him a MAGA Warrior.
Congressman Josh Brecheen piled on as well, noting there is nothing extreme about securing the border or defending the right to keep and bear arms. Those are simply conservative principles. Calling the people who hold them fascists is another matter entirely.
Drummond spent the evening defending other positions that put him at odds with both Governor Kevin Stitt and the president. He has sued poultry companies, taken on insurers, and fought the proposed aluminum smelter in Inola. All of it fits a pattern. The man who wants to lead Oklahoma’s Republican Party keeps finding reasons to run against the base that actually votes Republican.
Scripture warns about this sort of thing. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
The warning still applies. When a candidate wearing the Republican brand stands up and labels the conservative wing of his own party fascist, voters have every right to ask whose side he is really on.
The runoff is August 25. Oklahoma conservatives now have a clearer picture of what Drummond thinks of them.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
