While Stitt alluded to reducing redundancy in publishing national COVID-19 statistics as the reason he decided to decline the reports, we think there’s more to it than that. Here are the 7 real reasons why Governor Stitt wants to keep the COVID-19 reports secret!
Stitt has really gotten into “Rage Against the Machine” lately
He’s taken to heart so much of Rage’s lyrics that he’s applying the phrase,” f*ck you I won’t do what you tell me” to just about anything he perceives to be the establishment nowadays, including the White House Task Force. He has also forgotten that he was elected to the establishment about three years ago.
He might actually be looking out for us here. Because by how wonky tonk 2020 was, I would not be surprised if the White House Coronavirus Task Force Report found that COVID-19 was brought to earth by aliens from Magrathea. Stitt at least knows that some of us are still recovering from New Years weekend hangovers, so we're not all in a mental state to process that information.
He doesn’t need no stinking federal report to run his state! By refusing to make public the weekly White House Task Force report recommendations, Kevin Stitt is showing Oklahomans that he knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to navigating the pandemic… and that is intentionally burying criticisms and shirking the responsibility of his office.
