Oklahoma Senator Refuses To Back Down Over 'Misogynistic' Sex Joke About Kamala Harris

Oklahoma state senator Nathan Dahm refused to back down over misogynistic sex joke about Vice President Kamala Harris. Sen. Dahm stated on his twitter account on Friday that he had no plans on being "politically correct" and claimed to have been told that his jokes "are hilarious".

Dahm told Oklahoma City TV staton KTUL-TV about a bill proposing a ban on paper straws. "You can’t use a paper straw for a milkshake but maybe Kamala Harris could because of her vast experience, maybe she would be able to get that accomplished."

The state lawmaker explaining about the news release that he had issued on Earth Day said: "fall apart and turn to mush quicker than Joe Biden trying to string together a coherent sentence. They collapse like Mitt Romney under the slightest amount of pressure, and even with Kamala Harris...well, never mind."

Dahm claimed he was being an "equal opportunist" by mocking Biden and Romney. He said via his Harris joke, viewers could "figure out how she got trajection into politics." He was referring to unconfirmed rumors that the Vice President had advanced her career by dating influential men who could help her, rather than by her own accomplishments.

House Minority Leader Emily Virgin, a Democrat, called out Dahm's remarks as "despicable." "This is not the attitude or the feeling of the vast majority of people at the State Capitol," she said. Others who called out Dahm include State Senator Jessica Garvin, a Republican, Oklahoma state Rep. Ajay Pittman, a Democrat, and Senate Pro Tempore Greg Treat, a Republican.

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is facing severe scrutiny for not visiting the southern border as the number of migrants attempting to cross the border continues to intensify. The new role lets Harris lead efforts to address migration to the southern border amid rise in migrants traveling to the US. But she is yet to hold a formal press briefing regarding the crisis.

During the announcement of her appointment, Biden said that she would be in charge of working to return migrants to their home countries.

On Monday, Harris will have a virtual meeting with Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei to discuss the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border. She is also slated to visit the Northern Triangle region, which includes Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, in June.
