This seems heartfelt, and not just because there has been a backlash against the Republicans who stoked the seditionists on 1/6. I posted back then that Lankford seemed out of place with the Hawley, Cruz, Tuberville, Kennedy... trash. He is deeply conservative, but he is on LIb TV and NPR frequently. He’s released a very strong statement apologizing to members of the black community for his actions leading up to the coup attempt.
