Today on IHIP, we have a special guest.

We have Jasmine Thomas, who is from Oklahoma, and she is running for U.S. Senate against

Senator Booster Box, Mark Wayne Mullen, and we are so hopeful that your candidacy, your candidacy will take off.

And so tell tell us why you're running in Oklahoma.

Why are you brave enough as a young female to go against such a patriarchal nut job in

Mark Wayne Mullen?

So I have such a diverse background that I feel like I represent just about everyone that's in Oklahoma.

We have not had the representation in Oklahoma where that comes from being a woman, being a person of color, or just being a just overall Oklahomaan.

With my diverse background, because I'm black, white, Native American, I'm Chickasaw.

I'm also a woman.

I would be the first woman, but also the first person of color to ever hold this seat since statehood has even been enacted.

And with that being said, the bravery comes from just, I don't know, just showing up and just

saying, hey, we need this representation.

We need this diversity.

We need to be shown in a better light than what Mr.

And I call him mediocre white man, MWM, because

Mark Wayne Mullen. It definitely tracks. I mean, he's tried to fist fight people on the

floor of the Senate. Come on. Grow up. Act like a real person. We don't have to, we all know that you have to stand on a

booster box. We all know that you don't feel good about yourself, but you don't have to show it

in such a spectacular fashion on the floor of the Senate. It's absolutely, and now he's running

around saying Donald Trump isn't a racist despite every single indicator to the contrary

because he is a white male is an Indian and he thinks Trump's not a racist.
