Ryan Walters Says Governor Stitt Set Him Up With Nudes

An interesting strategy choice, alleging a conspiracy of character assassination led by Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt. We'll see how far Walters gets with that, but for now that's what he went with in a long press conference yesterday.

OKLAHOMA CITY – State Superintendent Ryan Walters on Tuesday suggested Oklahoma’s governor was behind allegations that pictures of nude women were seen on his office television.

He insisted that an investigation had cleared him of wrongdoing.

Without citing any evidence, Walters implied that fellow Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt had encouraged state Board of Education members to fabricate claims that they saw nude women on his television during the closed door meeting last week.

“The governor needs to answer the questions,” Walters said during a brief, hastily called press conference at the Capitol in which he only took a few questions. “Did he tell these board members to come in here and do this? Did you coordinate with them afterwards to set all this up after the fact when you couldn’t disrupt the meeting?”

He said he met Monday with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, and that they concluded none of his devices were connected to the television.

The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said that the probe into what happened during an State Department of Education executive session was in its early stages.
