State Rep. Joseph Silk (R-OK): Today’s “Lunatic” Award Winner
In 2014, Joey duped the voters in the greater Broken Bow area into electing him as a member of the Oklahoma State Senate.
In an effort to cement his status as a Raving Lunatic on the issue of abortions, Joey endeavors to pass legislation in Oklahoma that would have abortion classified as a felony homicide. (Aris Folley)
In support of his asinine legislation titled the “Abolition of Abortion in Oklahoma Act,” Joey said:
Joey’s legislation would order the state to totally ignore all decisions by the United States Supreme Court on abortion. Put simply, Joey wants the State of Oklahoma to tell the Supreme Court and its nine justices to “go screw yourself.”
Joey’s proposed legislation states in part:
Joey continued on with his loony rant in stating the legislation would have no exceptions for rape and incest by saying:

Hopefully, the voters in and around Broken Bow wake up and vote Joey out of office if he has the chutzpah to run for reelection.
As we speak (ca. December 2018), Joey continues to sit as a member of the Oklahoma State Senate. |
