Mark Jennings, McCurtain County Commissioner, has resigned following a report of him and other officials discussing killing reporters and lynching Black people. Governor Stitt called for Jennings' resignation, as well as the resignations of Sheriff Kevin Clardy and two other sheriff’s department employees, and has requested an investigation into the matter. Jennings' resignation letter was delivered to Governor Stitt and it is hoped that the investigation will bring to light the full extent of the incident and that justice will be served.
