Oklahoma statehouse candidate in 2013 called gay people 'worthy of death'

CARMEN FORMAN | USA TODAY
19 hours ago

OKLAHOMA CITY - Two Republican lawmakers in the running to represent Oklahoma City in the state House will be on the ballot Tuesday as they vie for the seat being vacated by Democratic state Rep. Collin Walke.

Republican Scott Esk, 56, who faces Gloria Banister in House District 87, has made headlines lately for old Facebook comments he made in which he wrote gay people are "worthy of death" and "we would be totally in the right" to stone them.

He has defended the comments that he made in 2013, which surfaced when he unsuccessfully ran for a different House seat in 2014.

When contacted this week, Esk complained about a 2014 article about him in The Oklahoman that he called a "hit piece," although he did not elaborate on the content of the story. Esk declined an interview about his campaign and directed The Oklahoman to videos he posted on his YouTube page.

"I've stood up for what is right in the past, and I intend to in the future and I am right now," he said. "That's got me in trouble. The media are not my friends, as far as I'm concerned."

Esk's old Facebook comments resurface

A self-employed courier who calls himself a Christian constitutionalist, Esk says he's passionate about protecting Oklahomans from an "out-of-control" federal government through state nullification.

I checked the Daily Oklahoman newspaper’s coverage this morning. They didn’t fact check ‘cuz she’s right and they don’t want to believe.

Pore Jud is daid,
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene
And serene!
Has everybody heard about the bird?

🎶Whut you goin' to do when a feller gits flirty,
And starts to talk purty? Whut you goin' to do?
S'posin' 'at he says 'at yer lips're like cherries,
Er roses, er berries? Whut you goin' to do?
S'posin' 'at he says 'at you're sweeter 'n cream,
And he's gotta have cream er die?
Whut you goin' to do when he talks that way,
Spit in his eye?
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,
Cain't seem to say it at all
I hate to disserpoint a beau
When he is payin' a call!
Fer a while I ack refined and cool,
A settin on the velveteen setee
Nen I think of thet ol' golden rule,
And do fer him what he would do fer me!
I cain't resist a Romeo
In a sombrero and chaps
Soon as I sit on their laps
Somethin' inside of me snaps
I cain't say no🎶
