What makes me so sad is that Oklahoma and Kansas have such a bad reputation. Families who have been here for generations are some of the strongest and determined people I've ever know, sincere and with really good hearts. But most of the country just sees us as a bunch of stupid Repuke hicks.

It was heartbreaking to hear him talk about how affected this gentleman is decades after her death.
