OU College Republicans hosted Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford in a socially distanced conference room at the Thurman J. White Forum building Thursday afternoon.
The hour-long event served as a Q&A for the roughly 30 students in attendance to discuss multiple issues looming in the U.S. and for the Republican party, including the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
Joseph Howard, international studies junior and OU College Republicans chairman, said he wanted to begin the Q&A with a question about the Jan. 6 riot since Lankford was the last person to speak in the senate chamber before the mob entered the capitol.
