Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt called for an investigation and the resignations of several county officials after a newspaper published surreptitiously recorded comments in which the officials allegedly discussed killing two of its reporters

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt called for the resignations of several officials of a county in the southeast corner of the state after a newspaper published surreptitiously recorded comments in which the officials allegedly discussed killing two of its reporters and expressed nostalgia for past decades when Black people were frequently lynched.

Audio of parts of the conversation, which took place after a public meeting of McCurtain County Commissioners on March 6, was published by the McCurtain Gazette-News, which left a recording device in the meeting room, according to the newspaper. The publisher and his son, both of whom write for the paper, were the subject of the comments about killing reporters, the newspaper said.
