so, not content that the Supreme Court has twice recognised the establishment of the reservation, this wannabe-congressman wants it overturned. No doubt he has some support in this day and age.

"Congress needs to go back, and they need to de-establish the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation. I say once they do that, then they can carry on as they have, you know, all of these years," Bennett told the Washington Examiner this week.

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Tribes, which includes the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole and Muscogee Nations, said the anti-tribal rhetoric should not be welcome in Washington.

In a statement signed by each of the tribes' leaders, the group condemned Bennett's comments for ignoring ongoing efforts to expand criminal justice systems alongside state and federal partners.

They also say the call for a McGirt reversal is an attack on tribal sovereignty.

"Candidates who seek to restrict our rights and disestablish our reservations, after the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed twice that they have always existed, do not deserve to represent our state," read the letter.

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. went on to say on Twitter that Bennett's, "anti-Indian views — calling for the destruction of our reservations — reflect a 19th century mindset."

Bennett never explains -- at least, not in that article -- exactly what harm this reservation does.

Visit a few of them sometimes, and take a look around. Many are boondock ghettos, but that is the lifestyle they chose for themselves.

How would abolishing their reservation status improve things?

I would suggest someone send John Bennett, the former Chair of the Oklahoma's Republican Party a copy of An Indigenous People's History of The United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. However, it's apparent it would be a waste of time as it would require him to have the ability to not only read but, also, the ability to comprehend what he has read.

Bear in mind, this is the state that elected James "Snowball" Inhofe to the Senate five times.

They're not exactly bright people.

Here's another one who prefers white man's polished propagandized falsehoods over the true history of this nation.

Holy Fuck
Are we seriously believing “The White History” of “Indigenous” people?
Fuck! Columbus thought they were Indians and we all followed his lead for centuries
You Georgians.. and others.. are living on Cherokee land! I’d bet they had treaties before the land was taken from them, but why should Whites follow any LAWS.. even their own!!
Fuck
Own up for the history you fucking know is true!
But hey, if you can force for them all to drive to a polling place to vote, go ahead and steal their current rights as well!!
We stole their children, their language, in many cases their ability to procreate, but what the fuck? We believe in God and all people’s inalienable rights….. as long as they don’t have something we want!!!
