TL;DR Summary

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt is seeking the resignation of four county officials, including the sheriff, after a newspaper released an audio recording of them apparently discussing hit men and two holes being dug, as well as making racist comments about Black people. The recording was made by the newspaper's publisher, who left a voice-activated recorder in the room after a county commissioner's meeting. The FBI and Oklahoma Attorney General's Office are investigating the incident, and more than 100 people gathered outside the courthouse calling for the officials to resign.
