A figure dressed in a sleek blue suit takes a seat at the near-empty conference table. Her face is painted in American colors, hiding the Oklahoma flag underneath. People with brushes and pads of foundation and blush flock to her, brushing her face and filling in any lacking spots with red, white, and blue.

The cameraman looks at her before peering into the camera. He holds up a hand.

She continues to read the teleprompter, focusing on keeping her tone even and fast, not registering any of the words.
