“My words were inappropriate, buy my frustrations were real.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning to explain why he called the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) an “absolute a**hole”.
Fox host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Coburn, “What is it about Harry Reid that makes you so uncomfortable?” Coburn responded, that the senate is “not doing what it’s supposed to do.”
He added, “My words were inappropriate, but my frustrations are real. Our Founders designed the Senate to force consensus, and you can’t force consensus if you don’t allow amendments and you don’t allow people voices to be heard.”
