Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) visited McAlester, Oklahoma last week and had some interesting comments about how he views gridlock in Washington D.C.
He went on to say that he is for gridlock in Congress.
“I love gridlock,” Coburn said. “I think we’re better off when we’re gridlocked because we’re not passing things.”
He also says he gets along well with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
Coburn then segued into his relationship with the Democratic leader of the U.S. Senate.
“I get along well with Harry Reid,” Coburn said, saying they have a great relationship.
However, Coburn said the media never reports that because “that doesn’t sell newspapers.”
