Coburn "Disgusted" With the Media
Politico reports:
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on Sunday accused the media of creating a "false premise" in raising the issue of whether incendiary political rhetoric is at fault for the Jan. 8 shooting in Arizona, calling the question a "false premise."
"I've pretty well been disgusted by all the media, right and left, after this episode," Coburn said during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"Because what it does is raises and says there's a connection" between harsh political discourse and the Arizona shooting, a claim now rejected by lawmakers in both parties, he said.
