Inhofe: Tea Party Group Making False Statements On His Position
Sen. Jim Inhofe says tea party group making false statement about him by Chris Casteel
The Tea Party Patriots, which has been heavily involved in the effort to defund Obamacare through a must-pass spending bill, has been sponsoring robocalls in Oklahoma saying that Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, plans to vote to advance that bill so Democrats can strip out the Obamacare language.
The group is wrong, Inhofe says.
Inhofe was one of the original backers of Sens. Ted Cruz, R-TX, and Mike Lee, R-UT, in their effort to use the spending bill to block Obamacare.
The Senate’s complex rules and procedures have actually put Cruz and Lee in the position this week of opposing a vote to advance a bill they actually support. It is a situation that has divided Republicans and prompted Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, to call it a farce.
Mr. Casteel,
It’s quite obvious that you as well as whatever “reporter” referenced in the NewsOK DID NOT watch Inhofe’s stmts on the floor.
Go back & listen for yourself; he referenced a group ‘POSING AS THE TEA PARTY’.
Actions such as these magnify the reason why most Americans distrust media.
