At an Oklahoma town hall meeting, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) defended Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi against character
attacks from Fox News, reports Capitol News Connection.
While discussing his policy disagreements with Pelosi, Coburn said "she's
a nice lady," which brought hisses and hoots from the crowd.
Said Coburn: "Come on now. She is nice -- how many of you all have met her? She's a
nice person. Just because somebody disagrees with you doesn't mean they're not a
good person... So don't catch yourself being biased by Fox News that somebody is no
good. The people in Washington are good. They just don't know what they
don't know."
