Reid On Bunning: The GOP Has 'Gone Too Far'

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters today that Sen. Jim Bunning's (R-KY) blocking of a bill to extend employment benefits has taken GOP obstructionism "too far."

Bunning's reason for blocking the bill is "without any foundation of fact," Reid said.

"Now [Bunning] is out there lecturing the country on pay-go, something he didn't vote for," Reid told reporters after his weekly lunch with Senate Democrats. Reid also scolded Bunning for supporting tax cuts and two wars that added to the deficit.

Reid said the GOP has "gone too far" and is hurting thousands of Americans with obstruction.

"If there were ever an emergency this is it," Reid said.
