Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe can't stay in the shadows any longer [View all]
MSNBCs Chris Matthews retired this week after too many on-air and off-air comments about the relative attractiveness of female reporters, politicians and even former acting U.S. attorney general Sally Yates when she testified before the House Intelligence Committee in March 2017. When Matthews said his mea culpas, I remembered a similar instance with a member of Oklahomas congressional delegation.
At first, I was not entirely sure which person made the comment, but I knew who it was about: U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California. After that, it did not take much mind-racking to remember that the culprit was U.S. Sen. James Inhofe, the senior senator from Oklahoma.
On the morning of Aug. 2, 2018, Inhofe was in front of a safe crowd, holding a town hall meeting at Midwest City Chamber of Commerce, 5905 Prosper Blvd. An article in The Oklahoman later that day reported what he said.
Inhofe named four liberal senators believed to be considering a presidential run and said he originally favored Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders because he would be the easiest to beat but now believes Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., could be better for Republicans. Shes by far the best-looking one, Inhofe said to laughter.
