Paul Ryan: Markwayne Mullin Is ‘pure Oklahoma… in the best way possible.’
Randy Krehbiel: Rep. Paul Ryan assesses his Oklahoma colleagues
By RANDY KREHBIEL World Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is in Tulsa Monday promoting his book, “The Way Forward.” On Friday, I asked him for a quick assessment of Oklahoma’s five U.S. representatives.
Not surprisingly, the House Budget Committee Chairman had nothing bad to say about his fellow Republicans, but his comments were interesting.
Jim Bridenstine: “Very determined. Very earnest.
Markwayne Mullin: “I love him to death. … Very down-to-earth. … He is pure Oklahoma, and I mean that in the best way possible.”
Frank Lucas: “Good Leader. I didn’t think he’d be able to put that farm bill together, to be honest. That was an impossible task and he was able to do it.”
