KTVQ television in Billings recently caught up with former Montana U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns, who is still unpacking boxes from his move to Billings from the nation’s capital. Three years ago, the Republican lost to Sen. Jon Tester by less than 3,600 votes. And he didn’t mince his words when criticizing President Barack Obama.
“He’s probably as close to being a pure socialist as any president that we’ve ever had,” Burns said.
