"Diamond Jim" Bunning shows the true face of the Republican Party to America.
Sen. Jim Bunning has left dozens of infrastructure projects on hold and put thousands of federal transportation workers temporarily out of work, but he is sticking to his guns, despite withering criticism from the White House and his Democratic opponents.
Jim Bunning rebuffs Jonathan Karl, refuses to discuss unemployment benefits.
Bunning, the Kentucky Republican, decided last week to block a bill that would extend government funding of highway and transit programs and unemployment benefits for 400,000 Americans, among other programs.
He has been critical of the bill's $10 billion price tag and its potential to add to the national debt.
Earlier today, Bunning refused to answer questions from ABC News, even flipping his middle finger at a producer trying to catch up with him from behind.
