Rep. Cole: Sequestration spending cuts ‘need to take place’

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., is pushing a new kind of redistribution. Cole said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that sequestration “is going to happen,” but he is open to redistributing the cuts to make sure they are targeted to wasteful spending.

“This thing looks like it’s not going to be avoided,” said host Joe Scarborough. “It’s a very blunt crude instrument, but it’s all we have right now.”
