Coburn made the comment during an event for the New York Young Republican Club, the newspaper reported.
"There's no comity with Harry Reid,” he said. “I think he's an absolute a--hole."
Coburn’s office did not respond to a request for comment about the remarks.
Coburn did compliment other Democrats in the Senate, specifically naming Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
"I have great relationships with Chuck Schumer. I don't say that in Oklahoma," he said.
Coburn has had sharp words for Reid in the past. Earlier this year, Coburn said Reid was a “failure” as a majority leader and had been “dishonest” with him.
The dustup came because Coburn accused Reid of breaking his promise to allow a vote on an amendment allowing gun owners to carry firearms in recreational areas during the gun control debate.
In 2012, Coburn apologized after calling Reid incompetent.
