From the Washington Examiner:
Harry Reid, D-Nev. has no regrets about his 2012 claims that then presidential candidate Mitt Romney paid no taxes for 10 years.
The outgoing Senate Minority Leader even bragged to CNN that the comments, which had been described as McCarthyism, helped keep Romney from winning the election.
"They can call it whatever they want. Romney didn't win did he?" Reid said during a wide-ranging interview.
So, in Reid's world, it is perfectly acceptable to make a defamatory charge against an opponent to damage his campaign.
Reid first made the accusation against the former Massachusetts governor in a 2012 interview with the Huffington Post. At the time, Reid claimed that a Bain Capital investor told him Romney didn't pay taxes for the previous 10 years. This, Reid claimed, was why Romney hadn't released his tax returns....
Not only does Reid not think he did anything wrong, he's actually proud that his lies might have helped cost Romney the election.
Note: The Washington Post's fact checker gave Reid "4 Pinocchios" for his claims. PolitiFact gave the claim a "pants on fire" rating. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/harry-reid-is-proud-he-lied-about-mitt-romneys-taxes/article/2562300
So, according to Reid, the ends justify the means, even if it means slandering a fellow politician that Senile Reid disagrees with that.
It's a shame we still have almost 2 more years of Reid. With any luck, a monsoon rain will hit Vegas and the lightening will strike the ass hole dead.
An exercise machine tried to do Reid in, but sadly, it failed. So, maybe Mother Nature will do the trick.
