Reid used his position as the most powerful man in the Senate to knowingly lie about a political opponent, going as far to suggest that opponent may have done something illegal.Įvery time you think Sen. Reid finally admitted he made the entire thing up! In other words, Sen. Years later, after Romney lost the election, Sen. Reid then shifted the burden to Romney to “prove that he has paid taxes.” Reid again took to the floor of the United States Senate to claim, “The word is out that hasn’t paid any taxes for ten years.” Sen. Reid’s reaction to Bannon also brings back reminders of how he treated 2012 Repubican Presidential nominee Mitt Romeny.ĭuring the 2012 presidential campaign, Sen.
Dershowitz also pointed out the highly criticized article “Bill Kristol Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew” was even written by Jewish author, David Horowitz. In an interview wth, Dershowitz said has not “seen any evidence of anti-Semitism at Breitbart or from Bannon. Lest you think it is only conservative learning folks coming to Bannon’s defense, the much more liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz also expressed similar sentiments to those of Shapiro regarding the reaction to Bannon’s hiring. They claim that he’s personally anti-Semitic and racist and a white nationalist and anti-Israel, without evidence.” “No, they have to claim that he’s Goebbels. or that he pandered to the despicable alt-right at Breitbart News and mainstreamed them by doing so (he did),” Shapiro added. “It’s not enough to say that Steve is a nasty human being (he is). Shapiro previously worked for Bannon for a number of years at Breitbart. In fact, you’ll probably be shocked to see they sort of came to Bannon’s defense.įirst, conservative writer and host Ben Shapiro, wrote in an article on Wednesday saying, although he disapproves of some of Bannon’s choices, “the allegations they’ve made about Bannon are unsupported by evidence.” Reid’s remarks about Bannon (as well some similar statement by CNN commentators and the SPLC) were dismissed as over the top by a pair of high profile commentators who are not exactly strong allies on most political issues. Sen. Reid said the appointment of Bannon shows Trump’s willingness to “plac a champion of white supremacists a step away from the Oval Office.” He also referred to Bannon as “a champion of racial division” who is about the become the chief strategist in a Trump White House. Most recently, Senator Reid took to the floor of the United States Senate and directly addressed Trump’s decision to move Breitbart News executive Steven Bannon from his campaign team to his White House team. The answer: Reid (and all members of Congress) are basically immune from legal action for statements made in the course of the legislative process - whether on the floor of the Senate or in committee hearings.
Some might question why nothing has been done about this? Especially since we’ve now elected a President who is not at all shy about threatening/taking legal action. Reid has made numerous comments that are at the very least borderline defamatory about Donald Trump and members of his campaign team. Reid has become the chief bomb thrower from the Democratic Party. Perhaps as a result of knowing he’ll never be on another ballot, Sen. Throughout the lengthy 2016 election campaign retiring Nevada Senator Harry Reid has decided to become even more shameless than many thought possible, even for him.
