The Patriot Post® · Harry Reid — Another Master of the BIG Lie

In 2012, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took to the Senate floor and made a serious and unsubstantiated allegation about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney: “Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t.” Reid knew this was a BIG Lie, which would gain traction for the Left’s class warfare game. Asked this week for his thoughts on that episode – specifically that his remarks had been called “McCarthyite” – Reid shrugged and replied, “Well, they can call it whatever they want. Romney didn’t win, did he?” Reid’s smug gloating is beyond unmitigated arrogance, and speaks volumes about the Left’s approach to politics. The ends always justify their means.
