Sen. Harry Reid Eviscerates GOP Leaders In New York Times Exit Interview Asked whether any of his Republican counterparts could become president, outgoing Senate majority leader replies, 'Of what?'
By Dylan Stableford
Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blasted Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, his soon-to-be successor, and other Republicans, vowing Democrats will wage "a new battle" with the GOP when the Senate reconvenes on Jan. 6.
“Is there enough they can do to help Wall Street? I don’t think so. Big banks? I don’t think so,” Reid told the New York Times in an exit interview published Wednesday. “That’s where the new battle is going to be.”
The 75-year-old Nevada Democrat said Republicans are at odds with Americans when it comes to environmental protection laws.
“They want to eviscerate Clean Air, Clean Water, EPA,” Reid said.
Democrats lost control of the Senate during last month's midterm elections, losing a total of nine seats. Republicans now control both the House and Senate, where they will have a 54-44 majority. (Two members of the Senate are independents.)
Reid told the Times that he is willing to make compromises with Republican lawmakers but not simply to rack up political points.
"I’m happy to work with them,” Reid said of his GOP counterparts. “But I’m not going to throw middle-class America overboard.”

Coming from Reid, the irony is rich.
Idiot.
Well, the GOPe could certainly curtail the rustling going on in Nevada.....
“Exit Interview” my eye... Cue the “Hitler finds out” video.
The NYTimes loves every dictatorial bone in his body.
Curmudgeon
>> “They want to eviscerate Clean Air, Clean Water, EPA,” Reid said.
He likes that word, “eviscerate”.
Whereas I prefer “disembowel”.
Used in a sentence: “If we disembowel Harry Reid, there will be nothing at all left of him.”
Or: “You could disembowel AND decapitate Harry Reid with the same knife stroke.”
If that’s the attitude, Republicans need to play tit for tat. That would mean the democrats would be allowed about 20 amendments in total over the next two years.
You don't have to Harry...You and the rest of the democrats did that 4 years ago...
The people wanted democrats removed from power. Continuing to rage like this will only help us.
Now that he is no longer obstructing the Senate, Hopalong Harry will have more time to rustle cattle.
The macho-man rhetoric of the revolution continues.
(How absolutely maddening disgusting.)
IMHO
What a farcical statement. He sure hasn't worked with them for the last eight years.

This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes." |
eviscerates, like what happened to the RATS in the last election, the one that put him out power... that kind of eviscerate??? feh
Hey Harry you bitter old bitch, hurry up and die so I can crap on your grave.
You measley little lying hypocrite.
This brain-damaged dull normal saw the national rejection of his ideas from a front-row seat and he still doesn’t get it.
