Dying people tend to show remorse and seek and offer forgiveness. Not Harry Reid. He is going out as the amoral liar he proved himself to be. He tore into Trump recently:
Harry Reid, the former Senate Majority Leader who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, has given a rare interview in which he compares a “weird” President Trump unfavorably to mafia bosses who “are really good with what they do.” He told The New York Times: “Trump is an interesting person. He is not immoral but is amoral. Amoral is when you shoot someone in the head, it doesn’t make a difference. No conscience.” When the writer Mark Leibovich suggested there was a hint of grudging respect in Reid’s words, he added: “I think he is without question the worst president we’ve ever had… We’ve had some bad ones, and there’s not even a close second to him.” Reid refused to say whether he backed his successor Chuck Schumer’s tactics in dealing with Trump. “I do not call Schumer,” he said. “I call him once in a while—not weekly… I talk to Nancy often. I love Nancy Pelosi.” The Times piece states, bluntly, that Reid “does not have long to live.”But if you'll remember, Reid lied his ass off about Mitt Romney.
Reid first made the accusationagainst 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 was he unrepentant about his lies, he was proud of them. Huffington Post:"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years!" Reid said. "Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain, but obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?"
A few days after the HuffPo interview, Reid made the same charge on the Senate floor, this time claiming as fact that Romney paid no taxes.
"As we know, he has refused to release his tax returns. If a person coming before this body wanted to be a Cabinet officer, he couldn't be if he had the same refusal Mitt Romney does about tax returns," Reid said. "So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not."

Harry Reid said he has no regrets for polarizing the Senate, attacking the Koch brothers, and falsely accusing Mitt Romney of not paying taxes.
Republicans have criticized Reid, who recently announced that he would not seek re-election in 2016, for hostile tactics that soured the environment on Capitol Hill.
The Senate minority leader dismissed claims that he is the problem with Washington and said he his proud of taking on the Koch brothers when no one else would.
Reid appeared to take some joy of being a part of the Democrat machine that took down Romney in 2012.
"Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t," Reid said on the Senate floor without any evidence to back his accusations.
When asked about his comments by CNN’s Dana Bash, Reid never rejected the notion his words were "McCarthyite" in nature. He admitted no wrongdoing.
"Well, they can call it whatever they want," Reid said. "Romney didn’t win, did he?"
Reid’s approach of the ends justifying the means is sure to upset many and is likely to further propel Reid’s reputation of being a dirty politician.
F-wad has no remorse for the years of abusing the American people. Burn in Hell b-hole Harry.
“Sickens me that I’ve lost and am currently losing good people in my life while this vile bastard is still breathing.”
I know what you mean. My daughter died at 29; my husband at 64; my brother at 58. I can’t think of words harsh enough to say about that POS. I hope there is a special place in Hell for him and his ilk.
Ditto.
This garbage human being will get no sympathy from me.
No Harry, that describes you perfectly. You are an evil piece of trash.
I see god chooses to inflict “Political” liars and thieves with cancer. Well Harry, when you get down there don’t forget to say hey to your ole pal John.
We have a bottle of champagne with Harry Reid’s name on it.
The bottle that used to have John McCain’s name on it was opened, emptied, and then used for target practice.
There are those who deserve a shallow resting spot in the desert.
harry is on the way out; he needs to make peace with God NOW. Instead, he is piling on more firewood to that which awaits him. Astounding!
I hope he remains as comfortable as he deserves.
Sounds like he’s now a McCain Democrat
Isn’t he due for his own Mormon planet?
Harry Reid got beat up by a rubber band. ‘nuf said.
Why do these dying politicians keep up their BS right up to death’s door? At that time, they should be enjoying their family and friends.
That pic reminds me of Moe Greene.
When was he diagnosed? that is one of the bad, bad, Cancers, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg survived it..so might old one eyed Harry...ya think?
Say hi to McCain when you get to meet the grim reaper Harry!!!!
Considering Harry Reid's many years of dealing with the gambling and real estate industry in Nevada, he does know the Mafia! I have never heard him condemn the Mafia!
Stupid leftist dummycrat! Pinky makes these flimsy charges against Trump but is too stupid to make up any phony facts to justify them. This is what I call living on the fantasy farm of the unicorn.
