WHAT HAPPENS IN HENDERSON, NEVADA …
WHAT HAPPENS IN HENDERSON, NEVADA …
|| By FITSNEWS || According to Democratic leader Harry Reid – who recently announced his impending retirement from the U.S. Senate – the severe facial injuries (and broken ribs) he suffered on New Year’s Day were due to an exercise accident involving a resistance band.
“The band broke, and it catapulted me backwards onto one side,” Reid explained at the time. “I crashed into a series of cabinets we have and, fortunately, it missed my temple by just a little tiny bit and it hit me on my right eye and it broke a number of bones around my eye and broke four ribs.”
Is that really what happened, though?
A number of conspiracy theories have emerged related to Reid’s accident – which is finally beginning to receive some scrutiny from the mainstream media.
One national blogger who has been exploring the Reid saga is John Hinderaker of the PowerLine Blog. In his latest installment, Hinderaker offers an interesting counter-narrative for Reid’s injuries – an alleged fight between the powerful leader and his brother, Larry Reid.
According to the website, Larry Reid showed up at an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting on New Year’s Eve in Henderson, Nevada. He allegedly had “blood on his clothing” and a “swollen left hand.” He told attendees that he’d been in a fight with a family member – and was afraid the Secret Service was coming to get him.
No one at the meeting thought much of Larry Reid’s story until a month later, when his face was plastered all over the news in connection with a Boulder City, Nevada driving under the influence/ battery/ weapons arrest.
At that point, several attendees at the AA meeting recognized him – and connected the timing of his appearance with the injuries sustained by Harry Reid.
One attendee at the meeting even told his story to a local television station – but was told the station wasn’t interested.
Hmmmmm …
Like that local station, we’re not especially interested in what happened to Harry Reid on New Year’s Eve/ Day, either … although it’s interesting how quickly and dutifully the mainstream media accepted the Senator’s version of events regarding the injuries he sustained.
No, we’re far more interested in the media’s failure to explore his Yucca conspiracy with U.S. president Barack Obama – which has exposed taxpayers (especially South Carolina taxpayers) to serious injury.
That’s the mystery we believe needs to be investigated
Personally, I enjoyed the story where the mafia beat him up more than this one, but whatever.
It happened in 2010 and again in 2015 and Harry never did sue the pants off the exercise equipment maker. Dontchknow?
Ping - the brother did it.
Were that really true, there would be personal-injury lawyers lined-up around the block wanting to sue the manufacturer.
Soooo his brothers name is treadmill?
I’d like to buy Larry Reid a drink. :)
I’d enjoy this a little more if we found out it was Mitt Romney who kicked Harry’s corrupt a$$.
Wasn’t Harry also the basis for the corrupt Nevada Gaming Commissioner character in both the Godfather and Casino movies...?
Not as much fun as if the mob got to him but, I still love looking at that beat up face!
The Mormans did it for lying about Romney’s tax returns.
Why would Mitt do something like that? He and Harry are big buds.
Wear a wire when you buy that drink. You’ll no doubt have enough material to write an entire book
WOW sound like my Alaskan relatives parties LOL!

Just goes to prove, the only boxing Harry Reid ever did was for Apples and Oranges...
No. His brother’s name is Holmes....Mobile Homes...
One of the caveats of AA, is not revealing what is said during meetings. It’s the Bill W version of What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
Yeah, I’d like to know the name of the exercise equipment because I surely wouldn’t buy that brand...EVER
