Harry Reid to Rep. Alan Grayson: 'I want you to lose'
Politico ^ | 05/11/2016 | Burgess Everett and seung Min Kim

Rep. Alan Grayson angrily confronted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday, disrupting a meeting of the Congressional Progressive Caucus in front of dozens of staffers and members of Congress.

Grayson (D-Fla.), whose bid for the open Florida Senate seat Reid vehemently opposes, arrived at the meeting with Reid’s February statement in hand, according to two sources in the room. In that statement, Reid said Grayson has “no moral compass” and “used his status as a congressman to unethically promote his Cayman Islands hedge funds.”

...The Florida Senate candidate said in a statement afterward: “I have a low opinion of Reid’s low opinion.”

I saw The Hill's article on this posted here, this is Politico's take on it. Where's the Jiffy Pop when you need it?

Wow! When Harry Reid thinks you lack a moral compass, you darn well know you are of low character.

If Harry Reid thinks Grayson is criminal scum, then Grayson must be even worst than I thought. You have to admit. Harry Reid knows his crime. Both these scumbags deserve to die in prison.

So then I guess Reid must not want the competition.

I am surprised Grayson hasn’t sued Reid yet.

Harry just wants a Dem to win. He knows Grayson is a well-known nut. If he thought he would win, Reid would back him.

Sounded like Grayson was auditioning for a bad 70s gay porn movie; “say my name, Harry, say my name”

Yeah, you know you’re on the bottom of the septic tank when a useless old criminal turd, takes on a piece of rotten chicken $hit!

You just had to put that thought into our heads, didn't you. And me being all out of mind bleach to boot.

I believe in this case, it is just straight up derangement, no Trump needed.

Reid saying “he has no moral compass” is akin to a worm calling a nematode worthless.

Shameful lack of professional courtesy on Reid’s part...

Weird.

A democrat openly opposing another democrat based on “corruption” (and incompetence).

Then again, both are white. Males.

You will NEVER hear a democrat accuse ANY professional minority racist of being corrupt, nor ANY homeosexual of immoral or illegal acts.

Too bad that dueling has gone out of fashion. Grayson could have challenged Reid...
