Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that he “did what was necessary” in 2012 when he falsely accused Mitt Romney of not having paid his taxes for 10 years.

Reid was asked about those comments, which he made during a speech on the Senate floor, in response to call during a live interview on Las Vegas’ KNPR.

The caller asked Reid if he thought that “the brazen lie he told about Mitt Romney not pay his taxes has in anyway contributed to the fake news debate that we now find ourselves in.”

On lying about Romney, Harry Reid says, ““Romney didn’t win, did he?”

And in an interview with The Washington Post in September, Reid said that lying about Romney’s taxes on the Senate floor was “one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

Harry Reid says anonymous source told him Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years

Reid said, “His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son,”

Reid says, “I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for 10 years.”

Democrats are called “outpatients” around here. There’s a reason.

[ForYourChildren]

And the msm gave him all the air-time he wanted to spew his blatant false lie.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hmmmm..sounds like this lie cost Romney the election..never heard anyone in the Commie media say that Reid by spreading this story that he knew to be a LIE, meant that the whole 2012 election was void..of course not, when liberals lie its all for the common good dont ya know

[ForYourChildren]

So, in Reid’s world, it is perfectly acceptable to make a defamatory charge against an opponent to damage his campaign.

We should have learned from Harry’s lying about Romney to be able to see through these allegations against Ray Moore.

[Telepathic Intruder]

It’s like when scientists are caught lying about global warming. They say it’s justified because it spreads awareness.

Reid was asked about those comments, which he made during a speech on the Senate floor...

Which he did to inoculate himself from slander charges. And Harry Reid is all you need to know about democRats.

[ForYourChildren]

This was not a slip of the tongue, it was a calculated lie that Reid repeated several times in an attempt..

“I don’t regret that at all,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash on Tuesday in the interview clip above. “Romney didn’t win did he?”

So what mattered most to Reid was that Romney lost and Obama won.

when a Senate democratic leader spreads baseless allegations without a shred of evidence, and uses the Senate floor to do so, that’s one step too far. And what makes it even more egregious is that Reid seems to be proud of his actions.

Democrats and the msm pushing LIES. ALL LIES. They are proud of it!

So Harry, I guess your Christian Mormon faith does not include this: Exodus 20:16: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Correct me If I am wrong you evil bastard.
