Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he believes the supporters who rallied around Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy in his fight against the federal government are domestic terrorists and Bundy does not respect his country.
The Las Vegas Journal-Review reported that Reid, D-Nev., made the comments at an event Thursday hosted by the paper called Hashtags & Headlines.
Federal land managers backed down in a weekend standoff with Bundy after hundreds of states' rights protesters, including armed militia members, showed up to protest federal officials seizing his cattle. Some protesters had their guns drawn and pointed toward law enforcement, some of whom were also armed. But ultimately, no shots were fired and the Bureau of Land Management reported that officials left over safety concerns.
Reid had harsh words for these supporters, saying the government cannot stop pursuing the issue.
Theyre nothing more than domestic terrorists, Reid said, according to the paper. I repeat: what happened there was domestic terrorism.
Reid said he has been told a federal task force is being set up to deal with the Bundy situation, adding Bundy does not respect the U.S. or its laws.

Will someone please explain WHO in Nevada keeps voting him in? I honestly can’t figure that one out. Yeah, he has the money behind him..but WHO are his voters?
This f***in’ corrupt lunatic has got to go ;/
SEIU union employees.
FU Harry Red!
Yeah, he has the money behind him..but WHO are his voters?
****
The bused in illegal hotel workers. That’s who.
I think Harry is free to say what he wants about who he wants when he is in the Senate chamber. He can slander an liable anyone and has immunity. He lied about Romney paying taxes from the well of the Senate.
Damn right, what a great saying.
That’s exactly right, and a lot of those hotel workers are illegals.
The only domestic terrorist in this affair is Harry Reid. When is this bug up for reelection anyway? You know what though, forget that - Is is possible for the people to recall a Senator? The people of Nevada should get right on this dirtbags ass every single day, hire private detectives, whatever it takes to have every inch of his life investigated , just go door to door asking people to help kick this bum out on his ass. This guy is NOT a Senator, he is an enemy of the people. This is a public SERVANT who is attempting to make a servant of the people and he needs to GO NOW!
Senators and congressmen cannot be recalled. This has been litigated in both federal court (Idaho, 1967) and state court (New Jersey, 2013). You’ll either have to wait for the Grim Reaper or his next election.
I have not heard any other senators speak up against Harry Reid. Where are they? They must all support him.
We don’t have immunity from prosecution in this country for federal politicians AFAIK.
Liberal thugs need a dose of their own medicine, to boot.
Not even illegals but Harry himself as well. If this guy is clean I’m Santa Claus. Oh man, if I lived there and had the money I would be hiring private investigators, lawyers, to go over inch of this sc*mbags business dealings and life, investigating his election returns wouldn’t be a bad idea as well. I can’t believe the people of Nevada would willingly and knowingly vote for this bug. There can’t be THAT many union members to overtake the public when it comes to elections. Something really stinks with this idiot and he needs to be exposed. The people don’t need to take to the streets to rebel, there are many other ways to bring down a bug like this d-bag. Wouldn’t it be something if they found some really nasty illegal dealing with him like taking bribes, get it all on video, and he gets BUSTED? He does this perp walk? That could happen, the people have to unite though and focus on this slimebag like a laser.
“Odd for someone from the wild west.”
He’s a real-life Snidely Whiplash! ;)
The Exempt Ones.
And they are after anything of real value, from anyone not an Exempt One.
Method: Accuse and steal. E.g. throw out the net of the Extortion-Care, and snare any and all not Exempt. Then add law upon law as basis for Extortion accusations followed by theft.
Unreal, so in essence you get slimebags like this guy run amok. There has to be something else that can be done though, maybe have him investigated. I can’t believe the people couldn’t rise up and drive him out of office. What about finding improprieties like taking bribes? This guy cannot be clean, no way. He’s a punk this guy and you usually find this kind of arrogance in crooks who get away with criminal activity for a long time, they think they’re untouchable and the public merely bugs for them to play with.
Senators cannot be impeached.
Dingy needs to be Censured then Expelled. He’d likely resign before facing Expulsion. All the better. It takes 2/3 of the Senate, I believe.
Yep.
Our government and unions are just one giant racketeering scam, and it needs to end in long, long prison sentences.
So Harry Reid has just admitted that the Federal government is planning & organizing an Einsatzgruppe to kill the Bundy family & Harry Reid thinks that the Bundy’s are the terrorists.
