Grapevine: Harry Reid has no regrets over Romney accusations
No Regrets
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid says he does not regret accusing then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney of not paying taxes-- a claim that has since been proven-- to be untrue.
Why? -- Because it worked-- Romney lost the election.
The claim was made just three months before Election Day.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader: The word's out that he hasn't paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Romney produced tax returns-- showing he had-- in fact-- paid his taxes.
Politifact ruled-- pants on fire -- that Reid produced no evidence to back up his contention on the Senate floor.
So does Reid regret the accusation?
No way.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
Reid: Oh I don't regret that at all.
Dana Bash, CNN: So no regrets? About Mitt Romney? About the Koch brothers? Because some people have even called it McCarthy-ite.
Reid: Well they can call it whatever they want, ummm.. Romney didn't win did he?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Reid's sudden candor follows his announcement-- that he is not running for re-election.
It takes a man to admit they were wrong...
Now, if a man could demonstrate that to Harry Reid..
