Is he really that stupid?
Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid acknowledged Tuesday he is receiving what he called “ugly, vile, vulgar” threats after he labeled supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy “domestic terrorists” last week.
“Each day that goes by, it’s hard for me to comprehend how ugly, vile, vulgar, and threatening people are, sending letters to my home and making other threats,” said the longtime Democratic senator from Nevada, speaking slowly to reporters, with long pensive pauses and even shaking his head.
“So I don’t know who’s mad at me, but it’s a long list, I guess,” Reid continued.
Congressional sources say the threats began last week after Reid called Bundy’s backers “domestic terrorists” for refusing to vacate federal land in Nevada that Bundy used to graze his cattle.
