Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid publicly attacked Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump on Thursday. In a call with reporters, Sen. Reid accused Trump of destroying Atlantic City with his business dealings.
Sen. Reid also slammed the Koch Brothers for trying to “buy” the Senate. The Nevada senator then said:
“He [Trump] raped and pillaged Atlantic City. Who knows what his tax returns would show?”
This explosion comes the day after Trump’s official visit to Nevada, where he mispronounced the state’s name. He also gave an embarrassingly bizarre response to the significance of Yucca Mountain.
Also this week, the New York Times released a report detailing Trump’s tax claims. Those claims show a $1 billion loss in his 1995 tax returns, the majority of which stems from his defunct Atlantic City casinos and a failed airline company.
Mr. Reid Is A Democrat
Senator Reid is also one of the individuals pushing hard for Democrats to retake the majority in the upper chamber.
Sen. Reid’s comments this week also shed light on the Koch Brothers. For those of you not in-the-know, the Koch Brothers are the two sons of Fred C. Koch named Charles and David. They control one of America’s largest industrial companies, and are huge supporters of the Republican Party.
However, Sen. Reid believes that Charles and David Koch are:
“…trying to buy the Senate because they know that Hillary [Clinton] is going to win.”
He also warned Clinton supporters not to be over-confident in their candidate and the up-coming debate.
He said:
“I’ve told all the Clinton people, don’t be over-confident. I’m sure Donald is now on his way someplace else, doing anything but preparing for the debate.”
Harry Reid has served as the Senate Minority Leader since January 2015.
