In a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Dana Bash about his pending retirement from Congress that aired on CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) sounded off on the 2016 presidential race, some of his Republican Senate colleagues in that race, his likely successor as the Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his thoughts on President Barack Obama.
Also during that interview, Bash asked Reid about his 2012 Senate floor remarks attacking the Koch Brothers and then-Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. Reid had claimed Romney had not paid federal taxes, which was based on some dubious sources, to which Bash said some had called “McCarthy-ite.”
Reid said he had no regrets for making those remarks.
“They can call it whatever they want,” Reid replied. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
