Reid Mocks McConnell’s Tea Party Woes
Ol’ Harry is feeling his oats these days:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) took a jab at Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday, appearing to be entertained by the possibility that McConnell may face a tea party favorite in 2014.
“He tried to make love to the tea party and they didn’t like it,” Reid said of McConnell at an Organizing for Action event, Politico reported.
Matthew Bevin, a Kentucky Tea Party businessman who has been regarded as an emerging opponent for several months, is expected to enter the 2014 U.S. Senate race against McConnell on Wednesday at the state Capitol.
