The top Mormon in the Democratic party weighed in today on the top two Mormons in the Republican party, both of whom are running for President. And he has a strong preference for one over the other.
Asked by a reporter at his weekly Capitol press conference Tuesday afternoon if the country is ready for a Mormon President, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) pivoted to pure Mitt Romney bashing.
“I feel very comfortable that they’re not ready for the former Governor of Massachusetts,” he said. “In that race, if I had a choice I would favor [Jon] Huntsman over Romney. But I don’t have a choice in that race.”
Reid explained his stance, challenging Romney’s integrity.
“I think that the frontrunner in the Republican stakes right now, here’s a man who doesn’t know who he is. He was for gay marriage when he was governor, now he’s against it. He was for abortion before he was against it…. Oh! Health care! We modeled our bill to a large degree about what he did in Massachusetts. Now he’s trying to run from that. If somebody doesn’t know who they are, they shouldn’t be President of the United States.”
Can anyone say Huntsman/Reid Unity Ticket?!
