Cliven Bundy’s Wife To Reid: Tell Me To My Face We’re ‘Domestic Terrorists’

Cliven Bundy’s wife Carol Bundy released a video on Facebook Friday inviting Harry Reid to come to her ranch “look me square in the eye and tell me that my family and I are domestic terrorists.”

“I would love for you to come to my ranch and tell me where my family has done any abuse of any kind to this land that we love,” Bundy says in the video as she walks through the dessert pointing out flora and fauna in the area.

Bundy was responding to calls Reid made on the Senate floor Thursday to designate the Gold Butte area – which was the site of the 2014 Bundy standoff in Nevada – a national monument. The area Reid is seeking to make a national monument is not on the Bundy’s land, but is jointly managed between the Bureau of Land Management and Clark County, Nevada. The area has long been protected in an effort to save the endangered desert tortoise.

“I’m angry today,” Bundy says in her video. “I have four sons in prison. I have a best friend whose husband was shot and Harry Reid put out a YouTube…talking about saving our land for future generations.”

At the end of the video, Rodney Atkins’ “Family” plays, and the video shifts from pictures of the desert to information to “Call Harry Reid And Tell Him How You Feel.”

    Oh my, the mastermind emerges.

  2. Yeah “Domestic Terrorist” is out of line. “Armed Welfare Queen” is more appropiate.

  3. Bundy Moll: “[L]ook me square in the eye and tell me that my family and I are domestic terrorists.”

    I’m sure Sen. Reid would.

    Assuming he could get past these guys:
