CHARLOTTE — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took a jab at Mitt Romney over comments he made in 2007 downplaying the importance of catching Osama bin Laden.
“Some said [President Obama] shouldn’t move heaven and earth to get bin Laden,” Reid said. “But President Obama made the tough and right call to bring the worst terrorist in the world to justice.”
In 2007, Romney told the Associated Press that “it’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.” After criticism from within his party, he quickly walked back by saying he only meant bin Laden was one part of the broader struggle against terorrism.
