Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Monday that his Republican counterpart’s overtures to the tea party have backfired.
Speaking at an event held by Organizing for Action, Reid seemed to gloat that Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had drawn a Republican challenger in next year’s race.
“He tried to make love to the tea party and they didn’t like it,” Reid said, as quoted by the Washington Post.
