Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) went after the Daily Caller on Tuesday afternoon when asked about the conservative website’s reports that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) had consorted with underage prostitutes.
“The answer is, I always consider the source, and all anyone here has to look at it is the source where this comes from,” Reid told reporters. “It’s a source that has brought up a lot of non-issues.”
Pressed further, the Democratic leader said, “I’ve told you how I feel about the source of — this stuff is really very, very typical for the source.”
Menendez has denied the allegations, and although there is not yet evidence to prove wrongdoing on his part, the FBI is reportedly investigating the matter.
