When Roll Call’s Steven Dennis asked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) about Sen. Mitch McConnell waiting for Mitt Romney’s position on President Obama’s new immigration policy, he (and the gathered press) probably wasn’t expecting this response:
“I don’t want to answer that question — that’s a clown question, bro,” Reid said.
Reid drew inspiration from 19-year-old Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper, whose original response to a reporter’s question about what kind of beer he would have to celebrate a home run went viral.
