Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) took to Twitter on Monday to express his displeasure with comments made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) last week in which Reid reportedly declared that Hurricane Katrina, which battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was “nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey” after Superstorm Sandy.

 

Reid’s office did not immediately respond to TPM’s request for comment.
