It was open season on Harry Reid on the Sunday talk shows, with one Republican after another ripping into the Senate majority leader for his unsubstantiated claims about Mitt Romney’s taxes.
“As far as Harry Reid is concerned, listen, I know you might want to go down that road,” Republican national chairman Reince Priebustold George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.” “I’m not going to respond to a dirty liar. If that’s on the agenda, I’m not going go there. This is just a made-up issue.”
Reid continues to insist that he’s been told by a Bain investor who’s a “very credible” source on the subject that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. Reid has refused to identify his source, offered no corroborating evidence, and admitted that he’s not even sure the claim is valid.
But the attention he’s generated has forced Romney, who won’t release any tax records from before 2010, to address a topic he’s badly trying to avoid. Last Thursday, Romney challenged Reid to “put up or shut up,” and on Friday he maintained that “I have paid taxes every year, and a lot of taxes.” On Sunday, Romney surrogates fanned out in an effort to destroy Reid’s credibility and shame him into silence.
