Harry Reid's chief of staff, David Krone, came out swinging in another round of the Romney tax return fight. As Romney's surrogates took a big round house swing at Reid on the Sunday talk shows by calling Reid a "dirty liar", they missed and ended up on the floor looking ridiculous.
This morning David Krone came after the Romney surrogates with a flurry of stinging punches that was led by a right hook to the Republican Jaw.
“They’re a bunch of cowards, and they’re avoiding the issue,” said David Krone, Reid’s chief of staff, in an interview with POLITICO on Sunday night. “Lindsey Graham, Reince Priebus — they’re a bunch of henchmen for Romney, and they’re all reading off the same talking points. They couldn’t hold a candle to Harry Reid.”
Krone quickly followed up with jab after jab, leaving the Republicans stunned and confused.
Krone added: “What Harry Reid said is the fact of what he was told. To turn it around, all their childish rants this weekend about calling Reid a ‘liar’ and all that, it just shows you how scared they are that Harry Reid was telling the truth.”
The Republicans are cowards
Krone also says he knows who the source that told Reid about Romney's taxes. Now we have at least 2 people who know the Bain Capital Investor who says Mittens didn't pay any taxes for 10 years. The more people that know who this person is, the better chance this persons name is going to leak to the press and a reporter will confirm the story.
This fight over who's lying adds a whole new dimension to Mittens tax returns. By making those wild claims that Reid is a liar, everybody has their credibility on the line now. With everyone accusing everyone else of lying, the public will become more interested in the story, and the only person that can clear it up is, Mitt Romney.
If Reid is making this story up and in the end his source is proven to be a liar, the public will most likely just blow it off. But if Romney has something big to hide in those returns, it could stick and stick big.
Stay tuned, as we wait for Romney to get off the floor and see if he can take it to Reid in round 4!
