Reid was no saint

OPINION:

From most of what the Democrats are saying about the late Sen. Harry Reid, one would think the man had been a hero or a saint. He was not. He played a critical part in political dirty infighting. He lied on the floor of the Senate about Obamacare, about the death of our ambassador in Benghazi and about the Republican nominee facing Obama in the presendential election. Many in his own party kindly called him a “fighter.” In fact, he was a man who gave energy to political nastiness.
