Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) used an all-night climate change campaign in the Senate to once again bash Charles and David Koch.
“It's time to stop acting like those who ignore this crisis — the oil baron Koch brothers and their allies in Congress — have a valid point of view,” Reid said Monday evening. “But despite overwhelming scientific evidence and overwhelming public opinion, climate change deniers still exist. They exist in this country and in this Congress.”
Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) are leading an all-night Senate session to discuss the importance of climate change. More than 20 other Democrats participated right off the bat, including members of leadership.
Recently, Reid has increased his attacks against the Koch brothers, accusing them of trying to “buy” American elections for Tea Party candidates with the billions they’ve made from oil.
Reid said it’s time the United States increase its use of renewable energy sources and stop using fossil fuels.
“We have the ability to reduce our reliance on oil and other fossil fuels, increase our production of clean energy and create good-paying jobs that can never be outsourced,” Reid said.

One without you would be a good start.
Surely, Reid knows that he is telling a huge lie to the public. Why is he doing that?
Climate control - 72 degrees forever!
Levin ripped him and the envirowackos over this today.
“Surely, Reid knows that he is telling a huge lie to the public. Why is he doing that?”
Is that a serious question? Reid is Bre’r Rabbit and lies are the briar patch.
create good-paying jobs that can never be outsourced,” Reid said.
Harry is talking about being Senate Majority Leader...
I remember a bunch of ‘world leaders’ and politicians determining something about the heliocentric theory...
According to tyrants like Reid, it is perfectly fine for the government to steal money from people and use it to promote Obamacare, but it’s somehow corrupt for people to spend their OWN money opposing Obamacare.
Commies gotta lie!
Because Big Media will report it as the truth and the LIVs will believe it.
This all-night show is beyond pathetic. The lib radicals are so desperate for something to do that will connect with their voters and keep the attention off of the Obamacare horror story -— we have insane crap like this.
Sounds suspiciously like Stalin denouncing Trotsky.
Tom Steyer has said he is going to donate 100 million to get AGW candidates elected. That what this all nighter was about. Trying to get that money. Reid blasting the Kochs at this particular event is as hypocritical as these a$$hole’s carbon footprint.
C’mon, America! We haven’t completely destroyed the economy! We can finish this job! Yes we can!
Hey, that's a great idea. I wonder if we can talk them into it.
I thought Reid was the Easter Bunny and lies were his eggs?
(lol)
How can he continue to say things like this(slander) about private citizens? Seems to me the Koch brothers could bring a lawsuit to shut the little punk up.
I admire one thing about Reid, he uses his position to attack Republicans. He doesn’t attack Democrat voters. He caters to them.
Reid just said the Koch brothers have no right to free speech, clear as a bell. Two guys, Charles and David Koch, don't have a valid point of view. I bet they don't sit down and be quiet.
Can we start some kind of pac to destroy Reid? Call it the JusticePAC.
