Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid is fond of sparring with Republican presidential candidates, but the ex-boxer started an all-out street fight with Donald Trump this week -- and it only escalated Friday after the GOP nominee responded by mocking the injury that left Reid blind in one eye.

"Trump can make fun of the injury that took sight in my eye -- I've dealt with tougher opponents. With my good eye, I see Trump is a con-artist," Reid tweeted on Friday morning.

The political brawl started on Tuesday when Reid poked fun at Trump's weight.

While accusing the press of magnifying Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis and downplaying Trump's health issues, Reid said during a press conference, “He complains about her health? What does he do? He’s 70 years old. He’s not slim and trim.”

Trump's health details released this week show he is somewhat overweight, and the candidate says he wants to lose 15 pounds. But he hit back hard at Reid for going there, making a mocking reference to Reid's 2015 home-gym accident -- which happened when an exercise band snapped, sending the 76-year-old to the ground. He broke several ribs and facial bones.

One might guess that with all the contacts he has in the "gaming industry," Mr. Trump would have little trouble digging up some real dirt on Dingy Harry.

Don't forget, Steve Wynn is a huge Republican. I don't know if Wynn and Trump are pals, but I wouldn't bet against it.

Trump has NO health issues. He releases his medical records which prove he is healthy & they create a lie from facts.

The Dems are scared about Hillary’s health so they attack Trump’s health, turning the same attention on a different target.

I’m glad he’s blind in one eye. I hope he goes blind in the other

God forgive me.

An anonymous caller recently told me that Dirty Harry is well known to Las Vegas Metro Police to be a guy who lures young boys into the bathroom stalls at McCarren Airport.

He’s a nasty piece of work, no doubt about that.

He seems to be proud of it. What a disgusting man.

That is exactly true, he doesn't have any health issues. He is 6'3" tall and weighs 236 pounds. His BMI is 29.5, indicating that he is overweight but not obese. According to This For his height, he should weigh from 148 to 199 pounds. He would look like a bean pole if he only weight 148 pounds. 199 pounds though sounds reasonable.

Trump needs to ignore stuff like this. Laugh it off. Say, yes, I need to loose weight, just like Clinton and many Americans.

He took the bait on this one. This is how they will bait him in the debates.

“Didn’t dingy Harry read get beaten up by his brother?”

That’s the (totally believable) rumor.

No, he peddled so much crap that the peddles of his stationary bike took revenge.
