Harry Reid attacked and lied about Mitt Romney before the presidential election.
He even accused Romney of not paying taxes for 10 years during a Senate session.
Now the Democrat-media complex is hoping Republicans will forgive and forget Harry Reid's disgusting attacks.
The Hill reported:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) infuriated Republicans during the campaign with his harsh partisan attacks and now faces the delicate task of mending his relationship with the GOP.
ome Republicans say Reid poisoned his relationship with their party by waging controversial attacks against GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. They were most angered by Reid???s charge that Romney had not paid taxes in ten years, attributing the information to an anonymous source.
"I do think he lost more credibility with Republicans because of his aggressive comments during the campaign,??? said Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist and former leadership aide who served in the Senate and House.
???The make-up of the Senate is almost the same and I think Sen. Reid is likely to produce the same type of gridlock he did before because of his unusually partisan stance," Bonjean added.
Reid said Romney, a fellow Mormon, ???sullied??? their shared faith after the GOP nominee told a group of donors that 47 percent of Americans suffered from a sense of victimhood and mooched off the government. Reid declared in the closing days of the campaign that Senate Democrats would not work with Romney to pass his ???severely conservative??? agenda.
But sources who know the Democratic leader, a former amateur boxer, say it???s a classic case of Reid being Reid. He punches hard during the campaign but is willing to pivot to constructive bipartisan relationships after Election Day, just as fighter is willing to embrace his opponent after the final bell.
???Sen. Reid knows as well as anyone there???s a time for politics and a time for governing,??? said Rodell Mollineau, a former senior aide to Reid. ???The time for politics has passed. First and foremost, Sen. Reid cares about governing. So now that the election is over, he would want to find a consensus to move things forward.???
