Harry Reid Politicizes the Fires

As if Harry Reid hasn't done enough damage to his reputation recently, he's doing more with his comments on the California wildfires.

From The Hill:

Officials said Tuesday the winds and high temperatures are expected to continue. But when the fires do stop, lawmakers likely will debate the cause of the fire.

“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.

Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.

I'm not surprised that Reid brought up global warming.

The fringe Lefty base probably demanded that the Dems play up global warming as a cause of the fires.

The disaster has to be Bush's fault. There are no acts of God.

As usual, the Dems look for ways to exploit others' misery for political gain.

Sick.
