Sen Reid: “I can’t say every 1 of Koch brothers ads are a lie--but I’ll say this…vast majority are"

“I can’t say that every one of the Koch brothers ads are a lie, but I’ll say this … the vast, vast majority of them are,” Reid said on Wednesday afternoon. “It’s too bad that they are trying to buy America. And it’s time that the American people spoke out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers, who are about as un-American as anyone that I can imagine.”

The remarks continued a day-long diatribe against the Kochs, just the latest in Reid’s months-long barrage of criticism aimed at the Kochs. On Wednesday morning, Reid blasted the billionaire Koch brothers on Wednesday of having “no conscience” and spreading lies about Obamacare through political ads.

“The Koch brothers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars telling Americans that Obamacare is bad for them. It’s easy to do if you have no conscience and are willing to lie like they are, through the ads they’re promoting. But the Kochs should stick to what they know: The oil business … where they’ve made their multi-billions of dollars,” Reid said.
