We told you about the DLCC’s bankrolling of attack ads in Nevada yesterday. Today, news is Democrat Senator Harry Reid has apologized to one of the democrats targets, Dr. Joe Heck, for the absurd tone of the democrats campaign. Harry Reid knows these horrible Democrat tactics are going to backfire – and his disavowal of the tactics speak volumes. Now, if Senator Reid were a true leader, he’d take the 5 minutes it takes to call the staff of the Democrat party that he is the leader of in Nevada, and tell them to clean up their act.
From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
Reid called Heck personally more than a week ago to offer assurances that he was not behind the state Democratic Party’s pummeling of Heck in campaign ads. Heck revealed the conversation Monday, and Reid’s office confirmed that it occurred.
The ads, which Heck decries as misleading, haven’t let up, while Heck says Breeden has declined at least two offers from neutral groups to hold public debates.
“I appreciated the fact that he (Reid) took the time to call me from Washington to tell me he has nothing to do with the misleading campaign against me,” Heck said. “I hope he would be able to use his position in the party to convince my opponent to come out and debate. I’ve got a platform I’m running on. Whether people like it or not, I’m willing to defend what I believe in.”
