Sen. Harry Reid on Wednesday morning stuck with his position that Muslims have the First Amendment right to build a mosque near ground zero, but that the project should not go ahead because its construction could further divide the nation.
“I’ve said what I’m going to on that,” Reid responded when asked by a reporter whether he wanted to clarify why he took a position counter to that of President Obama, who said an Islamic center could be built on the site.
"I've said that there's a freedom of religion," Reid said. "It's time to bring people together and it's not a time for polarization. And I think that everyone would be better off if it were built somewhere else.”
Asked if he was disappointed by the rifts in the party on the topic, Reid quipped, "Which party?"
Reid refused to answer a question about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s call for an investigation into who might be funding opposition to the mosque.
Reid’s comments came after a news conference announcing the opening in November of a USO lounge at McCarran International Airport.
working hard for Nevada.Only dumb Hispanics are republicans. The president is dumb. That man can turn his negaro dialect off and on...
He refuses to answer questions.
What happened to you, Reid? I used to believe you cared about the people of Nevada and our country. Somewhere along the line you lost your way. Did Washington corrupt you? Do you enjoy living in the Ritz Carlton so much that you don't want to give it up? Did power corrupt you and make you lose your integrity and ethics? What made you start working against us? Do you hate smelly Americans that much that you support illegals? Are you ashamed that you used to be for an independent Nevada? Why do you want to make Nevada into a nanny state like California?
What happened to you, Reid?
Reid, you need to retire and work on getting back to being the decent man you once were.
