Just the other day, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sent his spokesman out to make the following attack on Senate Republicans, via Politico:
“Since Republicans appear to be conducting backroom negotiations with these same people who took our economy to the brink of collapse, the public deserves to know what secret deals and carve-outs Republicans are offering Wall Street executives in exchange for their support,” Reid spokesman Jim Manley said.
A few hours later it was revealed that Senator Reid held a fundraiser attended by Goldman Sachs executives, via CNN:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was chastised by the National Republican Senatorial Committee after the Nevada Democrat acknowledged Tuesday that he held a fundraiser in New York earlier this year, which was attended mostly by Goldman Sachs executives.
"As he collects Wall Street cash behind closed doors and pretends to advocate for Main Street in public, Reid's partisan rhetoric has quickly been replaced with the stench of hypocrisy," said Brian Walsh, an NRSC spokesman.
