Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) on Tuesday called the repeated Democratic attacks on the Koch brothers “an embarrassment to this institution,” lashing out at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during a heated speech on the Senate floor.
“The majority leader has launched an unprecedented slander campaign against two private citizens,” Cruz said, describing Reid's regular broadsides of Charles and David Koch "reprehensible.”
In response, Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson said in a statement that "in one day, Senator Cruz called for deporting young people who have been in America all their lives, threatened to shut down the government and rushed to the defense of shadowy billionaires who are rigging our democracy to benefit the wealthy and powerful. It’s clear whose side he’s on.”

I don't know what the precedent is for this but on it's face Cruz's statement does seem to have some merit.
When was the last time a Majority Leader of the Senate verbally attacked a private citizen like Harry Reid has been doing?

Agreed. I like how his response starts of with 'trying to deport young people who have been here all their lives'
Give me a break, GTFO with that bullshit. Their parents are to blame for putting them in a situation where theyre here illegally and therefore have no rights.

Harry Reid is just some old fossil that would have a hard time working your average middle management office job at this point.
I've seen a few clips of his where he is just up there rambling and talking incoherently while tossing out played out talking points like you mentioned for minutes at a time.

Is this the best response that Reid and his idiot of a spokesman can come up with?
Kicking out illegals is the law. I don't understand the criticism when Cruz was doing the right thing. You can criticize his tactic for shutting down the government but enforcing immigration law is what every politician should be doing.
How did Reid become so rich as a politician? Reid is the one benefiting from the wealthy.
