Grayson is running for Rubio's seat in Florida. Ever since he announced the Demos have been a bit upset with him Especially Reid. They couldn't get Wasserman Schultz since she is hoping Hillary wins and she will be given a job. So Grayson has upset the Demos apple cart. Then the Demos brought ethics charges against him. Grayson denies the ethics findings.
Grayson has always been a hard core lefty. Yet was part of the Demo establishment as a Congressman. Now he thinks he is an outsider. What say ye?
A routine meeting of liberal Democrats grew heated on Wednesday when Rep. Alan Grayson (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson) Alan Grayson (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson)GOP wants Senate Dem candidate to donate 0K (http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/279620-gop-wants-senate-dem-candidate-to-donate-100k)Overnight Finance: Puerto Rico bill delayed again; Trump to release tax returns after audit (http://thehill.com/policy/finance/overnights/279618-overnight-finance-puerto-rico-bill-delayed-again-trump-to-release)The Trail 2016: One Heck of a Pivot (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/279613-the-trail-2016-one-heck-of-a-pivot)MORE (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson) (D-Fla.) confronted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid) Harry Reid (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid)Overnight Finance: Puerto Rico bill delayed again; Trump to release tax returns after audit (http://thehill.com/policy/finance/overnights/279618-overnight-finance-puerto-rico-bill-delayed-again-trump-to-release)The Trail 2016: One Heck of a Pivot (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/279613-the-trail-2016-one-heck-of-a-pivot)Romney to Trump: Not releasing tax returns is 'disqualifying' (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/279584-romney-to-trump-not-releasing-tax-returns-is)MORE (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid) (D-Nev.) over the ethics charges dogging Grayson as he vies for the Senate.
Reid was a guest at the weekly gathering of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) when Grayson went on the attack, denouncing Reid’s previous calls for the Florida Democrat to resign over allegations that he violated House rules by running hedge funds through his congressional office.
“Shame on you. It’s not true,” Grayson said, according to sources in the room.
“It is true, and I want you to lose,” Reid fired back.
“All the members were appalled” by Grayson’s behavior, the source said. “It was embarrassing for him and embarrassing for us that he behaved that way.”
“The establishment wants somebody who is a callow tool, OK? They want somebody who they can boss around, somebody who they can order around,” Grayson said. “As far as I can tell, the only criteria that the Democratic establishment has among Senate candidates this year is obedience, OK? And in that regard, perhaps I fall short.”
Still, critics of Grayson’s confrontational approach said Wednesday’s meeting was the wrong place to air his grievances against the minority leader......snip~
