(11,238 posts)The HuffPo story only noted that anonymous sources said Harry Reid spoke to her privately. The story went on to note that Reid's spokesman said the senator prefers not to discuss private conversation, and that Reid doesn't remember whether or not he had this discussion with Klobuchar. Then the story quoted Reid directly: Sen. Klobuchar is one of the most brilliant, hardest-working members of the Senate, and I was glad to serve alongside her, said Reid. Shes tireless when it comes to fighting for the people of Minnesota and the country, and thats why shes such a popular Senator back home and among her colleagues.
A private conversation presumably means it was just Reid & Klobuchar, wouldn't you think? I'm curious how the sources would even know what was said in a private conversation, much less how harsh it was.
I'm not saying it didn't happen; it may well have, and Reid was being diplomatic in saying he didn't remember it. I'm just cautioning against embroidering what was factually reported.
