Breitbart – by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is changing the story about how he sustained those gruesome New Year’s Day injuries that have left him blind in one eye.
Previously, Reid claimed that an exercise band he was using “broke.”
“I was doing exercises that I’ve been doing for many years with those large rubber bands and one of them broke and spun me around and I crashed into these cabinets and injured my eye,” (emphasis added) Reid said at a press conference on January 22.
(You can see the video of that press conference here.)
But now, in an interview conducted by Fusion (a joint venture between ABC and Univision), excerpts of which have been released today, Reid tells Univision anchor Jorge Ramos that the exercise band “slipped,” rather than “broke.”
“[T]he [elastic band] strap had no handle on it, slipped, spun me around, uh, about, oh I guess four feet (Reid points with his right hand to the wall of the interview room) and so I smashed my face into a cabinet,” Reid tells Ramos.
Reid’s latest version of the incident, as told to Ramos, differs from previous versions advanced by his team in another very significant way.
“Sources familiar with the incident said Reid was exercising in his bathroom, with the exercise band attached to the shower door,” Politico reported on January 22. (emphasis added)
As Breitbart News reported previously, that version of the story, almost certainly told to Politico by Reid’s staffers with his approval, is not credible.
Now, however, Reid tells Ramos a different story. The exercise band was not attached to the shower door in his bathroom, Reid says, but was instead attached to “a big metal hook that came out from the wall” in an unspecified room in his new Nevada home.
Here’s a partial transcript of the excerpt of the interview released by Fusion:
Ramos: You said recently that the accident had nothing to do with your decision to retire.
However, we are seeing the consequences of what happened.
What really happened?
Was it really with an elastic band?
Reid: Yeah, I had a big, that thick (Reid gestures with his hands), that I had been using for about four years and I was, you know, trying to maintain my, uh, firmness, and, uh, that was my weight training. I was doing that in my new home here in Nevada and a big metal hook that came out from the wall that was hooked there that the strap had no handle on it, slipped, spun me around, uh, about, oh I guess four feet (Reid points with his right hand to the wall of the interview room) and so I smashed my face into a cabinet so hard that uh…
Ramos: It looked like somebody had hit you.
Reid: I am so fortunate that, um, it wasn’t over just a fraction of this way and hit me in the temple.
Ramos: How’s your eye?
Reid: I am sightless in my right eye.

Ramos then switched gears and asked Reid about “the most difficult moments of [his] 28 years in the Senate.”
Ramos failed to ask some key follow up questions about Reid’s New Year’s Day injury incident.
For instance, Ramos failed to ask Reid if the accident took place in his bathroom, as Reid’s office had previously claimed. According to Reid’s latest version of the story, we do not know in which room of his house he now claims he sustained these injuries.
Breitbart News has asked Senator Reid’s office, which has carefully controlled the release of information about his New Year’s Day injuries, to comment on his changed version of the story of his New Year’s Day injuries, but has received no reply.
Always a LIE Harry, Have you ever told the truth in Life? You have over 300 or more bills you stashed on your desk that could have bettered America but you sat on them and disregarded the People.Then you Had your BLM SCANDAL to enrich your self and your son the Lawyer who you and him would have raked in Millions of dollars,while taking land away and giving it to China. YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO THE COUNTRY
My Fellow Americans:
Alright!,.. alright!, alright!,…
I admit it!,.. it was me!
I kicked the crap out of Filthy-Harry!!
They didn’t charge me for it, or talk about it in the Commie-Press because they did not want to admit their security detail screwed up,… when they were busy having sex with small farm animals, which is when I sneeked past them.
I grabbed old Filthy-Harry by his Diane Feinstein neck waddle, and was about to punch him, when I stopped myself and told him,.. “punching is for men,.. not slime like you!”,… so I opend my hand,.. flatened it,… and proceeded to pimp-slap for several minutes!!!!
Its when I was done bitch-slappin him, that I threw him through the open bathroom door, and he hit his hedious face agains the toilet, and that caused his eye damage!!!
Anyway,.. now you know what really happened,.. and don’t forget,.. you heard it here first!!!! 😉
JD – US Marines – Note: Big Lou Who was also sent there the same day to kick the crap out of Filthy-Harry,.. but they instead allowed Little Cindy Lou Who to dispense his follow-up beating!
.

Should have called JD. Id of loved to have been there. ;P

a lesson taught as a child
a lie changes ..and usually multiple times, the “story” never stays the same over time
the truth remains the truth..FOREVER
“a lie changes ..and usually multiple times, the “story” never stays the same over time ”
Yep. It kinda reminds me of that Sandy Hoax lie. 😉
How many times has the story changed? I lost count.
He still looks too good to me.
“[T]he [elastic band] strap had no handle on it, slipped, spun me around, uh, about, oh I guess four feet (Reid points with his right hand to the wall of the interview room) and so I smashed my face into a cabinet,” Reid tells Ramos.
Harry, you dont have to guess when A- it happened to YOU and B- it happened in your home where you can measure the distance.
In the book SPY THE LIE, they show how this is an involuntary action taken by the body.
He was nervous coming into the interview. When the question was finally asked and he spoke, he had to recite the story as well as listen to verify he was telling it correctly. The brain adds these types of statements (I guess) as a way to give the brain time to catch up. It also does this when it knows you deviated from the the script. They are called qualifiers. When the person feels they completely finished the lie, they smile.
YOU CAN NOT STOP THESE ACTION without being trained.
Hahahaha!! Hilarious.
