Harry Reid calls on 'disgraceful' Alan Grayson to drop out of Senate race

Yesterday it was reported that Florida progressive Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson, who is running for Senate, has had a second job in addition to being a member of Congress: Running a hedge fund that was based in the Cayman Islands.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is not coming to Grayson’s defense:

Reid, after NYT report on Grayson + hedge funds: "His actions aren't just disgraceful to the Dem Party, they disgrace the halls of Congress"

From the Associated Press:

Reid said in a statement that Grayson claims to be progressive but seems to have “no moral compass.” He said Grayson used his office to unethically promote a hedge fund that until recently had been based in the Cayman Islands.

Well that’s something:

If Grayson drops his Senate bid maybe it would free up some time in case he’s needed elsewhere:
