The standoff near Cliven Bundy’s ranch ended peacefully a few days ago, but that didn’t stop Harry Reid from giving those who showed up in support of the Nevada rancher a rather harsh label, as Jon Ralston of Ralston Reports tweeted:
"What happened in Mesquite was domestic terrorism." @SenatorReid

The Las Vegas Review-Journal also reported the quote:
“They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said during an appearance at a Las Vegas Review-Journal “Hashtags & Headlines” event at the Paris. “I repeat: what happened there was domestic terrorism.”
You can always count on Harry Reid to help calm things down.
Reid’s use of the term “domestic terrorists” was taken to task:
Who got shot? Were there bombs? Where did this happen? RT @RalstonReports "What happened in Mesquite was domestic terrorism." @SenatorReid

@RBPundit @DLoesch @RalstonReports @SenatorReid It's GOVERNMENT terrorism. Get it straight.

.@RalstonReports @SenatorReid Who was terrorized? I detest what Bundy did, but calling terrorist makes light of previous terroristic acts,

.@dixdog27 @RalstonReports @SenatorReid What Bundy is doing is wrong but using the word "terrorism" is all about grabbing attention

There was also agreement with Reid during his rare brief break from repeating the words “Koch brothers” over and over:

After his “domestic terrorists” accusation, Reid moved on to his main obsession of late, which is a delusional preoccupation with the Koch brothers:
.@SenatorReid is on to Koch- bashing. @afpnevada folks are here. Will he call them domestic terrorists, too? "They are not good for (US)."
