Harry Reid’s “Pet” on the Leash: Chris Coons “Pledges His Vote” to Embattled Majority Leader in Lame Duck Session

Christine O'Donnell's Victory Speech

Wilmington, DE – Though he desperately claims to be an “independent voice,” liberal tax-hiker Chris Coons (D-DE) has once again proven himself to be U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) “pet.” As the Examiner’s David Freddoso reports, “Chris Coons… promises in a fundraising email today that he will vote with Democrats in the coming lame duck session of Congress.”

Coons has previously come under fire for bragging that his first vote as a U.S. Senator would be to keep 27-year incumbent Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader, and for admitting he “would broadly support the agenda of our President…” adding, “in general, I think we need more folks in the Senate of the United States who are willing to vote… with [the] Administration.”

“Delawareans deserve to have a representative in the U.S. Senate who votes their interest, and isn’t just a waterboy for Harry Reid. The lame duck session of Congress will be make-or-break for the U.S. economy – a vote with Harry Reid to raise taxes on American families and job creators could spell disaster. To sign a blank check for Harry Reid before even winning an election is unconscionable. He owes the people of Delaware an apology,” said Christine O’Donnell.
