Harry Reid Already Losing the Digs: Name Removed From University Building
Come November, we can only hope Reid will lose his position as Senate Majority Leader. As of now, he’s lost his name on Southern Utah University’s Outdoor Engagement Center building.
Fox News reports:
Reid’s name removed from center at Utah university from which he graduated
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s name has been removed from a Southern Utah University facility, following pressure from a conservative group to make the change.
The group received $40,000 in pledges over five days toward removing the Nevada Democrat’s name from the school’s Outdoor Engagement Center.
University President Scott Wyatt acknowledged Friday that he was under pressure from a group of conservatives to remove Reid’s name but insisted that politics had nothing to do with his decision.
Reid’s name was removed last week from the front door of the facility, several months after two local elected officials and others met with Wyatt and told him about the campaign, Wyatt said.
He said he told the group to stop raising money and that pledge money would not be accepted to remove Reid’s name.
Wyatt said he removed Reid’s name because “nobody” associated the senator with the outdoors.
