Before he became totally consumed with the Koch brothers and their evildoings, Harry Reid used to take to the Senate floor to claim that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for over a decade.
“The word is out that he has not paid any taxes for ten years,” the majority leader claimed during the 2012 presidential election, citing a supposedly “extremely credible” unnamed source. “Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not.”
Romney denied that was the case and released tax documents showing that he had paid taxes for the past 20 years. (Reid’s unsubstantiated and far-fetched allegations earned him a “Pants on Fire” rating from PolitiFact and four “Pinocchios” from the Washington Post.)
Just in case that wasn’t enough, though, Josh Romney provided Reid with some photographic evidence of his father standing in line to send off his tax returns:
Hey @SenatorReid here's a shot of @MittRomney paying taxes. Does it every year. It's how you get your paycheck. pic.twitter.com/DwSMXzYhuR
