Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Sheldon Adelson: ‘Don’t Pick on Him’

Speaking to MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid came to the defense of casino billionaire and GOP mega donor Sheldon Adelson, this after blasting two other Republican mega donors, Charles and David Koch.  

"Sheldon Adelson, don't pick on him," he told NBC's Chuck Todd. "He's not in this for money. He's in this because he has certain ideological views."

That comment has raised eyebrows amongst those in the online gambling sector.  While Reid has supported legalizing Web gambling at the federal level, Adelson is staunchly opposed. 

The Sands Las Vegas chairman plays a pivotal role in the casino sector that is also critical to the state of Nevada for which Reid represents.
