“In an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd that aired Thursday, the senator accused major conservative donors Charles and David Koch of flooding the political system with donations just to make more money for themselves.
When Todd interjected by saying that Sheldon Adelson had spent a huge sum of money in 2012, Reid defended Sheldon Adelson, who lives in Nevada and is the CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corp.
“He’s in it because he has certain ideological views,” Reid said. “Now, Sheldon Adelson’s social views are in keeping with the Democrats. On choice, on all kinds of things. So, Sheldon Adelson don’t pick on him. He’s not in it to make money.”
