Robert F. Smith Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 “Harry Reid Helps Former Senator Join Mormon Church,” ABC News, April 20, 2015, online at http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/harry-reid-helps-senator-join-mormon-church-30456736 . Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has helped a former U.S. Senate colleague become a Mormon. Reid, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave a blessing to Larry Pressler of South Dakota on Sunday morning to confirm him as a member of the faith. The Deseret News in Utah reports (http://bit.ly/1JnBSw1) the ceremony occurred at a Maryland church. The former three-term Republican Senator from South Dakota (1979-1997), was the first Vietnam veteran elected to the Senate. He is a grad of the Harvard Law School. He is famous for turning down an ABSCAM bribe -- the only member of Congress to refuse. Harry Reid introduced Pressler to the Book of Mormon.
Storm Rider Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 It was a good story and good to hear that Senator Reid was so involved and shared a copy of the Book of Mormon with him. Good on him.
strappinglad Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Why this is national news I don't know. Then again , maybe it shows that there is SOMETHING a democrat and a republican can agree on.
