Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell doesn’t mince words on his Democratic counterpart in his new memoir.

“Harry is rhetorically challenged. If a scalpel will work, he picks up a meat ax,” McConnell wrote of Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in an excerpt of his forthcoming book, “The Long Game: A Memoir.” “He also has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. In person, Harry is thoughtful, friendly, and funny. But as soon as the cameras turn on or he’s offered a microphone, he becomes bombastic and unreasonable, spouting things that are both nasty and often untrue, forcing him to then later apologize.”
