Mitt Romney Tells Harry Reid To ‘Put Up Or Shut Up’

Presumed republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he’s had enough of everybody bumpin their gums about his lack of tax-paying history.

The GOP front runner has come under much scrutiny lately for not publicly producing record of his past tax returns despite his massive earnings.

Mitt Romney on Thursday pushed back against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s allegations that the presumptive GOP nominee has not been paying his taxes.

“It’s time for Harry to put up or shut up,” Romney said on Sean Hannity’s radio show.

In a Huffington Post interview published Tuesday, the leading Democrat said that an unnamed investor with Bain Capital, Romney’s former private equity firm, told Reid in a phone conversation that Romney had not paid taxes for a decade.

Reid stood by the allegations on Thursday while speaking on the Senate floor.

“The word’s out that he hasn’t paid any taxes for 10 years,” he said. “Let him prove he has paid taxes because he hasn’t.”

Critics have hit back against Reid’s comments this week, faulting him for making claims based off an anonymous source.

“Harry’s gonna have to describe who it is he spoke with because of course that’s totally and completely wrong,” Romney said Thursday in the radio interview.

After Romney’s interview on Hannity’s radio show, the majority leader responded in a statement and said he is not backing down from his remarks.

“As I said before, I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for ten years. People who make as much money as Romney have many tricks at their disposal to avoid paying taxes,” he said.

Reid argued Romney is “hiding something” and called on the presumptive GOP nominee to release more taxes.

Show us the money, Mitt!
