Harry Reid called for audit of Federal Reserve during 2010 campaign [VIDEO]

Video has emerged of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve as recently as his tight 2010 re-election race in Nevada.
This will likely energize those pushing Reid to allow a vote in the Senate on Federal Reserve audit legislation, which overwhelmingly passed through the House Wednesday.
“There should be a Federal Reserve audit,” Reid said in an Oct. 14, 2010 debate. “We haven’t gotten it yet. But we’ve made some progress in that regard.”

But even though the House passed legislation calling for an audit Wednesday, Reid’s office has signaled that the legislation won’t be brought to a vote in the Senate.
The 2010 video re-surfaced Thursday on the Ron Paul Forums blog.
Supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul have been buzzing since Wednesday about a 1995 video of Reid saying, “For years I have sponsored legislation that would call for an audit of the Federal Reserve system.”
