Reid says US Olympic uniforms should be torched

By Alexander Bolton - 07/12/12 04:32 PM ET

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the uniforms that U.S. athletes will wear at the Summer Olympics opening ceremony in London should be burned because they are made in China.

“I am so upset that I think the [U.S.] Olympic Committee should be ashamed of themselves, I think they should be embarrassed, I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again,” Reid told reporters Thursday.
