[See Newsbusters for more.] Fusion journalist Jorge Ramos on Tuesday grilled Harry Reid about his completely unfounded rumor-mongering that then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney failed to pay taxes. The Spanish and English language host demanded six times that Reid answer for his smear. Ramos pushed, "You said on the Senate floor that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes in ten years... But there was no evidence of that. Did you purposely lie?"  Reid, who in 2012 said that Romney "hasn't" paid taxes, admitted, "Of course he paid taxes." The Senate Minority Leader asserted that the Republican hasn't proven himself innocent yet. Ramos pressed, "Who was that extremely credible source that you used?" The journalist followed-up, chiding, "But, in other words, you didn't lie?"
