Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is calling out Republicans who are “celebrating” the government shutdown.
The Nevada Democrat called Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and her allies who have been rallying around a plan to fund the government but delay President Obama’s Affordable Care Act “modern day anarchists.”
