"A spokesman for Republican House Speaker John Boehner called Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid 'unhinged'on Monday, after Reid charged Republicans may have had a helping hand in emboldening Russia to annex Crimea. 'Since a few Republicans blocked these important sanctions last work period, Russian lawmakers voted to annex Crimea and Russian forces have taken over Ukrainian military bases,' Reid said Monday, according to The Associated Press. 'It's impossible to know whether events would have unfolded differently if the United States had responded to Russian aggression with a strong, unified voice.' Reid was referring to the stalling of a Ukraine aid package in the Senate, after Republicans objected to a provision that contained reforms to the International Monetary Fund. But House and Senate GOP aides noted the Republican-controlled House had passed similar legislation without the IMF provisions, which Republicans have said is not a necessary attachment to a Ukraine aid bill. 'The Senate Majority Leader sounds completely unhinged,' Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told Business Insider in an email." Reid is probably still hinged, according to our sources.
