Mormonism is making election news again -- but this time it's one Mormon accusing another Mormon of not being a good representative of the church.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) says GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is "not the face of Mormonism."
During a conference call with reporters, Reid -- currently the highest-ranking Mormon in U.S. elected office -- expressed agreement with a recent opinion piece published in the Huffington Post that said people should not "judge Mormonism on the basis of the Mitt Romney that was unveiled to the public."
The Romney camp has not responded directly to the criticism. However, Utah GOP Congressman Jason Caffetz, also a Mormon, called Reid's comments inappropriate.
FOX News quotes Chaffetz as saying Reid was out of bounds with his comments. The Republican congressman accused Reid of "inappropriately using the church for his own personal political gain." Chaffetz added: "That is a shameful act by any measure."
