These guys are insane. Harry Reid, along with almost every active Mormon male above the age of 40 is usually a high priest.

Ammon Bundy claims LDS Church infiltrated by socialists
Ammon Bundy, a constitutional rights defender to his allies and a domestic terrorist to his critics, spoke in Smithfield on Wednesday and claimed that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which he is a devout member, has been infiltrated by socialists, globalists and environmentalists.
He claimed that the federal governments prosecution of him and his supporters following confrontations in Nevada and Oregon is really a battle of high priests of the LDS Church. He said his father, himself and his attorney are all high priests in the church, but so are the lead U.S. attorney prosecuting his family, the chief judge in Oregon and former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.

(9,117 posts)As I recall from my historical reading, the early Church of the Latter-Day Saints WAS pretty socialist. The ZCMI Department Store was ownedby the LDS Church and remained under church ownership until 1999.
Maybe some of the Mormons have decided that a bit of socialism is preferable to savage capitalism and an Ive-got-mine mindset?
In which case Ammon, tough Kibbles!

(10,571 posts)It was practice by the early church members. They still believe that when Jesus comes back this is the way things will be done.
It seems almost every cult begins with some way of its leader getting all of the possessions of its members possible. I think thats where this came from.
