Harry Reid Attacks Republicans’ Patriotism For Enabling Donald Trump

Source: Huffington Post

PHILADELPHIA ― Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) delivered a characteristically scathing indictment of congressional Republicans in his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, once again blaming them for the rise of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Reid, who has accused Republicans of sowing the political seeds for Trump’s demagoguery in the past, reserved his harshest criticism for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

“I’ve never seen anything more craven than Mitch McConnell and what he has done to our democracy,” Reid said.

“His Republican Party decided that the answer to hardworking Americans’ dreams is to slander our African-American president, stoke fear of Muslims, sow hatred of Latinos, insult Asians and, of course, wage war against women,” Reid added. “In other words, the only thing Republicans, like Mitch McConnell, have accomplished is setting the stage for a hateful con man, Donald Trump.”

The enablers have chosen ideology over country... Correct to call them out on this.

it wouldnt surprise me if the Democrats were largely bidding their time and just letting the Republicans dig their own grave and now they are getting reading to bury them in it.

I think there has been too much "turn the other cheek".

The time is definitely ripe for the Dems to take advantage of this very clear implication of the choices of ideology over country the Pukes have been making for many years.

but he is always thinking and has a great sense of political timing

And Harry is hitting stride. These issues are out in the open now, and
they will not change, and they will not go away.
