The departing Senate minority leader says Donald Trump’s election “has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry” and he now must lead “a time of healing.”
In a statement Friday, Nevada Democrat Harry Reid said white nationalists, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Islamic State extremist group are celebrating Trump’s election “while innocent, law-abiding Americans are wracked with fear.”
He says that “does not feel like America.”
Reid said the fear felt by blacks, Hispanics, gay Americans and others is rational “because Donald Trump has talked openly about doing terrible things to them.”
Reid said Trump’s victory doesn’t absolve him of “the grave sins he committed against millions of Americans.”
He said Trump “may not possess the capacity” to relieve those fears but must begin trying to do that immediately.

#1,
This is the tactic of the left. There’s no intellectual discussion, only name calling: racist, sexist, misogynist, stupid ,lowlife. Facts don’t matter to them, they have no interest in discussion, only to defame their opponents. They’re despotic, don’t care for rule of law ( in fact, are in rapturous love with every cotton-pickin’ world dictator), litigate everything to liberal judges in hopes of destroying our institutions, mores and the very principles of our Founding Fathers.
This disease ( Radical liberalism is a mental disease ) has infiltrated our own orthodoxy.
The Dem liberalism of JFK, Humphrey, et al, is nonexistent. Since McGovern, the party has veered more & more radical and is now its mainstream.
They hate G-D in any religion, hate Israel, hate the USA and its flag, hate heterosexual marriage and have infested the academiae like venomous roaches.
Thank Hashem for The Donald. May HE keep you safe.

The same Harry that openly lied from the floor of the Senate about Mr. Romney not paying his taxes. (He could do this because of a law protecting congressmen from libel while at the podium.)
