Sen. Manchin calls Harry Reid ‘absolute embarrassment’ for anti-Trump rant
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Sen. Joe Minchin delivered a sharp rebuke Friday to Senate Democratic Leader  Harry Reid... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, finally retiring ... for denouncing Americans who elected Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... "Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation," Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said in a statement released late Friday. "I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me," said Mr. Manchin, one of the most conservative Democrats in the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress. Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, lashed out at Americans who backed Mr. Trump, saying they confirmed the ascendance of "hate and bigotry in America." "Watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like America," said Mr. Reid, who is retiring from the Senate this year. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-14 |
