The always classy Harry Reid took to the Senate floor on Thursday to demand Trump take action against a reported spike in hate crimes after the 2016 election.
"Two days ago I came here and called upon our president-elect to rise to the dignity of his office. I called upon Mr. Trump to take responsibility for his rhetoric and his actions to work to heal the wounds that he created," the outgoing Minority Leader said. "Our president-elect has chosen to do none of the things to this point… There's only one person who can bring a stop to that quickly, and that's the president-elect. Our nation is looking at Donald Trump."
Senator Harry Reid apparently paid no attention to Trump’s highly publicized interview on 60 Minutes, the first public interview since his victory win. Trump vehemently opposed any hate crimes and repeatedly called on actors of such crime to “stop it.”
Trump’s victory speech on election night was given rave reviews by pundits from both sides of the political spectrum. Trump reached out to all Americans when his victory was apparent. Also, Trump’s visit to the White House with President Obama earned strong marks from viewers as a sign of good faith from both men.
On the other hand, Reid’s language post-election has been nowhere near the stratosphere of “healing.” On the Friday following Election Day, Reid called Trump a “sexual predator” who fueled his campaign with “hate” and “bigotry.” Reid even questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s victory, citing his loss of the popular vote.
How on Earth is this meant to unify a nation after a long fought election battle? Now Reid is calling on Trump to heal wounds after he’s been stoking the flames with gasoline? Perhaps Harry Reid should call out the mass protests across the nation over a democratically elected president-to-be. Numerous reports of Trump supporters being beaten up, even having a car stolen, has made waves across the news.
Should we expect a man who openly lied about the past Republican presidential nominee to take the high road? For those who may have forgotten, Reid claimed during the 2012 election that a source told him that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes in years. After the allegation was revealed to be bogus, Reid laughed it off.
But...Romney in Trump's CABINET??
Didn't the American People reject this LOSER already before???
But their SCRIPTURES say...
The
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 71
Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.
1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.
1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.
2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.
3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.
5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;
6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.
7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.
8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.
9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;
10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.
11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.
1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.
I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

JS had his own gun IN JAIL!!!
RUMORS???
Interesting statement; considering...
"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
