Harry Reid attacks Bundys on Senate floor, calls for Gold Butte protection
Las Vegas Review Journal ^ | 4-7-2016 | Jeff German

Posted on 04/08/2016 9:09:24 AM PDT by azkathy

With the “outrageous lawbreaker” Cliven Bundy and four of his sons in custody, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada took to the Senate floor Thursday to renew his push to preserve the scenic Gold Butte area northeast of Las Vegas.

“Because of trouble caused by the Bundys and their pals, the federal employees tasked with safely guarding these antiquities, were prevented from doing their jobs,” he said.

Reid also called attention in his speech to the armed takeover of a government wildlife refuge in Oregon earlier this year “by a dangerous group of militants” that included Bundy family members.

Reid said the Bundy patriarch has been “breaking federal laws for decades,” adding, “I’m disappointed that some of my colleagues supported this outrageous lawbreaker.”

Bundy is in federal custody facing 16 felony charges stemming from the April 12, 2014, armed standoff with law enforcement near his Bunkerville ranch, which is part of the Gold Butte area.

In court papers earlier this week, his defense lawyer, Joel Hansen, called Bundy a political prisoner — like the late South African president and civil rights activist Nelson Mandela — who is being punished for exercising his First Amendment rights.

“Harry Reid’s comments just serve to prove that Cliven and his sons and the rest of the cowboys who came there (Bunkerville) to help are political prisoners,” Hansen said Thursday. “Now we have one of the most powerful men in America, Harry Reid, saying that they ought to be in prison.

“Is Harry Reid the judge in this case or is he trying to improperly influence and poison the jury pool so that they will follow his opinion when they get to the jury box?”

Political pezzonovante Reid just wants to dip his beak.
And punish the peasants for their temerity in opposing him..
It’s the Uniparty Way.

Hairy is a secular humanist. The difference between Hairy and the Mormons is like the difference between Muslims and Christians.

“Hairy is a secular humanist. The difference between Hairy and the Mormons is like the difference between Muslims and Christians.”

Harry is a Mormon in good standing with the Mormon Church. My wife was raised a Mormon in Las Vegas, so we know all about Harry and the Mormon Church! Not withstanding what he really is, a “secular humanist” or just a plain old piece of unadulterated $hit!

"We have lost, because we no longer stand together."

LaVoy Finicum was willing to stand and proved his faith and belief in our freedom by giving his life in joining his fellow ranchers.

The rest of us can do more than respond by preaching to the choir.

Yes, and it shows. His new GOPe campaign handlers are right at it. Doing what Rinos do best. Attack conservatives with an insidious lie about Cruz and his supporters being...now get this...ANTISEMITIC.

Yeah, me too.

So Donny calls in a favor from the Schumer slime machine to plant a false story...it gains legs...it goes national on CNN Friday night...and YEEEEEHAAAAAAHHHH.....we conservatives are all antisemitic now.

THANKS TRUMP!
