Donald Trump 'Fueled His Campaign With Bigotry and Hate,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid Says
ABC News ^ | Nov 11, 2016 | ALI ROGIN

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is not going quietly into retirement now that Donald Trump is the next president.

While many of his Democratic colleagues released conciliatory statements this week after Trump’s victory, the retiring Nevada senator issued a blistering statement today that blamed Trump for fostering an atmosphere of negativity and fear that many in both parties are now saying they must move beyond.

“If this is going to be a time of healing, we must first put the responsibility for healing where it belongs: at the feet of Donald Trump, a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate,” Reid, 76, said. “Winning the Electoral College does not absolve Trump of the grave sins he committed against millions of Americans. Donald Trump may not possess the capacity to assuage those fears, but he owes it to this nation to try.”

Give Harry a tin cup and cane on the way out- he’ll need it

most folks spewing about bigotry and hate have a wagon load of it themselves and are projecting.

Many conservatives fail to interpret Hillary’s axiom as do her supporters.

“Love Trumps Hate”

To the conservative who lives with the blessings of national governance through faith in Christ, the above statement appears to be analogous with, “Love perseveres over Hate”.

To the Hillary advocate, the statement communicates a command imperative to Love something. What is the object of their love? Trump’s hate, as they perceive it.

They act upon loving that which they perceive as “Trump’s Hate”.

The veracity of this interpretation is manifest in their overt behavior. They love to hate.

i take it as a misguided, actually hate-shot pseudo love that they are thinking of... whereas conservatives would think of a love on the order of what the bible talks about.

What Reid needs is another ass kicking like the one he “got from his exercise machine”...

For sure. So many of us in flyover country got fed us for being marginalized, insulated and directed to the back of the bus. Record voter turnout in my precinct who voted for Trump by an 813 to 330 margin. Even Bernie Sanders picked up over a dozen write in votes that should have gone to Hillary.
