What’s Been Going on With Harry Reid the Past Couple Days?
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has had a wild past few days. Reid told a fellow Democrat he wants him to lose, forgot how many grandchildren he has, and told Sen. Rand Paul on the Senate floor he can’t imagine how his “good father” feels about Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Reid couldn’t stay on message and split with Sen. Chuck Schumer and other senior Democrats and said that Hillary Clinton if elected should re-nominate Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. That same day while speaking in the senate, he broke protocol and directly addressed the presiding officer, who at the time was Sen. Paul.
“Mr. President I’m sorry to direct attention to the presiding officer but I can’t imagine how the presiding officer must feel with Donald Trump being the leader of the Republican Party. I can’t imagine. I can’t imagine what your good father thinks of Donald Trump leading the Republican Party,” Reid said.
He added, “But I can imagine and I have a number of times.” Rand Paul has said he will support Trump while his father Ron has come out against the billionaire businessman . . .
The following day, Thursday, Reid let everyone have it. “Since the Republican leader is all in for Donald Trump, you can only assume he approves Trump’s calling immigrants rapists and murderers,” he said. He added that McConnell agrees, “with Trump’s view that women are dogs and pigs. You can only assume that he’s not repulsed by his behavior toward women.” (Read more from “What’s Been Going on With Harry Reid the Past Couple Days?” HERE)
