Harry Reid Attacks Republicans’ Patriotism For Enabling Donald Trump
Source: Huffington Post
PHILADELPHIA ― Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) delivered a characteristically scathing indictment of congressional Republicans in his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, once again blaming them for the rise of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Reid, who has accused Republicans of sowing the political seeds for Trumps demagoguery in the past, reserved his harshest criticism for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Ive never seen anything more craven than Mitch McConnell and what he has done to our democracy, Reid said.
His Republican Party decided that the answer to hardworking Americans dreams is to slander our African-American president, stoke fear of Muslims, sow hatred of Latinos, insult Asians and, of course, wage war against women, Reid added. In other words, the only thing Republicans, like Mitch McConnell, have accomplished is setting the stage for a hateful con man, Donald Trump.

The time is definitely ripe for the Dems to take advantage of this very clear implication of the choices of ideology over country the Pukes have been making for many years.
