Senate Dem leader accuses GOP of ‘moral cowardice’ on Trump

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid on Thursday accused the House and Senate Republican leadership of “moral cowardice” for failing to stand up to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

a speech on GOP policies and Trump’s success, the Nevada Democrat said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have tried to have it both ways. They intend to support the eventual nominee, Reid said, but assail Trump for his call to bar Muslims from the United States and his slow disavowal of support from white supremacist groups.

“Giving Trump a slap on the wrist each time he says something detestable, but always committing to support him at the end of the day,” Reid said in a speech at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. “This is precisely the kind of moral cowardice that enabled the rise of Trump.”

Obviously, Republicans should listen to advice from Dems, regarding whom they should elect and support as Republican presidential nominee. (/sarc)

Harry Reid bashes republicans for being who Reid has wanted them to be, counted on them being, for a decade or more.

I agree with Reid that the GOP is guilty of moral cowardice. They never fought him enough.

My number one rule is leftist POS do not lecture me on morality.

File under dead in Benghazi, millions dead in Iraq, Syria, Indochina, Libya, abortion, no God in school, kids that can’t read, millions of illegals,WOP (war on police), Bill Clinton, Clinton Foundation. On and on.

Harry Reid is an immoral lying corrupt stealing murdering scumbag and I wouldn’t give him more that my foot on the seat of his pants.

Surprised that Reid even spoke the words “moral cowardice” and was not stuck dead by lightning!

Imagine how despicable a person has to be to support corrupt Harry Reid, communist Bernie Sanders or the woman harassing beast Hilary Clinton?

Hey Harry, before the GOPe can “stand up” they have to grow backbones.

Harry, you are a degraded criminal POS, but you have a backbone. I’ll give you that. I actually respect you more than Boehner or Ryan McCain or any of those other GOPe quislings. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see you in prison though. That would be great. In a cell next to that obvious psychopath Pelosi.

And the front runner of the DEMs is a serial liar potentially facing a criminal indictment, who’s having a hard time beating a 74 year old Communist.

It’s obvious Dingy Harry’s mob buddies didn’t beat all the crap out of him. He still has some left for the Senate floor.
