Several hours after Donald Trump's campaign manager warned Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to be careful "in a legal sense" after he released a statement calling the president-elect a "sexual predator," Reid's spokesman criticized Trump for trying to "silence his critics with the threat of legal action."
“It only took five days for President-elect Trump to try to silence his critics with the threat of legal action. This should shock and concern all Americans," Adam Jentleson, Reid's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement released Sunday.
“Trump has always used threats and intimidation to silence his critics," Jentleson continued. "Now he wants to silence a discussion of the acts of hate and threats of violence being committed in his name across the country. Silencing this discussion normalizes hate and intimidates the victims."
On Sunday morning, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, appearing on "Fox News Sunday" with host Chris Wallace, said she found Reid's public comments about Trump and other Republicans "to be beyond the pale."
"He should be very careful about characterizing somebody in a legal sense. He thinks — he thinks he's just being some kind of political pundit there, but I would say be very careful about the way you characterize it," Conway said to Wallace.

And the Dems only have the woman card, the race card and fearmongering.
Exercise band...riiiiiggghhhtt. That was a “tune-up” meant to send a message.
LOL!!! OMGosh.. you made me laugh!! You have many friends here, Mr. *ontap! HA!HA!HA!
You just let us know how you *really* feel, when it comes to Hairy-Eye Can’t/read/anymore. lol.
FABULOUS!! Too TRUE!
I loved it when I heard Kelleyanne throw in the word, “legal”, during the interview. :)
That statement by Reid was something worthy of a sixth-grade bully. Shameful!
This senile, old bastard better be careful. He has been hiding in the well of the Senate for too long!
In a time of honor, Harry, men who were in disgrace, such as yourself, his friends would drink a toast to him, he would go into a small dark office with a desk and chair and nothing else. There would be a small derringer or pistol in the drawer. It was expected that he would do the right thing. We know you won’t do the right thing under any circumstances, so I thought I would tell you what was expected of men of honor who had become disgraced. As I say, there’s no use telling you.
This is rich coming from Harry Reid.
Leaving so soon, Harry? I’ll be doing flips and cartwheels and savoring some good Scotch and/or bourbon.
This is going to be a time of healing, all right - after decades of unopposed slander against everyone who is not a Democrat, the middle class has elected someone who will defend people against libel by Democrats. You do not get to unilaterally define “healing” and be the judge and jury over what “acts of hate and threats of violence” are challenged, and which are ignored.The healing process might get painful for the slanderers who think to have immunity just because they call themselves “Democrat politicians” or “objective journalists.”
Is there an online petition urging the Senate to Censure Harry Reid, before it’s too late?
