Sen. Manchin calls Harry Reid ‘absolute embarrassment’ for anti-Trump rant

WT-

Sen. Joe Minchin delivered a sharp rebuke Friday to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid for denouncing Americans who elected Donald Trump.

“Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation,” Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said in a statement released late Friday.

“I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” said Mr. Manchin, one of the most conservative Democrats in the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress.

Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, lashed out at Americans who backed Mr. Trump, saying they confirmed the ascendance of “hate and bigotry in America.”

“Watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like America,” said Mr. Reid, who is retiring from the Senate this year.  more here

  1. Reid has always been subtle.
    Even a keen observer could well miss his neural activity.

    But he apparently has excellent sources of information. I wonder if those sources will transfer to Shumer?

  2. Reid is a disgusting individual. He should apologize to God for wasting oxygen, space, food, his sorry life…. everything. Worthless. Good riddance, Reid. (I could be more explicit but I don’t talk like that.)

  3. I respect Manchin less than Reid. He was the deciding vote on Obama care. And here’s the deal, I don’t ever remember him saying anything negative about the Anti Christ, Reid until now. Not to mention all the anti gun shit he’s voted for. Mr. NRA.

  4. Manchin remains the premier Democrat opportunist bullshitter in the Senate.
    “I’m a Conservative, he says. Until a crucial lib vote needs him. (See: ObamaCare.)
    “Harry Reid doesn’t speak for me,” Manchin says. Four years after Crazy Harry Reid took to the Senate floor every day after day to accuse Romney of not paying taxes (If anything, Romney overpays taxes by not taking every single deduction) or killing people.
    Where has Manchin been all these years the coal killing climate change regulations have been foisted on us by Obama’s EPA? He could have spoken against the EPA … could’ve started a movement.
    No, Manchin goes along low-key, sides with the Libs for years, then jumps ship (maybe?) when the opportunities shift.

  5. Joe Manchin became a Senator Nov 15th, 2010. Obamacare, was passed in the senate on December 24, 2009, and passed in the house on March 21, 2010. It was signed into law by Obumbles on March 23rd, 2010

    JM did not cast a deciding vote for Obamacare. He was still governor of WV when Obamacare was passed. His predecessor Jay Rockefeller cast the deciding vote.

    However, I have little doubt JM would have voted for it if he had been a senator at the time.

    He clearly paraded around with a rifle in his hands droning on about hunting when he was seeking the office. Then immediately after becoming a senator became Obama’s waterboy carrying the message for gun control. Teaming up with Sen Toomey if I recall correctly. Weakening restrictions on government from infringing on our rights and liberties means little to Joe.

    He plays the same game they all do, they stab the citizens of their state, and the country, in the back just after winning election. Then during the 12 months before reelection time, go the extra 10 miles in support of things that are very important to their constituents.

    Their own form of taqyya

  7. Harry who? Barry who? Hillary who? Michele who? Bill who?

    All FIRED-not by Trump, but the American people by a HUGE margin (especially if you take away dead and double and illegal Soros votes).

    So stop PAYING the protestors and crybabies. Soon even they will be saying WHO!

  8. Every.Single.One of the democRATs who voted for O-care were the deciding vote. It doesn’t matter who cast the final vote that put it over the minimum, any of them who voted for it are just as responsible and they did it with malice aforethought.

  9. They should put that whizzled old bastard out in the desert to die and dry, and when he’s been sufficiently sunbaked, beat his withered carcass with a baseball bat until there’s nothing but dust.
