Outgoing Senator Harry Reid continues to do his best to divide the country and invalidate the mandate of the incoming president. Tuesday Reid took to the Senate floor and blamed Trump for a crime wave.
“A man who lost the election by two million votes or more is now the president-elect,” Reid said. “His election sparked a wave of hate crimes across America,” Reid added. Reid went on to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center as the source of his information.
The SPLC has been encouraging people to report hate crimes using a form on their website. SPLC is currently claiming there have been 437 hate incidents since Trump’s election. Some of those were reported by local news sources but the majority appear to have come from people filling out the web form, meaning they probably haven’t been investigated.
Reason has highlighted a number of alleged hate crimes or incidents which appear to have been fabricated. There are also categories of incidents such as “swastika” which may be being generated by people looking to protest Trump’s election. For instance, in San Francisco a man raised a Nazi flag outside his home only to have people assume he was welcoming in the new Reich. In fact, he was protesting Trump.
Scary Harry needs to leave america along with those celberties maybe him and his pinhead son Rory can go live on jupiter with cher
Well, consider the source: a sniveling, lying, obstructive liberal (sorry about all the redundancies).
Anyone who gives that lying vile troll any consideration beyond what you would give to a dog turd you scrape off your shoe is wasting neuronal energy far better spent designing ways to overturn the evil Reid and his anti-American ilk have foisted upon the country during the worm’s period of attacking out national values while he was befouling the Senate.
Harry Reid is the typical liberal. They can never accept blame. They must always place the blame on someone else with the help of the MSM and hope it sticks. That train has left the station and Harry was caught in the bathroom stall playing footsie with someone in the net stall.
Harry and the media lying to us.
We can only hope that the Trump swamp draining includes an investigation into the Reid family’s corrupt personal deals with China.
