"GOP slams Reid remark as insult to Hispanics
LAS VEGAS — Senate majority leader Harry Reid said he cannot understand why Hispanics would vote for Republicans, a remark that drew immediate criticism from Republicans.
Speaking Tuesday at an event promoting English language education, the Nevada Democrat took a swipe at Republicans in Washington, whom he blames for blocking legislation to overhaul the immigration system. The Senate leader said the GOP’s record should dissuade Hispanic voters from supporting Republicans.
“I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK?’’ Reid said in a video posted online and circulated by Republicans. “Do I need to say more?’’
Umm, opposition to abortion (to name one)?
Republicans assailed the comments.
“He is making this a race issue. It isn’t. This is a border security issue,’’ said Bob Ruckman, chairman of Nevada’s Clark County Republican Party. “Reid is fear-mongering, appealing to the Hispanic voters by insulting their intelligence and reverting to group-think politics.’’
It is the ONLY WAY Democrats think they can win -- and it is just making things worse.
The ELECTION is about the ECONOMY and the UNENDING WARS, sorry!
ALL INCUMBENTS OUT!!!
Reid’s campaign stood by the comments, saying his “contention was simply that he doesn’t understand how anyone, Hispanic or otherwise, would vote for Republican candidates’’ and cited GOP opposition to a $26 billion bill to protect 300,000 teachers, police, and others from election-year layoffs.
That is not what you said.
