Reid’s office calls on Trump to stop ‘hiding behind his Twitter’
New York Post by Marisa Schultz November 14, 2016
WASHINGTON — Harry Reid lashed out at Donald Trump on Sunday after Trump’s campaign manager warned that the Senate minority leader should be “very careful” about his insults against the incoming president.
“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, deputy chief of staff for Reid (D-Nev.), said in a Sunday statement. “… Instead of rising to the responsibility of his office, Trump is hiding behind his Twitter account and sending his staff on TV to threaten his critics.”
Kellyanne Conway accused Reid on “Fox News Sunday” of inciting protesters and causing “havoc” with his response to Hillary Clinton’s stunning defeat.
Reid on Friday called Trump a “sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate.”
“He should be very careful about characterizing somebody in a legal sense,” Conway told “Fox News Sunday.” “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.”
Asked specifically if Trump was threatening a lawsuit against Reid, Conway said “no,” that he’s calling for “maturity and decency.”
Conway called on President Obama to make Reid stop his name-calling and give Trump a fair chance.
“I hope President Obama calls Harry Reid today and says, cut it out,” Conway said.
But Reid said it’s Trump’s responsibility to address post-election incidents of hate speech against Muslims, Jews, women and minorities — including a planned KKK victory parade.
“If this is going to be a time of healing, Trump must take action immediately to stop the acts of hate and threats of violence that are being committed in his name across the country,” Jentleson said. “Trump owes the nation leadership, not petty attempts to silence his critics.”
(This is the same "Big Lie" that twat Lesley Stahl was peddling on Sixty Minutes. There are no instances of Trump supporters attacking minorities. In fact it is Trump supporters who are being attacked. Or innocent white drivers being pulled out of their cars and attacked. This is just more of the Democratic and media lies to rile up their base. Trump should take every means necessary to combat it.Tweet out that they are lying scumbags. Do whatever it takes. Including legal action against the media if it is warranted. Or better yet deny their credentials. They have a right to report the news. They don't have the right to all the perks that they get. Let them be on the outside looking in. Maybe they will actually get out and report something.)

That Reid takes a beating good...real good.
C'mon. in your heart of hearts wouldn't you like to experience life as a genuine to the bone gonif?*
*Look the word up yourself! What am I, a cultural enricher?
Kellyanne's gonna run Harry out of DC.
Maybe she'll whack him in the other eye.
PS That title quote is exactly it. You can't be nice to the Lefties; they think it's a sign of weakness.
I'm going to presume that asking Obama to control Reid is humor intended to make a point.
Keep talking, Dirty Harry.
I'm surprised someone hasn't kicked his teeth in.
Harry is going to become a private citizen really soon. Me and Harry might have a date.
I haven't watched 60 minutes in 20 years, and I surprised that Stahl was still on. Fuck, what is she 80 years old? I can remember watching her as a College kid in the early 1980s.
60 minutes needs some new blood. Like someone under 65.
Harry Reid gets away with this because he has legislative privilege. I'd say it's time for a re-think on that but his arrogance inspired so much off-putting arrogance from the rest of his party that maybe that privilege should stay just the way it is. Let them talk.
I still wonder how he really got that face injury. I don't believe the weasel has exercised a day in his life so the whole "hit in the face with an exercise band" thing is not credible. Who is the hero of our time who punched Harry Reid right in the face? He needs to have a statue in his honor somewhere.
Can we get Harry Reid's brother to go beat his ass again? I would contribute to that.
I haven't watched 60 Minutes in 20 -25 years when I realized they had a left wing agenda. And their talking heads are all fossils, older than me even- wtf would I want to watch a bunch of turkey neck libs making shit up.
AJ Lynch, agreed. I watched a few minutes to see Trump.
I saw it on Youtube. It was the same ridiculous bullshit that they always pull.
Donald Trump extended his hand and people like Harry Reid and the news media and the liberals have smacked it away and threw shit at him.
Do they really think that Donald J Trump is the kind of guy who is going to take that shit?
They should reassess their position toot suite.
Troop, they know that he can fuck them over right now.
And he will.
Too bad!
60 minutes needs some new blood. Like someone under 65.
I was so surprised by how old and tired Leslie Stalh looked, I googled her age during a commercial break to learn she's 74 instead of 80 something. (Barbara Walters is 87!) Stalh is four years older than Donald Trump and looks like his mother. Acted like it too. The bright red lipstick didn't help, nor did the bird-bright gotcha-type questions and artificial responses.
By comparison, the Trump family came across as fresh, vital, and connected to present day reality.
HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mama, you got it, Stahl's been around for 40 years and not only is the mileage showing, but also the mean.
She's the Megyn of the 20th century.
