Harry Reid: Release of Podesta emails same as 9-11 attack
The Democrats, specifically Harry Reid, have lost all sense of decency and proportion regarding the release of John Podesta's and the DNC's emails by WikiLeaks. They are trying to transform the hacking and release of these emails, which occurred because of the stupidity of Podesta, to an invasion by the Russians that caused the loss of Hillary Clinton's expected coronation to the Presidency. Worse, Reid assumes that the Russians hacked Podesta's emails and says this is the same as the attack on September 11, 2001.
Harry Reid said, "I think this is as big a deal as Watergate, 9/11…"
We all know that Harry is a rabid partisan hack who will say and do anything to win. But this is inexcusable and an insult to the 3,000 Americans killed by Muslim terrorists on September 11 and their families.
Will any Democrats disavow and condemn Reid's remarks? No, because Harry, as the retiring minority leader, is speaking for the Democratic Party, which includes the MSM. He is the designated hitter because he is retiring and has nothing to lose. The MSM, Obama, Hillary, Chuckie Schumer, and the rest of the Democrats have failed to condemn Reid.
Reid was the attack dog in 2012 when he lied that Mitt Romney had not paid his income taxes for ten years. Recently he bragged that he lied because it helped Obama win, saying, "They can call it whatever they want. Romney didn't win, did he?"
The Democrats and their cheerleaders in the MSM cannot accept that the voters rejected Hillary and elected Trump. So they are campaigning to discredit the election of Trump and weaken his presidency. It started with Jill Stein's recounts, supported by Hillary, which failed.
Now the Democrat narrative is that Hillary won the popular vote and the Russians interfered with the election to help Trump, which are two contradictory positions. The Democrats and MSM do not explain how Hillary won the popular vote if the Russians interfered with the election to help Trump. Maybe those crafty Russians affected only the vote in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin? The Democrat argument that the Russians acted to help Trump is pure speculation without any credible evidence. FBI director Comey and National Intelligence director James Clapper disagree with the opinion of CIA head John Brennan, who, according to Comey, takes his orders from Obama.
The Democrats and MSM do not deny the accuracy of the comments in the leaked emails. They are upset that the voters were informed about Hillary's lies and corruption and Obama's lies. Thus, the Democrats are putting out the story that the Russians hacked and released the emails to discredit the emails by attacking the messenger, the Russians. Harry Reid now compares the hacking to 9/11 as part of this campaign.
Harry Reid has sunk to a new low that even his critics did not foresee.
Have you no shame, Harry?
