Reid Statement on Republican Leaders' Failure to Revoke their Endorsement of Donald Trump

Statement

Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement on the cowardice of Senator McConnell's and Speaker Ryan's failure to revoke their endorsements of Donald Trump:

"Senator McConnell and Speaker Ryan approvingly spoke at Donald Trump's convention, endorsed Donald Trump for president and believe he is mentally fit to sit in the Oval Office. Occasional statements that do nothing to repudiate Donald Trump's words and actions are spineless. Anything short of revoking their endorsements is cowardice.

"It took less than two days for Senator McConnell to call for then-Rep. Todd Akin to end his Senate campaign citing Akin's "deeply offensive error at a time when his candidacy carries great consequence for the future of our country.' Donald Trump's candidacy carries even greater consequence, yet Senator McConnell remains silent.

"This shouldn't be hard. Donald Trump is a sexist and racist man who insults Gold Star parents, stokes fear of Muslims and sows hatred of Latinos. He should not be president and Republican leaders have a moral responsibility to say so‎."
