NV-Sen: Harry Reid Plays Hispanic Race Card – Puts Foot in Mouth Again

Nevada Democrat Senator Harry Reid in Nevada yesterday

Remember it was Harry Reid who dllcared the Iraq War was lost before the Bush/Petraeus SURGE. So, like Vice President Joe Biden, Reid puts his foot in his mouth again.

While campaigning in Nevada Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told an audience of mostly Hispanic voters: “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?”

Reid’s racially-charged comments come as the Nevada Democrat is
trying to boost Hispanic turnout in his bid for reelection this
November. Polls show, however, that Reid’s positions on immigration are
very unpopular with Nevada voters in general. Reid supports the Obama administration’s lawsuit against Arizona over its immigration law, but 63 percent of Nevada voters oppose the lawsuit, according to a Rasmussen poll.

Reid voted against a measure to complete a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border in May, but 68 percent of voters nationally support building a border fence, according to Rasmussen.

Now, GOP Senate challenger Sharron Angle will be running even MORE ads against the vulnerable Senate Majority Leader and highlighting his unpopular stance on illegal immigration. And, how many white, particularly Mormon voters did Reid turn off by playing the race card?

The television spots are being produced as this is posted – count on it.

The statement form the Angle campaign:

“Reid has said he’ll do more if re-elected–apparently that means more insensitive racial comments, more gaffes, more lame attempts to distract from what he has done to destroy the Nevada economy. With that said, I suppose Nevadans should just be glad he didn’t say anything racist about Hispanic people’s skin tone or ‘dialect’ this time.”

Also, I wonder how this will affect Harry Reid’s son, Rory’s campaign for Nevada governor? Rory Reid’s opponent is Brian Sandoval who is a Hispanic Republican, who, by the way, is leading in the polls.

A double FAMILY REID GAFFE.

But, true to form, Harry Reid is trying to spin his way out of the GAFFE.

Good luck with that……

    Harry Reid is an elitist and is in over his head. Records show that over 50% of Hispanic/Latino voters are leaning towards the Republican Party because they know that continued unemployment and welfare checks throughout life is NOT the way to a better life. Borrowing from taxpayers nationwide only continues this cycle. Jobs are the answer and Harry is out of touch with America being a millionaire in a cloud of his own. Illegal immigration has its own under tones and here they are:
