Reid: Republicans should denounce Carson's 'disgusting remarks'

By Mark Hensch



Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is calling on Republicans to repudiate presidential candidate Ben Carson's remarks that Muslims are not fit to be president.

“I call on every Republican to denounce Ben Carson’s disgusting remarks,” Reid tweeted on Monday. “That shameful intolerance and bigotry should have no place here.

“Kareem Khan sacrificed everything for his country,” he added, tweeting a picture of a grave bearing that name.  “Shame on Carson for denigrating him and all Muslim Americans.”

I would hope that Dr. Carson stands firm on his principles and beliefs.

In my script to shake the race up, I'd have Ben pull a Donald and tell Reid to "Kiss my black a$$!!!" 

Actually, social media today DEMANDS a response like that.

You have no place in the Senate, Mr. Reid, but that hasn't prompted you to resign, has it?

Still not grasping what was "disgusting" (as opposed to accurate) about Carson's comment.

Harry, please, just eat bovine excrement and die.

What disgusting remarks Reid? The truth is 'disgusting' to you? Of course it is.

Harry Reid is the poster child for 'disgusting.'

Ben Carson spoke the truth, and he's not backing down.

Good for him!
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
