Harry Reid: Donald Trump is a "racist"

Harry Reid called Donald Trump a racist on the Senate floor Monday, an escalation in the Nevada lawmaker's war of words against the GOP presidential nominee in recent weeks.

"Donald Trump is a racist," he said.
Reid's direct comment goes further than the retiring five-term senator was willing to ten days ago during an interview with CNN's Manu Raju. When asked then if he thought Trump is a racist, Reid responded: "All you guys have a job to do. You make that decision. I'm not going to."

Previously, Reid excoriated Trump from the Senate floor, calling him a "spoiled brat," "a con artist" and a "human leech who will bleed the country."

I, of course, agree with Harry. I have a feeling Lester Holt will ask Secretary Clinton tonight if she agrees with her "surrogate's" assessment of Trump and what do you think Hillary should or will say?
