Trump Just Mocked Harry Reid’s Eye Injury. Reid’s Response Is PERFECT

In the latest insult from the rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist running for President for the right, Donald Trump had the audacity to make fun of Harry Reid for an injury that caused him to break four ribs, bones in his face and completely lose sight in one eye.

Reid had been working out with resistance bands in his new home earlier this month when one snapped, sending him flinging him into a file cabinet. When asked about a comment Reid made regarding Trump’s health, Trump responded with, “Harry Reid? I think he should go back and start working out again with his rubber work-out pieces,” implying he should have another accident.

Reid furiously responded in an crushing statement: “Donald Trump can make fun of the injury that crushed the side of my face and took the sight in my right eye all he wants – I’ve dealt with tougher opponents than him,” Reid said in a statement Friday. “I may not be able to see out of my right eye, but with my good eye, I can see that Trump is a man who inherited his money and spent his entire life pretending like he earned it.”

So far in this campaign, Trump has insulted women, pastors, Vietnam veterans, the families of dead war heroes, judges, Hispanics… Now he can add the blind and the elderly to that deplorable laundry list of embarrassing incidents that shows there is no boundary Trump won’t breach or anyone he won’t insult if he feels threatened.

Making light of an accident that gave Harry Reid partial blindness? What a loathsome human being.

T-rump has disqualified him from the master race. HR has a physical imperfection, now, so he can't play in T-rump's end of the pool. Compare this to T-rump being the healthiest person ever to run for the Presidency. See a pattern?

People keep dishonoring swine by calling Trumpy a pig.

Personally, I refer to the Big Orange Cretin as "Toenail Fungus".

Harry Reid was an amateur lightweight boxer. In a Reid-Trump fight, I'd take Reid any day!

What kind of human being makes fun about someone else having such an accident with these kind of lasting consequences? We would scold our kids and be ashamed if they treated other kids like that. But a grown man running to be the President of the US can behave like that? I really think that Trump is a psychopath. He has absolutely no sense of decency or empathy.

kids are encouraged to be little assholes.

I've seen it over the years in schools I've taught in. Certain parents don't want their kids "brainwashed" with liberal values like compassion, kindness, tolerance, etc. I've often joked, though I no longer think it's funny, that the RW is going to outlaw Kindergarten. You know, where they try to turn kids into commies with all that talk about sharing and getting along with others!

is that the Donald will get a free pass on this hateful comment as he has on every other hateful comment he has made in this campaign. And that millions of Amurikans will flock to the polls to cast their ballots for the man who represents their "values."
