Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) blasted his Republican colleagues Wednesday for keeping mum after Donald Trump’s controversial statements about illegal immigration.
“I’ve heard the comments. They’re distasteful, disgusting and frankly, I’m terribly disappointed that my Republican colleagues here in leadership positions in the Senate and those running for president have basically kept their mouths shut,” Reid told reporters.
“I think that’s unfortunate, and I think that speaks of where the Republican Party is today,” he added.
Trump fueled a storm of controversy by claiming during his presidential campaign kickoff that illegal immigrants from Mexico are bringing drugs and crime over the border.
He also said the illegal border crossers include "rapists," and claimed “tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border.”
