Harry Reid

It is rather enjoyable watching these clowns call each other racists for a change.

A major Democratic donor and activist Friday blasted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s endorsement of Rep. Chris Van Hollen in the Maryland Senate race, which could feature high-profile black Democrats Rep. Donna Edwards and former NAACP head Ben Jealous, who are mulling a run in the state that is 30% black.

“For Harry Reid to come out and endorse Van Hollen is insulting period,” said Steve Phillips, the founder of the progressive group PowerPAC+. Phillips, a lawyer and longtime San Francisco activist, gave the maximum $30,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “But to do it on the anniversary of the Selma 50th anniversary — to make an endorsement that would make the Senate less diverse — is outrageous and insulting.”

In a statement, Reid said that, “not only would Chris Van Hollen be the best and most effective person for the job, I have no doubt that he is in the best and strongest position to make sure that this Senate seat remains in Democratic hands in a state that just elected a Republican governor.”
