Reid: Clinton lost because of ‘Republican operative’ James Comey
Reid said that he did not want Democrats to blindly obstruct Republican legislation, stating that the mission for the party should be to educate the voters about why the policies in question are destructive.
“We as Democrats have to stand for something to show the difference between Trump and us,” Reid said. “I think we have to speak out … the Republicans didn’t speak out, they just stopped us procedurally.
“I believe that we have a different obligation. I think we have to be talking over time — if we don’t like something, tell everybody why. Don’t just block things as they did.”
Additionally, Reid criticized Trump’s potential Cabinet picks including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton.
“Giuliani to be secretary of State, I mean, what, he’s been to Canada? What’s this all about? He’s a lobbyist, he was mayor of New York City,” Reid added.
