Harry Reid is right: Donald Trump has no legitimacy until he walks back the vileness

[DonViejo]

Should we accept Donald Trump as a normal president? Only if he starts acting like one, which isn't likely

PAUL ROSENBERG

Sen. Harry Reid is right, and he’s been right since his first tweet challenging President-elect Donald Trump, with a blistering press release attached.

-snip-

Perhaps because he’s retiring from politics, Reid took aim at Trump in a way few other prominent elected Democrats have done, and spoke out loudly on behalf of those Trump has threatened on his way to the White House:

We as a nation must find a way to move forward without consigning those who Trump has threatened to the shadows. Their fear is entirely rational, because Donald Trump has talked openly about doing terrible things to them.

But Reid also called out those who are eager to normalize Trump, and who would once again help him get away with dodging his moral responsibility:

Every news piece that breathlessly obsesses over inauguration preparations compounds their fear by normalizing a man who has threatened to tear families apart, who has bragged about sexually assaulting women and who has directed crowds of thousands to intimidate reporters and assault African Americans. Their fear is legitimate and we must refuse to let it fall through the cracks between the fluff pieces.
