Labrador Denounces Comments From Harry Reid

Press Release

"Harry Reid's latest race-baited words are simply unacceptable to all members of the Hispanic community and I fully expect his party and Walt Minnick to condemn these terrible comments immediately."

August 11, Boise. Republican congressional candidate Raul Labrador, condemned in the strongest possible way the ill-tempered, ignorant comments uttered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage can be a Republican. Do I need to say more?" Labrador, who was born in Puerto Rico, issued the following statement today on the aforementioned comments:

"I cannot believe an elected leader of Harry Reid's stature can continue to make racist comments about huge numbers of Americans. Harry Reid's latest race-baited comments are simply unacceptable to all members of the Hispanic community. Denigrating the entire Republican Hispanic community, including myself, is simply outrageous. Contrary to Senator Reid's beliefs, the Latino community is perfectly capable of making choices of political affiliation that are in its best interests, including being Republicans."

"Statements such as these prove the message of the Democrat Party as one of inclusiveness and tolerance is nothing more than cynical political posturing. I expect the Democrat Party that continues to keep Reid in a position of Leadership to denounce his statements and I fully expect my opponent Walt Minnick to condemn these terrible comments immediately."
