When Donald Trump shot off his mouth about Gold Star father, Khizr Khan, Democrats and Republicans alike were quick to criticize Trump for being an sorry excuse for a human being. And rightfully so. As unmanly and petty as Donald Trump is, he can’t hold a candle to Harry Reid, the one-eyed mouse of the Senate:

In an extensive interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal he also called Patricia Smith, the mother of a State Department employee slain in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, “crazy” for her speech at the GOP convention questioning Hillary Clinton’s behavior. Mr. Reid then tried to tack back that characterization and instead accused Mrs. Smith of lack of accuracy.”

The reason Reid is calling Patricia Smith “crazy” is because he is a delusional liar who has lost the ability, either through dementia or long practice, to tell truth from fantasy. Or maybe being punched in the face by parties unknown rattled his brains as well as knocking his eye out. This seems to be be something that Reid realizes.

“I tell the truth,” he told the Reno newspaper, before correcting himself: “It may not be the truth, it’s how I feel.”

Ms. Smith’s complaint is that Hillary Clinton lied to her when they met at Dover AFB to receive the body of their son who was killed at Benghazi because of Hillary Clinton’s blindingly incompetent management of the Libyan situation and her COUNTERMANDING THE ORDERS OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TO SEND A RELIEF FORCE TO BENGHAZI.

These are not feelings. These are facts. All the families agree that Hillary Clinton blamed a silly internet video for the attack on the Benghazi consulate. Why wouldn’t she? She was telling the nation the same thing and she sent Susan Rice out the following Sunday to lie on all the talk shows. We know for a fact that she knew the video was not to blame because we have the email she sent to Chelsea Clinton (here going by her “cover name” of Diane Reynolds — it was either that or be known as Socks Pennsylvania:

What is striking about this is that no Democrat will ever say squat to Harry Reid about this vile slander of a woman who lost her son to monumental incompetence. There will be no talk of giving a grieving parent room to express their grief. This is for the simple reason that with the Democrats human decency extends only to the extent that they can club their opponents with it.
