Harry Reid is under attack for endorsing a white guy in the Maryland Senate race

(Before It's News)

 Harry Reid has endorsed Chris Van Hollen in the Maryland Senate race and for this he has come under attack by a major Democratic donor for endorsing a white guy.

  Here is part of the statement Harry Reid made in endorsing Chris Van Hollen:

“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.”

  But simply being the “best and most effective person for the job” and being the person who is in the “best and strongest position to make sure the Senate seat remains in Democratic hands” is not a good enough reason for Harry Reid to endorse Chris Van Hollen according to Democratic donor Steve Phillips–in fact he claims it is “insulting.”

  Here is more on this:

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.”

  Of course Harry Reid did not endorse Van Hollen because he is white–at I do not think so, maybe he is a closet racist–but rather because he has the most experience and is more of an establishment candidate. But I have to admit I am enjoying seeing a Democrat being accused of what so often they accuse Republicans of doing. A little schadenfreude has never hurt anyone, has it?
