Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has had a lot to say about Donald Trump.
He bluntly called the Republican nominee a "racist" ahead of Monday's debate. Last week, it was "scammer in chief," as Trump continued to resist releasing his tax returns. In August, he challenged Trump to take a U.S. citizenship test.
And on Thursday, Reid used a few minutes on the Senate floor to deliver his latest invective against Trump, and widened it to include the Republican Party.
"The only thing Republicans have done this year was to prove that they are the party of Trump," Reid said. "They are the party of Trump. They say they're not the party of Trump, but they are. They would have us believe that Trump just fell out of the sky and somehow mysteriously became the nominee of the party."
Trump, he said, is "their Frankenstein monster."
Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reid, the Nevada Democrat who has served in the Senate since 1987, will retire next year and has used these final months of his tenure to assail Trump and Republicans.
In Nevada, he has also interjected himself in the state's competitive race for his seat, stumping for former Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto in her contest with GOP Rep. Joe Heck.
On Thursday, Reid, an ardent defender of President Barack Obama, also castigated Republicans for their treatment of the outgoing president.
"Everything, anything that President Obama wanted _ they filibustered things they agreed with just to slow things down," Reid said. "Trump is no anomaly."
