Outgoing Senator Harry Reid continues to do his best to divide the country and invalidate the mandate of the incoming president. Tuesday Reid took to the Senate floor and blamed Trump for a crime wave.

“A man who lost the election by two million votes or more is now the president-elect,” Reid said. “His election sparked a wave of hate crimes across America,” Reid added. Reid went on to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center as the source of his information.

The SPLC has been encouraging people to report hate crimes using a form on their website. SPLC is currently claiming there have been 437 hate incidents since Trump’s election. Some of those were reported by local news sources but the majority appear to have come from people filling out the web form, meaning they probably haven’t been investigated.

Reason has highlighted a number of alleged hate crimes or incidents which appear to have been fabricated. There are also categories of incidents such as “swastika” which may be being generated by people looking to protest Trump’s election. For instance, in San Francisco a man raised a Nazi flag outside his home only to have people assume he was welcoming in the new Reich. In fact, he was protesting Trump.

And this is not the first time anti-GOP graffiti has included Nazi-references. Last month someone spray painted houses across the street from Senator Pat Toomey’s home, one of which read, “Look out Toomey and your neo-Nazi Republicans.” And when a campaign office in North Carolina was firebombed earlier in October someone painted graffiti on an adjacent building which read, “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.” That graffiti also included a swastika. SPLC reports 35 incidents involving swastikas in their tally. Surely some of those could have been the work of people unhappy over the election results.

No doubt some of the incidents SPLC cites are real and disturbing, but without knowing how many are legitimate and how many are simply the results of misunderstood protests or children parroting something they have heard, it’s a going too far to blame Trump for a “wave of hate crimes.” Politico reports that Sen. Joe Manchin has not been impressed with Harry Reid’s tone. On Friday he called it, “an absolute embarrassment.”

It’s also the case that Trump himself was asked about this behavior and made it very clear he did not support it and wanted it to stop. Here’s Reid’s full statement:
