Former Attorney General Eric Holder said at a recent campaign event that when Republicans "go low," Democrats should "kick them" in response, video that surfaced Wednesday shows.
Holder, while campaigning for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D), said that it's time for Democrats to be as "tough," "dedicated" and "committed" as Republicans are.
"Michelle (Obama) always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. When they go low, we kick them. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about," he said.
Holder, who has said he is interested in a possible 2020 White House bid, also said that Republicans have used their power "for all the wrong things."
“They’ve tried to racial gerrymander, they’ve tried to partisan gerrymander. ... They want to keep themselves in power. They want to cater to the special interests,” Holder said.
"We’re in this to win," he added. "And the reality is if we don’t win, people who are less committed, less idealistic, less imbued with the values that make this nation really great will run this country.”
Representatives for Holder did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
Holder's comments surfaced one day after Hillary Clinton dismissed the idea of civility between Democrats and Republicans, saying that "you cannot be civil with" the Republican Party because it "wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about."
"If we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength," Clinton said in an interview with CNN.
Is he planning a run?
Video at link.
I hope so
The more Nutcases the Dims run, the more ridiculous they look
And the more idiotic s***they will say
Says the guy hiding out in San Francisco protected by BLM, SEIU and legion of lawyers and armed guards.
Yeah, him and Wiener are going to run as a ticket. Wiener/Holder 2020.
Why did Eric kill 300 poor, innocent, brown Mexicans via Fast and Furious?
I canNOT believe Holder just said that at a public meeting.
This remark will come back to haunt him, just wait & see.
Is Eric trying to out do Hillary with irresponsible, inflammatory remarks?
We need more of his street fighting style on our side. Pls don’t confuse this as an endorsement of him.
No Holder, you kick them when they are high. You can’t stand it when fine upstanding people enter office.
We’ve been on to you for decades.
Go lie to someone else.
The party of kindness and compassion

Sounds like a jack booted thug.
Holder is a pathetic political hack and he was one of the worst AG’s in American history. His master has always been Hillary and Bill Clinton and he worships them and Obama like some people worship their God.
It is truly disgusting to hear the bitterly partisan words that spew from his putrid pie-hole. I wonder.... Am I going low enough for you now Eric?
Yeah, him and Wiener are going to run as a ticket. Wiener/Holder 2020.
HOLDER WEINER 2020!!
Lock him up!
More Dems promoting violence - let the record reflect these ongoing calls for violence.
Man someone needs to create a quick video of Holder saying that followed by the loser man kicking the women out of his mean spirited liberal woman hate.
Hope so as well. It is a glorious show when a bunch of liberals try to 'out-left' each other.
There is a nice 9x12 with your name on it at GTMO, Derrick.
Man they are giving Trump so much material for his speeches LOL
