It turns out New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn’t the only prominent Democrat who questions whether America was ever that great.
In pointed terms during an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Obama-era attorney general Eric Holder posed the question to MAGA-chanting Trump supporters: "Exactly when did you think America was great?"
HOLDER ANNOUNCES HE WON'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020
The comments echoed those of Cuomo, who took heavy criticism for remarking last year that America “was never that great.” Together, both off-the-cuff comments amount to stunning statements from public figures who until recently were considered potential presidential candidates. In both cases, the Democrats took shots at America's past as part of an effort to criticize President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
After speaking during Wednesday's MSNBC interview with Holder on topics like criminal justice reform and partisan redistricting – which the ex-AG says is now his focus instead of running for the White House in 2020 – host Ari Melber had asked him: “There is a lot of talk about America being a leader as a democracy, quote unquote, in the 1800s when women and African-Americans couldn’t vote. What kind of democracy is that?”
Holder, unprovoked, then used his answer to tear into Trump's campaign rally cry.
"That's exactly right. And that's what I hear these things about 'let’s make America great again' and I think to myself, ‘exactly when did you think America was great’?” he said on the show.

Not from 2008 - 2016.
It was great when they were handing out millions and billions of taxpayer money to all their buds.
Whatever Eric. Run for president.
“Exactly when did you think America was great?”
November 7, 2016 at about 2:30 am local time. I poured 3 fingers of 18 year old Scotch, lit up a fine cigar, and laughed and laughed and laughed.
I laughed so loudly I woke up my neighbors.

I hate the phrase ‘partisan redistricting”
ALL redistricting is partisan; always has, always will be until we use a computer algorithm of some sort that creates the most compact districts. The word ‘gerrymander’ goes back a LONG ways.
When Eric’s sorry ass became irrelevant.
America was certainly not great when Holder and Obama were promoting race riots.
Gee, Eric....maybe ask the people of:
France
Belgium
Italy
Denmark
the NATO countries
the former Soviet Union whom we defeated in the Cold War
Western Pacific
South Korea
Israel
the freed slaves
The list could go on.
Eric Holder is a racist ...... to the bone
If he were not black, he would be nothing
I know America is great, because even an arrogant, Leftist, statist, lying, deceiving, dissembling, obfuscating, sneaking, tyrannical, low-life, corrupt, treasonous, corrosive, low-mental status no-load jackass like you [Eric Holder] has the capability to rise to high levels of power and wealth.
That means nearly anyone can rise up. That makes America Great by default.
You are too stupid to see it. You turd.
Eric would look great with his teeth in a snack Baggie.
These guys sound exactly like Soviet Propaganda. If it walks like a duck...
America was great on the day we flushed Jimmah Cahtah out of the White House.
I believe Holder is a Jamaican. For some odd reason, I have never seen anyone wear a cap that says “MJGA” or “Make Jamaica Great Again” as I’ve never heard anyone say it was great. Maybe “Make Jamaica Great” or make “Jamaica Tolerable so that Eric Holder can return there”.
This will kill any of his chances to be President.
Well, when he’s rotting in a jail cell somewhere, that will be an important step taken toward making America great again, regardless of his question as to when it was.
When the government didn’t tell me what gas mileage my car had to have, or how much water my toilet uses, or whether I have to wear a seat belt or a helmet, etc...
he is still nothing
You are free to leave.
Otherwise, drop dead, Eric the Black.
