'It could have been a PR disaster for the president': Eric Holder cancels police academy graduation speech as lawmaker planned protest demanding impeachment

US attorney general was to address police academy graduates in Oklahoma City on Thursday

The speech was canceled at the last minute, but the DOJ hasn't said whether planned protests had anything to do with the decision

A state legislator there had planned to publicly call for Holder's impeachment at the ceremony

A DOJ official says Holder doesn't fear protesters, but is conscious of his image as the nation's top law enforcer during his last months in office

Nice try, "DOJ official" but it is obvious that Eric "The Red" Holder is a coward who cut and ran.
We are a nation with a cowardly Attorney General.
If Holder actually cared a whit about his "image" he wouldn't cultivate being dishonest, ignorant, and a mental light weight commie racist.
Alternatively talking like a street punk, buddy, and then a whiny big baby, Holder is a disgrace and embarrassment.

Holder in Oklahoma, Moochelle in Kansas, Reid’s BLM in Texas. These folks need to stay out of our part of the world.

There is another story running around FR about an expected tornado outbreak in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Coincidence?

Read the post about the tornado outbreak but just a little slow on the draw. Good connection you made.

He fears God and faulty parachutes. Other than that, nothing. :)

How can there be a PR disaster when the press kisses dem butt?

Obama and Holder could be using three year olds for target practice and the New York Times wouldn’t notice. Useless drama.
