Eric Holder goes on MAGA attack: 'Exactly when did you think America was great?'
Fox News ^ | March 28, 2019 | Greg Norman

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.

I would love to see this anti-American in handcuffs being frog-marched like he so richly deserves.

Hmmm...
Before I had to press ‘2’ for English?
Before I could tell a women she looked pretty without becoming a pariah in my workplace?
Before the FBI and CIA were simply extensions of the Democratic election machine?
Before the news became unabashed democratic propagandists?
Before massive regulations stifled businesses from profiting and hiring?
Before we allowed China to shit on our heads year over year?

Well Eric Holder, I'll tell you when America wasn't great --
when you and Obama and Hillary and Comey were in office.
How's that?

Certainly not when this bigoted pigman was running guns to narcoterrorists in Mexico.

Uhhh, Eric, maybe after the world was freed from imminent occupation by Hitler and the Japanese by American blood spilled around the globe, but to discount this as Holder does says everything you need to know about slicksters like him.

He was nothing more than a political opportunist who was willing to do evil peoples bidding.. and he remains so to this very day. Scum.

When America:

- assured the rights of religion and speach
- ended slavery
- first saved the world from German domination
- created a powerful economy
- saved the world again
- shielded the world from nuclear annihilation
- put a man on the moon and explored the solar system
- created the atomic bomb
- turned the atomic bomb into a means of peaceful energy production
- created the digital economy

... shall I go on?

I would say that life was great in America many times. In my life it was growing up in Chicago in the 50s, before Kennedy was killed.

but I would think America was great after we won the Revolutionary war, and after the Civil war and after WW! and WWII, don’t know.

I only know that one has to spend a few hours watching liberal media to know how bad it COULD be now. We’re one click away from it being worse.

America certainly wasn’t great when Eric and Obama were handing out guns (FAST AND FURIOUS)to Mexican drug dealers and attempting to make it appear that Americans were supplying the guns that fueled the Mexican drug cartels. Their ultimate goal was to inflict more gun control on innocent citizens. They got caught but a corrupt federal justice department covered for them. The same DOJ that tried to overthrow President Trump.

Nobody wants to ‘play your game’, Holder you scum. Apologies to scums everywhere. This is (at least) the second time you tried this ‘when is America ever great’ schtick.

Tell us why you think America stinks, even though I personally don’t care what you think/say. Then get the h3ll out of here (maybe you like Cuba or Venezuela), NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE.

It was great when they were handing out millions and billions of taxpayer money to all their buds.

Not to mention weapons to Mexican drug gangs and Muslim terrorists.

“Eric Holder is a racist ...... to the bone. If he were not black, he would be nothing.”

That’s a fact. And it also applies to his butt-buddy Barack Obama. Every objective person knows that had Obama been white, with his flinty resume he would not have lasted past the first Dem primary in 2008.

Ask all the illegal immigrants breaking into the USA and all the legal immigrants who have come here over many years. They are coming for some reason. I would assume they were coming because the USA is and has been great.
