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.

“Not from 2008 - 2016.”

Jan 20, 2017 started the new Renaissance. Hopefully it will go on for many generations.

Where else can an Attorney General ignore a contempt of Congress charge and get away with it?

And where else can an ROTC radical who took part in holding Columbia University hostage rise to Attorney General? Who needs background checks.

What’s this bitter black militant whining about now. Doesn’t he have some ROTC office to storm while armed?

Never mind that America is a great Republic falsely called a democracy. To address his question and presumption... when illegals and other lawless types vote over and over again, destoying the votes of actual citizens regardless of their chromosomes or race, what kind of democracy is that?

It's the kind of democracy that Holder and Obama and Co. see slipping away.

Excellent.

MAGA!

Maybe Eric Holder should ask the multitudes of illegals swarming over the borders for a shot at a good job, good medicine, good education, and good sanitation.

Ask him if he can name a greater country or better system of government.

If he can, he should be offered a one-way ticket there or perhaps to his favorite socialist or African paradise.

So, is Holder essentially saying that America was never great?

Can he point to any country that is/was great/greater?

BTW: I nominate July 21, 1969.

Tell him the “M” in MAGA is actually an upside down “W” for “white”.

The exact same way someone like John Brennan can rise to the Directorship of the CIA.

Or Bill Clinton can rise to the Presidency.

Or Hillary Clinton can even be a candidate or hold office.

That way.

Hillary called voters not voting for her “Deplorables”.

Cuomo says America “was never great”.

Holder says “explain to me how America was ever great”.

AOC says America should have open borders, no planes, no cows, no cars and rebuild all buildings. !

Ilhan Omar can’t help herself from screaming her hatred of Jews daily.

Lol, you guys keep it up! Pretty soon Trump won’t even need to campaign!

As far as HE’S concerned, America MUST be great if an incompetent and corrupt loser like him gets to break the law and make the kind of money HE does-with no questions asked!

America's founding principles
America, the first country in the world to escape the Malthusian trap in 1820, thanks to capitalism
America ending slavery
America ending nazism
America winning the cold war
America opposing mohammedumism
America opposing socialism

I think Jamaica may have come close. While visiting Jamaica I read it in their newspaper. Away back in the 70s, their legislature was considering a bill that would require any man convicted of rape to be castrated. At the time, I thought that might be a good idea. I never heard how that turned out.
