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.

All my life, Eric. When did you give guns to Mexicans so they steal 2,000 of them and kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent?

The modern Democratic party truly hates America. That feels like a lazy talking point, but just listen to what Holder and his colleagues have to say ...

I would expect Eric Holder to say this. Hating and blaming America is his Brand, and has been so since his college days.
DNC Chair Tom Perez is also that way.
“Burn it all down, Man!”.

Cuomo has simply become too pompous and arrogant in his political office. He feels beyond reproach.

“I bet that was some good Scotch!“

It was. Glenfiddich to be precise. I’m saving the last pour for November 7, 2020 or the day Hillary is indicted, whichever comes first.

The answer is simple. The last time America was great was when the democrats actually cared about the success of this country and not the elimination of it through unchecked illegal immigration, unchecked spending, and unchecked nanny state laws that have eroded freedoms and the foundation of the US Constitution.

Of course, I can not remember a time in my lifetime when these things were not happening.

Eric,

January 1, 1863 is the date you are looking for.

That is the day a REPUBLICAN President,through the Emancipation Proclamation issued the previous September, went into effect, declaring all slaves in the South free.

Your party, the Democrats, have tried to keep your people on the plantation ever since.

Maybe Eric Holder would be kind enough to point out a superior African country.

On any level... financial, political, cultural, government institutions, medical research, art, whatever.. ... Any comparison. Any comparison with any African country on anything.

Just curious Eric Holder... Show us how were NOT superior.

America was great before we ignored the Constitution and allowed the Kenyan from Indonesia to usurp the office the Constitution says he may not hold.
