Holder encourages Democrats to protest in the streets, get arrested for voting rights
Fox ^ | 13 Aug 2021 | Andrew Mark Miller

'Power cedes nothing without a demand,' Holder said

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder encouraged Democrats to protest in favor of voting rights by taking to the streets and getting arrested.

"Power cedes nothing without a demand," Holder told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Thursday night. "We too often underestimate the power that we have as regular American citizens by marching, by protesting, by raising our voices...

...The former attorney general compared the current Democratic push to fight laws aimed at strengthening election integrity to the fight against "American apartheid" in the 1950s.

"If you asked people in the 1950s, ‘do you think marching, demonstrating is going to bring down a system of American apartheid?’ You probably would have said, ‘that’s just not gonna happen.’ And we should not lose faith right now. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets..."

Yet MAGA protests in Jan are considered as terrorist. When will the legal community come forward and challenge this two tiered justice system?

Gee, who does he think he is, a Donald Trump according to their definition of his talking about “peaceful” protests?

Holder was the worst AG in modern American history but Garland The Coward is going to try and top his treason.

Never seen a group of people who are so predictable in their projections.

This was Loretta Lynch calling for the same 4 years ago

‘We marched, we bled. We can do this again’

When the Mexican gangs were cleansing LA of blacks,they left Asians and whites alone..They understood those were the 2 groups that made money for taxes..The blacks were just competition for the tax money.....

Holder abuses both free speech and his right to it, but because he's a lawyer, you're supposed to assume that his command of the subject is beyond reproach; and because he is black AND on that subject, whatever he's quoted as having said appears to carry connotations of having significant impact but it's only for appearances sake. He is assumed by many to be iconic, a legend in his own time like Obama was (if you will) and another bad assumption to make would be that their images are reasonable facsimiles of the reality(s).

Blacks have the right to vote?
When did that happen?
Maybe when they are in the street “protesting” or looting a big box store they could swing around to the DMV and get a ID?

And there you have it...he knows that our justice system is totally corrupt. If a conservative or populist had said this there would be a SWAT team outside his door to take him off to jail for insurrection TODAY; but our DOJ is corrupt and we have a two tier justice system. The DOJ sees this as a feature and not a vice. They are doing the bidding of the CCP. Pure evil.

Eric seems to be spreading misinformation, false narratives,
conspiracy theories , anti democratic domestic violent extremism.

Shouldn’t he be reported to dhs ?.

Rather than take all the time and effort to protest and risk arrest, just get an ID that allows you to vote. Problem easily solved.

DHS will continue to identify and evaluate calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives, by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information, as necessary.

DHS continues to encourage the public to maintain awareness of the evolving threat environment and report suspicious activity.

How You Can Help

Report suspicious activity and threats of violence, including online threats, to local law enforcement, FBI Field Offices, or local Fusion Center.

If You See Something, Say Something®. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement or call 911.

I think I may have to call 911 about Eric holder’s suspicious activity.
