Eric Holder blasts ‘orange man’ Trump: ‘We want the America of Barack Obama’
Washington Times ^ | 11/8/2017

Posted on 11/08/2017 2:52:13 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder says he is glad to be unshackled from his old job because employment with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee lets him lash out at Republicans like “orange man” President Trump.

Politico recently went on the road with the NDRC’s chairman in Virginia for get-out-the-vote efforts on behalf of Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the Democratic nominee for Virginia governor.

An interview at Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church in Richmond covered everything from NDRC’s efforts to raise over $30 million for gubernatorial races to Mr. Trump’s alleged role in empowering “neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”

“You don’t do politics when you’re attorney general, but as a private citizen and as a defender of the Obama legacy, I’m free to say what I want and to say it in the way that I’d like to,” Mr. Holder told the website for an “Off Message” podcast titled “Eric Holder Is Tired of Being Polite.”

“I probably would not have [attacked Republicans like] that while I was attorney general,” he continued. “I didn’t have an orange man who I was serving under, but, I mean, I would not have said that about a former president, for instance, while I was attorney general. But now, I’m just a citizen and I’ve got the full range of my voice back.”

The former attorney general also told Rising Mount Zion congregants that Mr. Northam’s battle with Republican Ed Gillespie was important because “debts have to be repaid.”

“We need to send Donald Trump a message,” Mr. Holder said, Politico reported. “You’re telling Donald Trump that’s not the America I want. We want the America of Barack Obama.”

Sounds a bit racist from Holder, calling him “orange man” and all.

You’re not a part of my “WE”, and I’m not a part of yours. It looks like your “WE” lost. Deal with it.

What the US really needs is an amiable divorce.
The folks who want the America of Obama get one contiguous geographical area.
The folks who want the Republic of the United States of America get an entirely different one.
Problem is, the dividing line between the two is not geographical, but rural/suburban vs. urban.

Holder wants the America of no Constitution.

Barry Soetoro was never eligible to be President of the USA under our Constitution.

If you have African ancestors, even if none of them were slaves in the US (Obama, Holder), you are free to mock other people for their looks...Obama made fun of Boehner’s skin color.

And they call Trump a racist, when he’s not the one going around pointing out people’s skin color in disparaging ways.

Yes, no doubt YOU and Marxist scum like you want us to become the USSA we became under Commisar Obozzo.

Thankfully the American people unequivocally rejected your evil, Marxist creed last year.
