Former Attorney General Eric Holder said at a recent campaign event that when Republicans "go low," Democrats should "kick them" in response, video that surfaced Wednesday shows.
Holder, while campaigning for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D), said that it's time for Democrats to be as "tough," "dedicated" and "committed" as Republicans are.
"Michelle (Obama) always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. When they go low, we kick them. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about," he said.
Holder, who has said he is interested in a possible 2020 White House bid, also said that Republicans have used their power "for all the wrong things."
“They’ve tried to racial gerrymander, they’ve tried to partisan gerrymander. ... They want to keep themselves in power. They want to cater to the special interests,” Holder said.
"We’re in this to win," he added. "And the reality is if we don’t win, people who are less committed, less idealistic, less imbued with the values that make this nation really great will run this country.”
Representatives for Holder did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
Holder's comments surfaced one day after Hillary Clinton dismissed the idea of civility between Democrats and Republicans, saying that "you cannot be civil with" the Republican Party because it "wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about."
"If we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength," Clinton said in an interview with CNN.
I doubt it hurts Holder. He actually means it as does Hilliary. They are openly calling for MORE violence—and they absolutely mean it. They have nothing to lose.
No matter how low the Republicans might go, they will never get as low as the Democrats. In fact, the Democrats don’t have to go low, they live in low, i.e., the sewer.
Trent Lott, the absolute WORST EVER!!!!
If a liberal kicks you shoot them in self defense. Just make sure the first shot is good. We don’t want them to suffer lain.
Desperation leads to desperate measures.
Everytime a comment comes out such as
this, just that many more independents
jump to the right side of the fence.
I really believe the lunatic left wants
an actual civil war.
Holder is probably surrounded by armed body guards. He’s a coward.
Don’t care how this a-hole gets his karma, just hope it’s soon and relentless....
