Former Attorney General Nat Turner Eric Holder is not your negro.
Suggested Reading
During a recent campaign event for Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abramsโwho is currently on a quest to become the first black woman governor in American historyโHolder told those in attendance when Republicans โgo lowโ Democrats should โkick them.โ
According to Holder, the suspected true Obama anger translator during his time in office, itโs time for Dems to be as โtoughโ and โdedicatedโ and committed as Republicans are, the Hill reports.
โMichelle [Obama] always says that, you know, โWhen they go low, we go high.โ No. When they go low, we kick them. Thatโs what this new Democratic Party is about,โ he said.
Holder, whose name has been floated as a possible presidential candidate in 2020 also added that Republicans use their power to manipulate the system.
โTheyโve tried to racial gerrymander, theyโve tried to partisan gerrymander. ... They want to keep themselves in power. They want to cater to the special interests,โ Holder said.
โWeโre in this to win,โ he added. โAnd the reality is if we donโt win, people who are less committed, less idealistic, less imbued with the values that make this nation really great, will run this country.โ
The Hill notes that Holderโs comments come only a day after Hillary Clinton noted that the idea of civility with the Russians Republicans is a thing of the past.
Clinton said, โYou cannot be civil withโ Republican Party because it โwants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,โ in an interview with CNN.
โIf we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, thatโs when civility can start again,โ she added. โBut until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.โ
And Holder is not here for the fuckshit.
