The Patriot Post® · Holder Blasts 'Divisive Adversity'

A visibly angered Eric Holder spoke before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference and blasted the “unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity” he’s had to deal with as attorney general. “What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?” he asked, referring to Wednesday’s heated House hearing. “What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?” Well, writes National Review’s Andrew Johnson, “Bush-era attorney general Alberto Gonzales faced calls for his impeachment during his time in the office.” Likewise, Reagan’s AG Edwin Meese faced heavy contempt from Democrats. More to the point, Holder and Obama are two of the most divisive political figures in American history with their complete disregard for Rule of Law. That’s hardly “unwarranted” adversity, and both should be thankful they haven’t been impeached. Holder’s insinuation that the treatment is race-based is absurd and outrageous.
