    Eric Holder complains about treatment from GOP, plays race card…

    Posted on Apr 9, 2014

    Eric Holder complains about treatment from House Republicans, plays race card…

    Holder then infers he and President Obama are encountering a different type of “treatment” from House Republicans due to their race.


    Eric Holder played the race card today at Al ‘Snitch We Much’ Sharpton’s National Action Network, claiming no president or attorney general has ever had to suffer the treatment that he and Obama are suffering at the hands of the House Republicans:

    FREE BEACON – Attorney General Eric Holder played the infamous race card while speaking before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network on Wednesday.

    Holder told the audience that he’s proud of the significant strides and lasting reforms his department has achieved “even in the face of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity”

    Holder then infers he and President Obama are encountering a different type of “treatment” from House Republicans due to their race.

    “You look at the way the Attorney General of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee. It had nothing to do with me. Forget about that. What Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?” Holder asked.

    What a pathetic excuse for an Attorney General. He hides his crimes behind the cloak of secrecy, refusing to comply with House subpoenas because it would reveal his treachery, and then had the audacity to play the race card when he is confronted over it.

    This from a man that has obtained the highest law enforcement post in this country? He would imply racial discrimination but he has risen pretty far to be whining. It appears to me that the race card is the fallback position when he is confronted with incompetence and furthering a political agenda that is not consistent with the laws that he was hired to enforce.

    Holder on Gohmert exchange: ‘What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?’

    Eric Holder ventured off script in a speech Wednesday to the National Action Network, the organization led by MSNBC host and recently-exposed FBI informant Al Sharpton.

    “I’m pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms,” said Holder at the conference of black activists, before improvising “even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity.”

    “If you don’t believe that, if you look at the way, forget about me, forget about me, if you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee, it had nothing to do with me, forget that, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

    Holder’s remarks — not contained in the text of the speech published at the website for the Department of Justice — were in reference to a terse exchange he had Tuesday with Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert in a House Judiciary Committee hearing about documents related to a terror trial.

    “I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight,” Gohmert said. He was referring to the House of Representatives holding Holder in contempt of Congress in 2012 for refusing to release documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal.

    “You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay,” said an angry Holder.

    “I don’t want to go there?” Gohmert responded.

    “You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me,” Holder said.
    Holder was speaking to the annual convention as he has done since 2011. Sharpton’s conference deals with a host of issues related to civil rights, including justice system reform and gun control.

    Boehner Blasts Holder: There Is No Issue of Race

    'They have not been forthcoming; they owe the American people the truth'



    BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
    April 10, 2014 12:11 pm

    Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio) forcefully responded to Attorney General Eric Holder’s contention yesterday that he and President Obama are receiving rough treatment because of their race.

    “There is no issue of race here,” he said.

    Boehner, speaking Thursday in a press conference, said Holder’s citation for contempt was because his department has not been “forthcoming” and prevented House investigators from having access to certain documents.

    Moreover, the House Speaker said Holder and the DOJ refuse to hold the Obama administration accountable for lying to the American people:

    CHAD PERGRAM: In a speech yesterday the Attorney General suggested that he was treated, and perhaps this president and others in the administration were treated a certain way because of race. Even if that’s not intentional by members of Congress, is that a problem for members of your party when they go after members of the administration?

    JOHN BOEHNER: There is no issue of race here. The frustration is that the American people have not been told the truth about what happened at the IRS. The American people have not been told the truth about what happened in Fast and Furious. The administration has not told the American people about Benghazi. We have been going through all of these hearings, having to hold people in contempt because they have made it impossible to get to the documents. They have not been forthcoming; they owe the American people the truth.

    When it comes to Benghazi we’ve got four Americans who are dead. Their families deserve the truth about what happened and the administration refuses to tell them the truth.
