Former Obama administration attorney general Eric Holder said Wednesday that if he ran for president, he would do so from concluding he could unify the country.
That statement came during an exclusive interview with New York Times reporter Alex Burns. Burns noted that Holder has become much more ambiguous about whether he could run for president in 2020 and asked about his general thoughts.
“If you were gonna do it, why would you do it. If you didn’t do it, why would you not do it?” Burns asked.
“If I were gonna do it, I’d do it because I think I would have concluded that maybe I could unify the country,” Holder said.
He then clarified, “help unify the country, because it’s bigger than any one person.”
“That I could advance—actually, that I could repair then advance the nation in a variety of contexts. That I thought I had something to contribute, that would be the thing that would push me toward considering a run,” Holder said.

Blog Author's Comments: Eric Holder is obviously deeply committed to unifying the country (heavy sarcasm). And according to Benjamin Weingarten: "Doesn’t get any richer than Eric Holder — Mr. “I Won’t Prosecute Black Panthers with Billy Clubs Standing in Front of a Voting Center" — talking about a basic census question on citizenship “intimidating” people."
The Hill reports: Holder is currently preparing to fight Trump’s decision to include a citizenship question on the census.
A Democratic group headed by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will go to court over a decision by the Commerce Department to include a question about citizenship on the 2020 census.
Holder said Tuesday that the group, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, would fight the Trump administration’s decision, arguing that including a citizenship question would drastically lower the response rate on the 2020 census and lead to an inaccurate count.
“We will litigate to stop the Administration from moving forward with this irresponsible decision,” Holder said. “The addition of a citizenship question to the census questionnaire is a direct attack on our representative democracy.”
Holder, being part of the Obama regime which divided this country to a point where it is as bad as the lead up to the Civil War, set race relations to an all time low. He was one of the worst in politicizing the DOJ and helped create the weaponizing of the various agencies. Yes, he would be a unification type candidate, unifying the insane and out of control leftists. He is almost as narcissistic as his man-child President and so scandal free, at least as far as the media propaganda machine is concerned.
Holder was the first Attorney General to be held in contempt of Congress. Why wasn't this corrupt, contemptable, racist, gun running marxist held accountable for his actions while working for the government? The citizenship question is another win for the right because it is calling attention to the left wanting non-citizens voting. The Trump administration's decision to add a question about U.S. citizenship to the 2020 census form, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters: “It's something that has been included in every census since 1965, with the exception of 2010, when it was removed.” Because the Obama administration removed it.
