House Dems Refuse To Tell Holder To Step Down

Eric Holder, the embattled Attorney General at the heart of several Obama administration scandals, has been skating on thin ice with many in Washington for some time now.

That’s why many House Republicans have already called on Attorney General Holder to step down.

Yet several House Democrats seem to disagree and are doing their best to hide from the press.

A story in The Hill this morning details how several liberal lawmakers ducked and dodged from the press—basically doing everything aside from yelling, “Hey! Look over there!”

 

“Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.), approached outside his office in the Rayburn Building, said he instead had to finish a House Armed Services Committee markup of a bill, go to votes ‘and return a constituent phone call.’

‘Let me just wait on a comment for right now because I need to take care of some stuff, OK? I’ve got my mind on something else right now,’ he said.

…

“Democratic Reps. Bill Owens (N.Y.), John Barrow (Ga.) and Tim Walz (Minn.), who — along with McIntyre and Matheson — voted to place Holder in contempt of Congress last year, declined to comment or did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this article over the last two weeks.”

 

It’s unclear what these Democrats are so afraid of. Holder has been at the center of numerous controversies, namely the Fast and Furious program and secretly obtaining journalists’ phone records.

We always knew that these folks took their orders from Nancy Pelosi and President Obama, but when a Cabinet official has breached the trust of the citizens he’s served like Holder has, it shouldn’t be that hard.

In the meantime, you can voice your opinion here. Tell Eric Holder he’s got to go.
