Eric Holder: ‘Racial Animus’ Fuels Opposition to Obama and Me

“'There’s a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that’s directed at me [and] directed at the president,' Mr. Holder told ABC News. 'You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There’s a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some, there’s a racial animus.'” He throws out the accussation, then qualifies it, knowing that the initial accussation is what will stick with a lot of people. No, Mr. Holder., the animus is against thugs, regardless of melanin content.
