President Donald Trump called into Fox & Friends this morning and warned Eric Holder after remarks he made about kicking Republicans to a crowd supporting local Georgia Democratic candidates. “He better be careful what he’s wishing for,” Trump told Fox News. “That’s a disgusting statement for him to make.”
Trump’s stern statement came as a response to Eric Holder telling a room full of people that when Republicans go low, they kick em.
Eric Holder’s comments caught on video:
The exact quote:
“It is time for us, as Democrats, to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are,” Holder told the crowd. “Michelle always says — I love her; she and my wife are like, really tight, which always scares me and Barack — but Michelle always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. When they go low, we kick ’em.”

“President Trump, in an interview Thursday with “Fox & Friends,” rebuked Eric Holder for his call to “kick” Republicans and spurn civility, saying the Obama attorney general’s comments were “disgusting” and “dangerous.”
Holder’s comments come around the same time that Hillary Clinton rejected civility among political parties unless the Democrats regained power. It appears that she will only support civility if her side is in charge, but not if Republicans are.
Arrogant Hillary basically just called for a civil war. OK I’m in … let’s just pick a location for the full-on battle and get it over with.Hillary Clinton: "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for…”— MobbyMcMobFace.357 (@SonofLiberty357) October 9, 2018
Is that the America Democrats really want?
