Former Attorney General Eric Holder did not have kind words for Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), who infamously shouted “you lie!” during President Obama’s 2009 State of the Union address, in an interview published Wednesday.
“Somebody should have smacked his a–,” Holder said, reported by undefeated.com. “They should have . . . told him to sit the f— down.”
Wilson made his outburst after Obama said that undocumented immigrants wouldn’t be covered under his healthcare law. Wilson was promptly booed by other members of Congress.
Wilson later apologized for his comment and said he let his emotions “get the best” of him.
The piece published on undefeated.com questioned whether racism was to blame for some of the opposition to Obama.
“There is a unique feeling of fear — hatred is too strong a word — but a feeling of anger, dissatisfaction with this president,” Holder said for the article.
It’s not too late.
That dickhead is my congressman, so I call first dibs.
No, Eric, THEY are the ones courting violence, not us.
Oh, who am I kidding? Where’s my babypowder…
"Somebody should have smacked his a–,” Holder said, reported by undefeated.com. “They should have . . . told him to sit the f— down.”
Oh, wow, I see President Obama isn’t the only one who’s fresh out fucks to give. Tell us some more, Mr. Holder. What should they do to Trump?
It was a speech to a joint session of Congress, but not a State of the Union address.
