Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder slammed Donald Trump for calling on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s email and release it contents, saying that those remarks disqualifies him from being president.
In an Wednesday interview with MSNBC, Holder put Trump on blast, calling it “incomprehensible” not just that a presidential nominee would encourage a foreign nation to launch a cyber attack on a U.S. citizen, but that no American would say that.
“It is incomprehensible to me that an American would tell Russia to hack a private citizen’s accounts,” he said. “And what is hard to believe, this is the nominee for the Republican Party. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around. I don’t say this lightly. I think this disqualifies him to be commander-in-chief.”
When asked if he “walks around with a knot” in his stomach thinking about a Trump presidency, Holder said that prospect does make him nervous.
“The way he has tried to build a winning margin by dividing the American people and what that would mean, the middle of January 2017 going forward, I think he has done damage to the nation already,” Holder said. “So yeah. He makes me nervous to be he might be the next leader of this great country.”
This is not the first time someone’s argued Trump’s actions disqualified him from the presidency. The White House said that his call for a ban on Muslims met that standard, while former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns hit the bar.
Lock him up! Lock him up!
Donnie for Prison!
Some people will vote for him if video emerges of Putin reaming him in his ass.
Donald Trump would sell America, and all of us down the river if it would line his pockets, spread his brand, and extend his shameless legacy. This is but one more example of how low the Drumpf will go to get what he wants, and the rest of the world be damned!
His base is base.
I base that on personal observations.
Was there ever anything other than US-born and over 35 that qualified him?
