Former Attorney General and “wingman” of President Barack Obama is calling for citizens to take to the streets. Does he want them to defend their rights that are being violated on a daily basis by the Biden administration? Hardly.
The Democratic Party is pushing for a federal takeover of elections that would essentially guarantee a permanent majority in the country. Holder called for citizens to ‘take to the streets’ to push the radical left agenda in an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
"We shouldn't lose faith right now. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets. Citizens need to be demonstrating. Citizens need to be calling their representatives…" -Eric Holder pic.twitter.com/PTzyMwu5NS

“What do you make of the direct action strategy that is being brought by voting rights advocates?” Maddow asked. “Obviously, Vice President Harris and President Biden are very much in support of the reforms like The For the People Act, and they’ve advocated for it. We know that. We’ve heard all the speeches. We know their position. Yet you’re seeing increasingly relentless focus by moral leaders getting arrested at the Senate office building, at the Supreme Court, at the White House. We’re expecting this summer of direct action on voting rights to accelerate to where there will be considerable civil disobedience outside the White House, people trying to set off a moral alarm here. What do you make of that strategically, as someone who has been a target of that in the past and someone who knows the people being targeted by these activists?”
“Power concedes nothing without demand,” Holder said, forgetting that Democrats hold almost all the power in America. “We too often underestimate the power we have as regular American citizens by marching, by protesting, by raising our voices. That’s a really important part of the thing that I’m leading, The National Democratic Redistricting Committee. We have a big advocacy campaign to get American citizens involved in this fight. If we make our voices known if we demand the kind of change, the fair change we’re seeking, I think it will help in the process.”
“Raising the consciousness of people by demonstrating, by getting arrested, by doing the things that end segregation,” Holder continued. “If you asked people back in the 1950s, do you think marching, demonstrating will bring down a system of American apartheid? You probably would have said, no, that won’t happen.”
“We shouldn’t lose faith right now,” he added. “We shouldn’t lose faith. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets. Citizens need to be demonstrating. Citizens need to be calling representatives to demand the kind of change that will make this country more representative, make our democracy more fair.”
If Holder wanted to make elections ‘fair’ he would be supporting election integrity measures that would guarantee ‘one citizen, one vote.’ Instead, he is pushing ‘reforms’ that would institute the 2020 election nightmare on a permanent basis.
