Former AG Eric Holder campaigns for Michigan Supreme Court candidates Thomas and Bolden
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder keynoted a get out the vote rally Wednesday night in Ypsilanti, telling the crowd this was an “existential presidential election,” with nothing less than “democracy at stake.”
The event, held at the Community Family Life Center, was in support of the Democratic-nominated Michigan Supreme Court (MSC) candidates, Justice Kyra Harris Bolden and University of Michigan law professor Kimberly Ann Thomas, but became a rousing exhortation to “not leave a single vote on the table,” and for Democrats and progressives to do everything in their power to get people to the polls and elect Vice President Kamala Harris.
Holder, who served for six years as President Barack Obama’s AG, began his talk by relating the threat he felt former President Donald Trump posed if given another term in the White House, pointing to last Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally, which has been widely condemned for speakers insulting African Americans and Latinos, especially Puerto Ricans, calling Harris the “antichrist” while also mocking her race
“Google and see what happened in Madison Square Garden,” said Holder. “The filth, the misogyny, the racism, and all the things that happened there that define who that guy is. It’s a clear choice.”
