'Failed us!' Holder HAMMERS Trump, Congress, SCOTUS, Tech Bros, but sees MAGA "destruction" ahead - The Best People



Eric Holder joins Nicolle Wallace on "The Best People" and Obama’s Attorney General doesn’t mince words about much. Holder’s unique perspective as the nation’s former chief law enforcement officer allows him to diagnose an untethered executive branch intent on weaponizing institutions, while also owning where Democrats fall short.

In this episode he talks about ordinary citizens engaging in extraordinary acts of protest in Minneapolis and the colossal stakes of the upcoming midterm elections. And while he notes, “our institutions have failed us,” he underscores that “the American people have not.”

Plus: a warning to those who bend to Trumps demands: “memories are long and people are going to remember where you stood” in this moment.

I wonder why republicans and the privileged class feel so impervious to consequences? Any thoughts, Eric?
