Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday on MSNBC's “The Readout” that “American democracy could end” with the election of former President Donald Trump.
“I think that a second term for Trump, and I think voters have to keep in mind, that a second term for Trump is going to politicize and weaponize the U.S. Department of Justice,” Holder said. Probably.''
He continued: “You have to look at what they're talking about. It's the Trump campaign, the former president himself, and think about the America they're trying to create. We have a president who is above the law. , there will also be a Justice Department going after political opponents for no basis. He's going to indict Joe Biden. Now, for what exactly? It won't bother them. You. There is a United States of America we don't recognize. It's not the United States we've come to know and love, and we'll see more of in Putin's Russia. And this is exactly what this is about. This question is about whether our democracy will survive. Whether our democracy will survive. They have one man's interests and their views that support that one man. is prioritized above all else.”
Holder further added, “You know, they're comfortable or comfortable with the idea of dictatorship or dictatorship, not democracy. They say they're exaggerating. They're not exaggerating. You have to take them at their word. And look at what they're proposing and the impact of the policies they're trying to put in place. . American democracy could end with the election of Donald Trump.”
