Eric Holder to 2020 Democrats: 'Be wary of attacking the Obama record'

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/455734-eric-holder-to-2020-democrats-be-wary-of-attacking-the-obama-record

Former Attorney General Eric Holder cautioned the 2020 Democratic primary field from attacking the record of the Obama administration on Wednesday following a raucous debate where former Vice President Joe Biden was questioned on his record by several candidates.

In a tweet sent shortly after the debate ended, Holder addressed his "fellow Democrats:" "Be wary of attacking the Obama record. Build on it. Expand it. But there is little to be gained - for you or the party - by attacking a very successful and still popular Democratic President."

like Eric Holder stand up for President Obama.

Those who attack Obama only look foolish.. this could even come back to haunt them if they ever made it to the GE.

Thank You for this, highplainsdem!

it really puts you in the same boat as Trump - reject, nullify, and cancel anything that PRESIDENT OBAMA did - and he did it with a congress that was partially or completely working to eliminate him from day 1.

Talk about stupid...................
