WATCH: Eric Holder Furiously MELTS DOWN As Reporter Heckles Him At DNC: ‘F*** You!’
Former Obama shill and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was caught on candid camera reacting in anger to a question about whether he properly “vetted” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz while leading the Harris campaign’s search for a running mate.
Challenged by conservative provocateur Jack Posobiec on whether he signed off on Walz despite serious allegations about “stolen valor” concerning his military service, Holder didn’t even pretend to be cordial before popping off. “F*** you!” Holder shouted while walking away. “You know you’re a fool, okay?” Posobiec, who obtained press credentials to attend the Democratic National Convention this week, was flanked by security guards who attempted to motion him out of range to ask Holder any further questions, according to video obtained by the Gateway Pundit.

“Why did he lie about stolen valor? Why did he lie about deploying to Iraq?” Posobiec shouted back while security guards stayed back to keep him from proceeding down the hallway. “You didn’t vet him Eric Holder! Why didn’t you vet him about IVF? He lied about his rank. Eric Holder couldn’t do his job!” The journalist continues to chase Holder down a hallway as the former AG heads for the convention’s media row but is ultimately blocked from entering by a tight-lipped female security guard who denies him access. “I’m press, and this is media row!” Posobiec exclaims. Eventually, a senior convention authority checks his press pass and lets him in.

As Vice President Kamala Harris’s point man on the search for a running mate, Holder ostensibly would have been the final decider on whether claims about Gov. Walz falsifying his military service were non-starters for joining the ticket. Immediately after the pick was announced, two retired military officers who served with Walz published an open letter accusing the midwestern Democrat of unethically inflating his military title while running for Congress. Critics have raised other concerns about his inability to tell the truth on even trivial matters like whether he actually eats “white guy tacos” or enjoys cooking spicy foods. Earlier this week his wife, Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz, issued a clarification that she did not receive IVF while undergoing fertility treatments. Gov. Walz has often wielded his family’s struggles to conceive as a cudgel against Trump and Republicans in the wake of an Alabama court’s ruling temporarily outlawing the procedure.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) will face off against Gov. Walz on October 7th as the two vice presidential nominees debate their divergent visions for the world’s second most powerful position. Vance, a Navy veteran, has cited “stolen valor” claims against his opponent in press conferences in an attempt to drag the Democratic ticket down with further questions about Walz’s fitness for office. The governor shrugged off the criticism, saying, “To anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent, I just have a few simple words: thank you for your service and sacrifice.” His spokesperson has walked back several other claims made by Walz about his military service, including that he carried assault-style rifles and other “weapons of war” while in combat theater and suffered from “guilt” after surviving Iraq despite never being deployed overseas; the spox said Walz “was referring to his congressional delegation trip in 2008.”
