Washington Eric Holder, a former attorney general for the Obama administration, writes in a new op-ed that he's"deeply concerned" the Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to"weaponize" the 2020 US census.
"Allowing the administration to demand citizenship information from every household as part of the decennial census for the first time in more than half a century would dramatically depress the count in areas with significant Latino and immigrant populations and would reposition political representation toward areas more likely to elect Republicans," Holder wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Thursday.
Like you weaponized the drug cartel with your Fast and Furious
Weaponizer in chief under Obummer is such a hypocrite!
Hey Roberts you were concerned about the SCOTUS being considered a political entity. If this vote supports Trump & this language is added to the census in 2019 after being removed in the 1950s. The SCOTUS will be considered part of the GOP hands down.
So finding out how many criminals (illegal immigrants) are in the USA is weaponization give me a break!!
1. Nobody gives a shit what Eric holder thinks says or does. 2. Dems do not want the nation to how many illegal immigrants are actually in the country. 3. It is CNN.
I did not care for him when he was the AG....
Asking whether someone responding to the U.S. Census is a U.S. citizen isn't weaponizing anything. It's the whole damn point of the census.
If anything doesn’t go the Dems way, they automatically say the Republicans are weaponizing it. The US census should only account for US citizens. Pathetic attempt by the Dems to get more congressional seats.
EricHolder is the most divisive U.S. attorney general in modern history. He will always know for “Fast and Furious” DOMA .. He needlessly injecting politics into law enforcement. He target journalists like James Rosen - Use IRS to target Tea party and GOP conservatives.
The Obama administration weaponized every aspect of the govt. Tick Tock Justice is on its way
Holder is a cancer to this country
...when everyone knows you're only allowed to weaponize the IRS.
Like obama weaponized the IRS to punish conservatives!
After weaponizing 17 Security Agencies you a worried weaponizing the census? Mr. Holder you have no respect for the American ppl.
Holder is fucked..
Why is asking people who are in the country on the census considered weaponizing the count?
This guy will be going to prison soon
You mean like weaponizing the IRS, DOJ, FBI or CIA? Isn’t this ass clown 🤡 under contempt of Congress? Guess that doesn’t mean a damn thing for a dem. realDonaldTrump WadeDukes seanhannity
Like Holder 'weaponized' the DOJ? He should be worried, he taught us all how to do stuff like that.
This criminal shld be ignored. In fact he shld be jailed!!
He should know all about weaponizing the government
Holder gave guns to Mexican drug dealers, in turn they shot Border Guards. CNN has zero credibility.
Weaponizing any area of government was the specialty of Obama and crew so I find that statement absurd on its face. Asking the citizenship question is not something new. And frankly, those who object really do not have a good argument against the question.
He is projecting. They always accuse their enemies of what they plan to do. Rules for Radicals.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪🤪
This dude again? Lmmfao
Jesus. Obama's wingman on what America needs. Y'all had your shot and screwed us up. No thanks.
If anyone knows about 'weaponizing,' it's Holder — the lead 'Fast and Furious' gun smuggler.
Lol ......
Holder, the only AG held in both civil and criminal contempt of Congress? That Holder? Who in the world would ask such a loser for comment? CNN, the fake news network, of course.
What is the meaning of weaponizing?
Should be concerned that he is going to jail. But I am sure he has a pardon already.
Simple question asked,,,not a problem unless your breaking the law
Coming from a lawless AG, responsibility for Fast and Furious

Bath house barry wingman the Arthur of fast and furious operation which gives mexican kartel military grade weapons,which end up killing border patrol officers
Dopey and corrupt
Really? Why do I continue to follow you. Write an article on why it is important to have the question on the census. The only people who will not answer the question is illegals. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?
He was the weaponizer in Chief. What a joke. So sick of preaching dems. You lost get over it asswipes.
But it was okay for his administration to weaponize the FBI, CIA and DOJ? Give me a break....
Counting citizens is not wrong.
Fake news
Let's not sugar coat Trump and his Administration
Holder your a crook.
Sorry Eric, you’ve lost all credibility, go sell more guns to the enemy. We are busy caring about the country.
I'm deeply concerned that CNN thinks anyone gives a shit what Eric Holder thinks.
Since when knowing the of citizens in the country is wrong? Just for those that keep claiming victimization but others like Latinos will show their 's higher than AA.
This guy literally weaponized Mexican drug cartels/smugglers with the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal that saw the feds turn blind eyes to 2,000 or so firearms illegally purchased. Then, he lied to Congress on its investigation. It sure is good to be a Democrat.
As long as he doesn’t weaponize the FBI. Oh wait Barrack already did that.
You listen to this guy?
Oh do you mean Eric, Obama's wing man, the racist!
From a liar....pfft
The question has been on the census long form before.
He should be more worried about the prison sentence he will be getting! MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
To uphold the law of not allowing illegal aliens to vote in our elections? Holder has always been nothing but a political hack.
Get a HOLD of yourself else get a HOLE and hid yourself !!
Well he has way bigger issues to be worried about. painiscoming
Laughable from this affirmative action appointee....fact is he & his staff weaponized the DOJ to take out a duly elected president. If there is any justice in this country this guy will be indicted.
How is asking if you’re an American citizen weaponizing ?
To find out if people are here 'legally' means 'weaponize' to you (Holder) begs the question if your on the side of the 'law'!
Lol, Holder has no credibility
3.2% GDP. SHUT UP Holder.
He should have been more concerned that Hillary never stepped a toe into Wisconsin during 2016. Win the damm election and no more concerns
From the jackhole who is in contemp of congress for refusing to answer questions on fast and furious .. He belongs in prison
Eric Holder is a weasel just like CNN. Holder wasn’t deeply concerned about Fast and Furious where he sent thousands of guns to Mexico that ending up in criminal hands and responsible for the death of a U.S. Border Agent.
Holder’s weaponizing concerns. Nice👍🏾
He’s deeply concerned it might be used the way it’s supposed to. We can’t solve problems if we choose to leave parts of the problem in the dark.
It’s been asked on EVERY U.S. Census since 1790 except for Obama! And history has revealed Obama’s intent for EU takeover. STOP 🛑 the invasion. Keep America LEGAL. Citizenship is REQUIRED and countable. PRIDE 🇺🇸 isn’t scary.
It was deeply concerning when you let the flow of weapons to continue into Mexico that still kill people today. Scum bag
Oh. Ok, wingman
Adding the question will not scare away citizens of the United States The question will proudly be answered by legal immigrants And if people that are here illegally aren’t counted, resulting in less dollars being spent on them, then more dollars will be available for citizens!
DerangedDonald
Eric Holder you were part of the the most corrupt administration ever, the Obama administration you are the king of weaponizing! All you hypocritical Dems better keep your mouth shut instead of shooting them off, your day of reckoning is coming very shortly! MAGA
Better to ‘weaponize’ the census than to run actual weapons to Mexico.
So we should let Central America Answer the Questions. Start mailing them down there 👇.
I don't know why this is an issue. (I really do know why). It seems to me US taxpayer money should go to benefit US citizens.
says the gun runner...
Oh please! There is nothing wrong with citizenship question
Just like you weaponized the Mexican drug cartels?
If you're illegal u don't count
EVERYTHING Trump has done is to corruptly obstruct justice. From appointments of corrupt individuals to the Supreme Court to corrupt Secretaries to flat out defying subpoenas - and he's doing it in plain sight every day. When do the Impeachment Hearings start!
Don't answer the question!
The Supreme Court is one place that should always stay neutral but trump's 2 puppets are ignoring this fact.
I hope your news channel goes down with all the corrupt Democrats!
Sounds like Dems are the ones trying to “weaponize” the Census. Illegals SHOULDN’T get representation!!
Again Mr. Irreverent, your done stop writing especially when all the dirt you did in office comes out.
The fear mongering left strikes again
In 255-67 vote, House places Holder in contempt of Congress FactsFirst
You mean by not counting illegals? This is just a scam to increase Democrat districts in the house. A total fraud!
Barry’s wingman!
That’s hysterical since Dems want to flood the country with illegals and now want felons to vote. All to get them elected. WalkAwayFromDemocrats
Maybe fast and furious should not opine on things anymore.
You mean the “Contempt of Congress“ attorney general?
scare politics will not work for them crooked dimwits...🤣🤣
EricHolder is just another empty barrel left over from the Obummer administration.
Where was his concern when Obama weaponized the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the DOJ to spy on Trump?
Correction, a disgrace of an attorney general!
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
Words are violence. Questions are violence. Looks are violence. Blah blah blah
If you can find any Obama-administration officials that actually SUPPORT the citizenship question, that will be something newsworthy.
His opinion is not needed, wanted nor valued, he was Obama’s wing man on the spying of Americans in a political election
His loyalty is unquestionable.
It's Eric Holder again folks..
Obama: I don’t have a magic wand to bring jobs back Trump: I do
NO ONE CARES
Your going to jail, boy!!! 🤡🤡👿👿☠️☠️
What if Trump does weaponize it and sells the weapon to a Mexican cartel, which then uses it to kill a US Border Patrol Agent? Scary stuff.
