Who Eric Holder Took Photo With at Aretha Franklin’s Funeral Speaks Volumes

Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who is a rumored potential presidential candidate for 2020, was invited to attend the funeral for the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, an honor to be sure.
However, what’s making waves in the news today is who Holder happened to snap a photograph with. A picture is being passed around the Internet featuring Holder with notorious anti-Semite and leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.
Not a good look, Mr. Holder. Not a good look at all
Farrakhan is a notorious racist and anti-Semite who has praised Hitler as a “very great man,” claimed that interracial marriage “mongrelized” the black race and repeatedly espoused conspiracy theories about “satanic” Jews.
The Nation of Islam published a photo on Twitter that shows Holder standing next to Farrakhan at Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday.
The legendary singer’s funeral prominently featured Farrakhan alongside former President Bill Clinton and MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton.
Holder now leads the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) and is reportedly weighing running for president in 2020.
“When asked, Mr. Holder participated in a photo taken with the people on stage at the Aretha Franklin services. It was in no way an endorsement or expression of support for anyone,” NDRC spokesman Patrick Rodenbush told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.
Rodenbush did not answer whether Holder is willing to condemn Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism.
Farrakhan’s ties to the Democratic Party have become a source of controversy after a photo emerged showing then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama standing with Farrakhan in 2008.
The photographer who snapped the photo of Obama and Farrakhan withheld the publication of the picture until Obama left office as a means of ensuring that it would not damage his political career.
Not long after the picture was published, it became known that other notable Democrats like Reps. Maxine Waters and James Clyburn have both attended events connected with Farrakhan and have refused to denounce him, despite his anti-Semitic beliefs.
For a group of people who claim to be against bigotry and hatred, the left sure doesn’t seem to mind aligning themselves with some pretty despicable, hateful individuals. You’d think that wouldn’t sit right with them, but it doesn’t really seem to bug them much either way.
Guess they aren’t big into authentically living out their belief system.

Secret Service Shamed After Drunk Agents Assault Cab Driver in South Korea
There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations.

You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.
For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.
This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.
Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.
The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.
Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.
There could be more trouble coming, as well.
In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.
One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.
The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.
“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”
There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
