America has never been "Great" and those who embrace the Trump campaign slogan "Make America Great Again," or MAGA, are racists, sexists, and homophobes, disgraced former Attorney General Eric Holder told his ideological comrades at MSNBC in an interview this week.
"That's when I hear these things about let's 'Make America Great Again,' and I think to myself, exactly when did you think America was great? It certainly wasn't when people were enslaved. It certainly wasn't when women didn't have the right to vote. It certainly wasn't when the LGBT community was denied the rights to which it was entitled."
"America's done superb things, has done great things and it has been a leader in a whole range of things. But we're always a work in process and looking back 'Make America Great Again' is inconsistent with who we are as Americans at our best where we look at the uncertain future, embrace it, and make it our own."
Holder's statement indicates he really believes that if America is great at all, it only got that way because of the work he did as America's attorney general in the Obama era.
Regardless of where you may stand on the issue of same-sex marriage, to claim America wasn't a great country before it embraced same-sex marriage, is the height of pigheadedness and anti-American, know-nothing presentism.
Holder's successor at the Department of Justice, Loretta Lynch, specifically gave Holder credit for the legal victory the day Obergefell was decided.
"We're not going to make America great again. It was never that great," Cuomo said last summer.
