Republican House Speaker John Boehner responds to a question about whether race plays into challenging the Obama administration on different issues.
The question was in response to remarks made Wednesday by Attorney General Eric Holder in a speech to supporters of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
During the speech, Holder had gone of script and stated:
“The last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms even in the face, even in the face of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity. If you don’t believe that, you look at the way – forget about me, forget about me – you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee. It ‘has nothing to do with me, forget that. What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”
