Holder: ‘It Was a Damn Lie’ Obama Didn’t Call Gold Star Families

‘President Obama, you know, spent a great deal of time dealing with those issues, interacting with people who had suffered those kinds of losses’

EXCERPT:

HOLDER: “And to imply that President Obama was not appropriately sensitive, not appropriately involved was something that I was simply not going to allow to go unaddressed. That was not going to — that made me mad in a way that few other things have, and that’s why I was as direct in that tweet as I was. And I would tell him, you know, I would tell the President the same thing and in the same language that I used in that tweet.”
TAPPER: “'Stop the damn lying?'”
HOLDER: “'Stop the damn lying,' because it was a damn lie.”
