Holder Responds To Journalist
Ladies and gentlemen, things got heated at the Democratic National Convention this week when conservative commentator Jack Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events, tracked down former Attorney General Eric Holder for an impromptu confrontation. The topic? The vetting process for Kamala Harris’ potential running mates, specifically Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Let’s break it down. Holder was responsible for vetting candidates to potentially join Harris on the Democratic ticket, and Posobiec was keen to question him about Walz’s background. The reason? Walz has come under fire for allegedly committing “stolen valor,” a term used to describe someone falsely claiming military achievements or experiences.

According to reports, Walz was accused of exaggerating his military service by claiming a rank he never held and implying he was deployed in a combat zone, when in fact, he never set foot in Afghanistan and retired before his National Guard unit was deployed to Iraq.
When Posobiec confronted Holder about this, things got intense. Holder, clearly not in the mood for questions on the subject, responded with a blunt and heated “F**k you,” before his entourage moved to keep Posobiec at bay. According to Posobiec, he was not being physical, but one of Holder’s aides or bodyguards shoved him, claiming he was getting too close and vocal.

The situation escalated further when security personnel intervened. Posobiec was initially stopped near Media Row, with a security guard telling him he couldn’t speak with Holder, despite
Posobiec being a credentialed member of the press. After a brief standoff, Posobiec managed to explain his side of the story to another security official, who eventually allowed him to pass. However, by that time, Holder had already left the scene.
This incident isn’t the only controversy surrounding Tim Walz this week. Reports have surfaced exposing another major lie connected to Walz, adding fuel to the fire and raising more questions about how thoroughly he was vetted as a potential running mate.
