Eric Holder: Jeff Sessions has been ‘racially insensitive,’ ‘racially unaware’ — "I don't like to use that term [racist] unless you've got really hard and fast proof, but I think he's done some things in his career and as attorney general that I think have been racially insensitive, and there are times when I think he's racially unaware," Holder said.
