Senator: ‘I Have Not Been Impressed with [Holder’s] Intelligence’

Published June 13, 2012 6:10pm ET



Texas senator John Cornyn called into question the intelligence of Attorney General Eric Holder earlier today in a radio interview. “Do you think Holder is smart?,” radio host Laura Ingraham asked Cornyn. “I have not been impressed with his intelligence,” Cornyn responded.

The radio spot followed-up on Cornyn telling Holder in a Senate hearing yesterday that the attorney general should resign. “You’ve violated the public trust in my view by failing to perform the duties of your office. So, Mr. Attorney General it is with more sorrow than with regret and anger that I would say you leave me with no alternative but to join those who call on you to resign your office,” Cornyn directly told Holder yesterday.
