John Ashcroft, the former Attorney General under George W. Bush, accused Obama of appeasing some ethnic groups when he ignored the law, which might be scandalous to say out loud, but pretty much every one knows that’s exactly what he’s up to.
From the Daily Caller:
Former Attorney General John Aschcroft said that President Obama appeals to ethnic politics while ignoring the law.
“The president believes that the democracy speaks to him not through Congress but through opinion polls” and advisers, Ashcroft said Friday in a speech before a group of Republican lawyers at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Ashcroft weighed in on the controversies surrounding Obama’s immigration executive order and the racial powder keg in Ferguson, Missouri. The Bush Department of Justice chief spoke about the police officers shot in his home state and the two officers tragically executed in New York City since the beginning of the Michael Brown-Eric Garner protests.
Without specifically naming current Attorney General Eric Holder, Ashcroft took aim at the Obama administration’s actions.
“I do not believe that prosecutorial discretion includes ignoring wholesale sections of the law,” Ashcroft said, noting that the administration will pursue certain initiatives to appease “some ethnic portions of the country” to help assemble a governing majority.
Clearly he’s talking about Hispanics for the sake of unconstitutionally imposing immigration law, and maybe with African-Americans as well as the current Attorney General seeks to make it easier to convict Americans for federal crimes involving race. Still, as obvious as this should be to anyone, it’ll probably cause some furor for his even saying the word “ethnic.”
