Eric Holder Complains That Charlottesville Wasn’t Labeled ‘Terrorism’ Gets Smacked in the Face With Karma – Independent Journal Review

On Saturday afternoon,a man with white supremacist ties plowed his vehicle into a crowd of counter-protesters. One woman was killed, and more than two dozen were injured.

As news of the incident quickly spread, sometook issue with the fact that the White House hadn't come out immediately and labeled it a terrorist action.

Mike Huckabee raised the point that it wasn't always advisable for the President of the United States to jump to conclusions before all of the evidence had been compiled, but that didn't stop former Attorney General Eric Holder from calling him out anyway:

But Jay Caruso of the Dallas Morning News was ready for him:

Caruso was referring to the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood committed by admitted Jihadist and Army Psychiatrist Nidal Hasan. The Daily Beast reported:

As U.S. Army psychiatrist turned jihadi Nidal Hasan finally goes on trial for shooting 13 fellow soldiers to death at Fort Hood, here is what the government continues to classify the 2009 attack:

Workplace violence.

In what might be termed the audacity of nope, the government has declined to call this al Qaedainspired mass murder an act of terrorism because to do so would be unfair to the victims.

The official reasoning is that it would jeopardize the case because, as stated in a Pentagon memo, defense counsel will argue that Major Hasan cannot receive a fair trial because a branch of government has indirectly declared that Major Hasan is a terroristthat he is criminally culpable."

Because the shooting was classified as workplace violence rather than an act of terror, the victims and their families were denied Purple Hearts and certain other benefits available only to service-members who were injured in combat.

Holder was serving as Attorney General at the time.
