Attorney General Eric Holder took an indirect shot at congressional Republicans Wednesday over the delay in the confirmation vote of his would-be replacement, Loretta Lynch, asking where the love hes currently feeling from the Hill has been for the past six years.

There is no place Id rather be in my closing days as attorney general than here with you all, he said Wednesday at a Center for American Progress event on a one-year update of the White Houses My Brothers Keeper initiative.

Well, at least these should be my closing days, he said. Given the Senates scheduling and delays in considering Loretta Lynchs nomination for a vote, its almost as if the Republicans in Congress have discovered a new fondness for me. Im feeling love there that I havent felt for some time.

Where was all this affection over the last six years, you know? he said.

Congressional Republicans have strongly criticized Mr. Holders tenure as President Obamas attorney general. But a spat over anti-human trafficking legislation on the Hill this week has held up Ms. Lynchs nomination for the time being meaning Mr. Holder still holds his current position.
