House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calls the Republican contempt move against Attorney General Eric Holder an attempt to “stop voter suppression in our country”:
“Contempt of Congress, contempt of Congress. To frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country. I'm telling you, this is connected. It is no accident. It is a decision, and it is as clear as can be. It's not only to monopolize his time, it's to undermine his name. To undermine his name, undermine his name as he goes forward to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
