Paris (AFP) – Sunday’s massive march in Paris against terrorism drew dozens of world leaders in a show of unity — except from the United States, which was represented by its ambassador.
US Attorney General Eric Holder, who was in Paris Sunday to attend a meeting of interior and justice ministers discussing measures to combat jihadist attacks, was meant to have participated in the rally according to the White House on Saturday, but did not do so, the US embassy in Paris confirmed.
The embassy did not say why Holder did not attend the march. It said the United States was represented in the huge rally by its ambassador to France, Jane Hartley.
Holder, who was protected while in France by a detail of FBI officers, said after the ministers’ meeting that US President Barack Obama wanted to hold a summit of allied leaders in Washington on February 18 to “discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world”.
He also expressed sympathy with France for the three days of carnage it suffered at the hands of three Islamist gunmen, saying: “On this day, we are all French citizens. I am a citizen of France, and we stand in solidarity with the French people.”
Other interior and justice ministers at the meeting, from 11 EU countries, went on to attend the Paris march.
Some observers questioned why the US presence was outranked by so many other countries in the demonstration, which also championed the principle of freedom of expression after Wednesday’s massacre in Paris at the offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.
A CNN presenter, Jake Tapper, noted that Jordan, a close Muslim ally of the US, was represented by its king.

Yeah, in the present environment, the probability that any terrorist released from Gitmo by this muslim communist POS would immediately rejoin the Jihad is 110%.
Consequently, ANY RELEASE OF TERRORISTS FROM GITMO IS TREASON!
Yep, Holder and Obama quietly support the terrorists so it is no surprise that he is a no show. We need to begin a massive PRO-AMERICA rally beginning with flying flags, singing traditional American songs, etc at EVERY PUBLIC event, etc. And when 2016 comes around we REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES NEED TO SUPPORT TED CRUZ 150% and lead the way to the convention with a man who TRULY loves America!!!
As for Holder and Obama, they will stand before God in the judgement day and their judgement will be harsh and swift.
Muslim scumbags - both of them!
HA!!!! well done!
sad, but entirely close to the truth.
That IS his side of the fence.
He was in one of the French Islamic No-Go feifdoms marching with the muzzies.
The pictures I saw of Holder standing with the group was very interesting, to say the least.
He was in the second row .. no smile .. looked very, very unhappy. I wondered if his comments had not been received well in his meeting .. because FOX only commented one time about him .. that he had attended a meeting.
From that, I got the impression Holder didn’t “hold” any sway (couldn’t resist the pun) over the meeting.
Therefore, I surmise that Holder left because they didn’t give him any deference .. and he was offended. BooHoo
I’m glad .. this admin deserves every slight they are dealt, and I hope most of those invited to Obama’s planned “Security Summit” refuse to come.
A year ago I'd have called you a nutjob for the above.
Now? I'm in complete agreement.
Another Holder/Obama accomplishment - bringing shame to America. We couldn’t get any representation higher than the US ambassador to France who is stationed in Paris anyway? This is beyond pathetic. It is a deliberate insult to the West and endorsement of the Islamists.
That way, the IslamoNazis can get it before the CIA.
Eric Holder.
Spit.
The WH is seething because:
1. The Islamic attack in Paris took the “America is Racist” off the front page
2. The Paris attack revealed the true intent of his Islamic brothers and may well reveal the true intent of Obama himself.
He was probably busy supplying the peaceful jihadis with weapons.
Awful-—He should have attended—even if he never said a word. he should be dumped! Obama should have gone-—It looks bad—no Americans Present. What does this tell our allies?
To be sure and send their Ambassadors to represent them at Ø's summit next month.
I don’t understand it....an African-American (per CNN) French muslim was killed by the dastardly French police. Holder should have been there. (snicker)
“Obola and Holder’s REAL GOALS are funding terrorists,
weaponizing terrorists, defending terrorists,...”
******************************************************************************************************
Well, those are MORE than just GOALS; they are now accomplishments. And there will be more such accomplishments to come. This pro-Islamic regime does NOT have the interests of America and its citizens in its heart.
I hope he’s not running weapons in europe.
Hartley is known for being a campaign bundler who raised more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election bid in 2012.
