GOP Congressman: Obama Will Replace Holder With "Female Minority" To Deflect Criticism

"I would suspect a female minority that looks a lot like the thought process of Eric Holder as well as the president."

Republican Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar predicted Monday that President Obama will replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder with a "female minority" in an effort to dminish the effects of any GOP opposition.

"I would suspect a female minority that looks a lot like the thought process of Eric Holder as well as the president," Gosar said on NewsMaxTV's America's Forums. "So I wouldn't be surprised that he tried to paint Republicans [poorly] and anybody who would oppose him with a lady and being a minority. So that's what I would actually suspect."

Holder, who announced his resignation last week, plans to leave the Justice Department only after a successor is confirmed.
