& # 39; When they go low, one boots them & # 39;

So much for the high road.

A growing number of Democratic politicians have decided that Michelle Obama's rallying cry, "When they go low, we up," does not cut it in the era of Donald Trump.

The campaign for Democrats in Georgia this weekend, former Attorney General Eric Holder has challenged the ethical requirements of the former First Lady.

Michelle says, "When they go low, we go high. "No, no, when they go down, we kick them up," Holder said to his audience with applause, "That's what this new democratic party is about, we're proud to be Democrats. We are ready to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party We are proud of our history We are proud of our present and the future we can create for this country And we are not in it just to make a statement – we are in it to win. "

A few minutes later, Holder nuanced his words.

"Now, when I say, you know, we're kicking them, I do not mean we're doing something inappropriate," Holder said. "We do not do anything illegal, but we have to be tough."

Holder's comments came one day after Hillary Clinton hit the headlines rejecting calls for political civility with the Republican party.

Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who has expressed interest in running for the presidency of the Democratic Party in 2020, is one of the main supporters of Trump's bellicose rhetoric.

"When they go down, I say, we hit harder," Avenatti told a crowd in Iowa in August, adding, "I think our party, the Democratic Party, must be a party that fights the fire with fire. "

In March, presidential candidate 2020, Joe Biden, added an aggressive speech saying he would have "defeated" Trump if the two men had attended high school together.

"A man who ended up becoming our national chief said," I can catch a woman anywhere, and she likes it, "Biden told a sexual assault rally at the University of Miami. "They asked me if I'd like to discuss this gentleman, and I said no. I said, "If I were in high school, I would take him behind the gym and beat him up."

Biden apologized later for this remark, but Avenatti, who was locked in a war of words with Donald Trump Jr., proposed to step into the ring with the president's son for a three-step charity fight composed martial arts. In a tweet published Tuesday, Avenatti suggested giving the proceeds to an organization fighting sexual violence and reconstruction efforts in Puerto Rico.

President Trump adores this taunting and regularly recounts the rumors expressed by Biden during protests, boasting that the former vice president "rushes at full speed, crying loudly

While the Democratic circles do not fail to debate the best way to attack Trump during the mid-term elections and in 2020, the president has no qualms about supporting a scorched earth approach.

At last week's rallies, Trump described Democrats as "an angry mob" and "the crime party." He said at a demonstration in Minnesota that "Dems are ready for anything so desperate. "

A few days later, he was at Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he stood with a smirk, while his audience chanted "shut up" at the mention of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.
