Former Attorney General Eric Holder Eric Himpton HolderThe Hill's Campaign Report: Trump's rally risk | Biden ramps up legal team | Biden hits Trump over climate policy Biden campaign forming 'special litigation' team ahead of possible voting battle Pompeo, Engel poised for battle in contempt proceedings MORE slammed President Trump’s first 100 days in office as “chaos” and “carnage on basic American rights” during an interview on MSNBC on Sunday.

Holder appeared on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” and told host Rev. Al Sharpton that the first 100 days of Trump’s administration have helped revive the Democratic Party.

“You have seen in the chaos, and lack of accomplishment in these 100 days, things that give me great pause, and I think it's the basis for a renaissance of the Democratic Party,” Holder, an attorney general for former President Obama, said.

Trump marked his 100th day in office with a rally in Harrisburg, Pa., instead of attending the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. At the rally, he pushed back at the media, saying coverage of his first 100 days has been unfair.

"If the media’s job is to be honest and to tell the truth, then I think we would all agree the media deserves a very, very big, fat failing grade," he said.

Trump boasted of his accomplishments at the rally, noting the appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and the decline in immigrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

"We've started from day one," Trump said. "And that is what we've delivered: 100 days of action."

But he largely avoided addressing the challenges he’s faced during his first 100 days in office, including the fight over repealing ObamaCare and the legal challenges to his travel ban.
