Attorney General Eric Holder is in Paris this week to attend a meeting on fighting terrorism, but did not participate in the massive march with world leaders Sunday to honor the 17 people killed last week in France. A staggering 3.7 million people were at the march – including more than 40 world leaders.

National Review posted the following:

President Obama was not there, and nor was any top-level American official, not even the one who’d been in France the day before. Attorney General Eric Holder attended meetings about extremism in Paris this week but left before the march. When asked why the U.S. didn’t send a prominent representative, a White House official noted to BuzzFeed that the U.S. ambassador to France was present.

Even CNN ran a story about the no-show of the United States.

It stated in part:

The heads of England, Germany and Israel were there.

But President Barack Obama didn’t attend a unity march in Paris on Sunday, days after the deadly attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Nor did his secretary of state, John Kerry, who has deep ties to France.

Attorney General Eric Holder was also in Paris, attending a security summit on combating terrorism. He recorded interviews that appeared on several U.S. news outlets Sunday, but was not spotted at the unity march.

No one from the administration would speak on record about the U.S. representation at the march.

Instead, the United States was represented by U.S. Ambassador to France Jane Hartley.
