While hundreds attended a memorial service Friday for the six people shot at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., this week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder garnered attention from some for his lack of head covering.
Wondering why Walker, Jackson and Thompson all wore head covers at the Sikh funeral today, but Eric Holder did not.

@BradHicksFox6 Watching the news & the coverage of the funeral. Why is it that Eric Holder seems to be the only one w/o the head covered?

Scott Walker wore a head scarf out of respect for the Sikh religion at the funeral today. Eric Holder didn't.

@Reince One of these things are NOT like the other. Everyone had a head wrap today except Eric Holder and his 'peeps'. pic.twitter.com/AQR4lQYi

In his speech, Holder called the shooting “an act of terrorism, an act of hatred, a hate crime.”
AG: "Although we have been brought together by an unspeakable, and devastating, tragedy – we are bound together by far more."
