Connie Mack Joins Calls for Holder's Resignation over Gun Scandal

U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, who last week joined a crowded Republican primary field to replace Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, has become the 30th congressman to demand the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder over the "Operation Fast and Furious" gun program that allowed weapons purchased in the United States to end up in the hands of violent Mexican drug cartel, the Daily Caller website is reporting.

According to the news site, Mack said late Tuesday that "Eric Holder should resign Fast and Furiously."

Other Florida reps. demanding Holder's resignation are Republicans Allen West, who represents a Southeast Florida district, and John Mica, whose coastal district stretches from Daytona Beach to the Jacksonville area.
