![AG Nominee Senator Jeff Sessions Used By Ambitious Racist Booker [VIDEO]](https://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/jeff-sessions-cory-booker.png)
The Senate confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Senator Jeff Sessions were hijacked by three racists yesterday. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Representative John Lewis (D-GA5) and Representative Cedric Richmond (D-LA2) spoke at the hearings yesterday in opposition to Senator Sessions (R-AL) with no real accusations only their own racist fantasies.
These men elected in their states to represent their constituencies. These men who are supposed to represent the best in all of us. These men who are in the top 1% of our nation’s population by just about any possible measure took this time to smear a fellow elected official. They had no specific charges against Senator Sessions. They broke no new ground. They only proved their own racism and let themselves and those they represent down.
From the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a portion of Representative Lewis’ testimony:
“It doesn’t matter whether Sen. Sessions may smile or how friendly he may be, whether he may speak to you. We need someone who will stand up and speak up and speak out for the people who need help, for people who are being discriminated against. And it doesn’t matter whether they are black or white, Latino, Asian or Native American, whether they are straight or gay, Muslim, Christian or Jews We all live in the same house, the American house. We need someone as attorney general who is going to look for all of us, not just some of us. I ran out of time. Thank for giving me a chance to testify.”
We know that Rep. Lewis was born into segregation and that life was unlivable. But, that is no allegation against Senator Sessions, who helped prosecute a KKK member.
Representative Richmond’s testimony clip from The Advocate:
“To have a senator, a House member and a living civil rights legend testify at the end of all of this is the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus. It’s a petty strategy,” Richmond told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I don’t mind being last, but to have a living legend like John Lewis treated like that is beyond the pale.”
Maybe Representative Richmond, if any of you had brought any evidence of anything other than your own racism, you would have gone earlier.
For shear unmitigated gall, the chutzpah award goes to, drum roll, Senator Cory Booker! Try to watch this:
Paul Mirengoff at Powerline prints a Facebook post from Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) that contains a look at the Booker motivation.
I’m very disappointed that Senator Booker has chosen to start his 2020 presidential campaign by testifying against Senator Sessions. This disgraceful breach of custom is especially surprising since Senator Booker just last year said he was “honored to have partnered with Senator Sessions” on a resolution honoring civil-rights marchers.
Senator Booker says he feels compelled to speak out because Senator Session wants to keep criminals behind bars, drugs off our streets, and amnesty from becoming law. He’s welcome to oppose these common-sense policies and vote against Senator Sessions’s nomination, but what is so unique about those views to require his extraordinary testimony? Nothing.
This hearing simply offers a platform for his presidential aspirations. Senator Booker is better than that, and he knows better.
Yes, this was about a naked desire to up his political capital. Booker offered no examples or proofs of his brief against Sessions. To the contrary, he opened with an example of Sessions equity.
This ploy, this breaking with tradition in the Sessions’ hearings, was solely about Senator Cory Booker and Booker 2020. Cory Booker proved himself a racist. His only claim against Jeff Sessions. Sessions is a white man born in Alabama. Bias, bigotry or racism, Cory Booker can claim them all. Shame on him.
John Anderson says: I would hope that clear thinking Americans would see through this trio’s blatant hatred for anything and anyone southern. You have written a terrific post – too bad the left has hearing, and comprehension abilities of the truth. I personally think that these guys are just trying to grab a spotlight – to the detriment of their personal credibility.
Toni says: Sessions is a white man from Alabama…ooooo!
Chris in N.Va says: The back of the bus?
Oh, the hyperbole is hyperventilatingly hyperbolic indeed!!!
Poor widdle Cedric. He’s spent so much time in the First Class section of the Race-Baiters Bus that he’s lost perspective on the broader national picture.
“Look at me! I’m a victim! I’m a victim, too!!!”
The 1969’s are calling — they want their Democrat-controlled racist Plantation Politics back.
Chris in N.Va says: 1960’s….stooped taipo
Toni says: First class section of the race baiters’ bus… Lolol
GWB says: We need someone who will stand up and speak up and speak out for the people who need help, for people who are being discriminated against.
NO!
We need an AG who will stand up for the LAW and will speak out against CRIMINALS. We need an AG who understands the Constitution and the limits it places on the federal gov’t, and is worried about equality under the LAW.
GWB…you described exactly who and what an AG should be. Unfortunately for all of us…we haven’t had one of those in place for 8 long years. Sessions will be a welcome change.
SFC D says: Obama and his minion Holder enforced the laws they decided they wanted to enforce. I can’t see Sessions going along with anything like that. The AG gets paid to enforce the law, especially the laws he doesn’t like. He doesn’t get to pick and choose, or change the law, or interpret the law. Sessions said as much with his response to the question on Roe v. Wade.
GWB says: To have a senator, a House member and a living civil rights legend testify at the end of all of this is the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus.
No. No, it isn’t. But it IS equivalent to you being a grandstanding, racist pr–k who has no sense of proportion or propriety and not a shred of humility.
Toni says: GWB –
I like your style
henry green says: Go to Youtube and type in John Lewis radio ad for John Eaves. Several years ago a white man had the temerity to run against John Eaves, a black man who is the chairman of the Fulton County Commission here in Atlanta. Lewis, along with Andrew Young, created a radio ad that ran only on black radio stations. Lewis said that a vote for Eaves opponent would mean a return of barking dogs and firehoses, ala Bull Connor. It was blatantly racist and false, and was rapidly withdrawn, but you can still find it and listen on the internet. It exposes Lewis for the bigot he is.
henry green says: Oops. Not on youtube. Google John Lewis radio ad for John Eaves. It is the very first thing that pops up
jacmo says: Nowhere in the MSM has there been any mention of all the Black business leaders and religious leaders from Alabama who have come out in support of Senator Sessions. Funny how these three clowns can ignore their own race and instead carry water for their White masters in the democrat party.
GWB says: Nicely turned, jacmo.
