Senator Jeff Session’s two-day confirmation hearing for Attorney General began Tuesday, and kicked off with multiple public meltdowns among liberal protestors.
As the hearing was just getting started, two protesters wearing Ku Klux Klan garb (wonder where they got those?) screamed in fake southern accents that Sessions is a racist, while holding fan fingers reading, “Go Jeffie Boy!” and “KKK.”
As Sessions sat calmly with his granddaughter on his lap, other protesters joined in. Activists from the leftist group Code Pink chanted, “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.”
Each disruptive hissy fit “protest” was swiftly removed from the hearing by security.
It’s too bad they couldn’t stick around, because what came next proved these left-wing loonies are willfully uninformed in their dramatic criticisms of Sessions.
Senator Chuck Grassley began the hearing addressing Sessions relationship with the KKK, stating facts that prove the exact opposite of what the protesters were proclaiming.
Sessions was one of the driving forces in the capital punishment of Klansman Francis Hays for the murder of African-American teenager Michael Donald. Grassley praised Sessions, saying, “He made sure that case was brought to state court where the defendant was eligible for and received the punishment that he justly deserved: the death penalty.”
A Code Prink activist told The Daily News that their purpose at the hearing was, “to oppose racism, homophobia, and anti-immigrant policies.”
It’s clear the protesters get their information from the liberal media, and ignore accurate information that is right in front of them and coming straight from the source.
Sessions addressed wrongful accusations of racism at the start of the hearing, claiming they are, “damnably false charges.”
He promised as Attorney General he would, “never falter in its obligation to protect the rights of every American, particularly those who are most vulnerable.”
In addressing the left’s concern of mass deportations, Sessions said, “We are not in a position, financially or otherwise, to seek out and remove (all illegal immigrants).” Instead, he offered, “We will prosecute those who repeatedly violate our borders. It will be my priority to confront these crises vigorously, effectively and immediately.”
He spoke out against torture, and even announced he would recuse himself from any investigations related to failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, presumably in favor of an independent investigators.
While Sessions made relatively moderate, inclusive statements, the intolerant left clearly don’t read past the headlines.
As Sessions’ hearing heads into it’s second day Wednesday, protests will likely continue as he defends himself against, “damnably false charges.”

if the left is riled up it means you are doing something right!!!
I wonder if these people that “:shout and yell out” know how stupid it sounds. Boy, these people are nuts and must not be educated. When they start shouting out, I put MUTE ON.
Doris—I agree with your comment—I believe many of these protesters when to or are attending schools that teach what to think in place of how to think—-they appear to not care about the truth or anything real
Obviously, they don’t know what the truth is? Additionally, they don[t care and don’t try to find the truth.
they are being paid
I agree, Doris, they were never educated, they were indoctrinated by unionized ‘teachers’ and college ‘professors’ who have never lived in reality.
They were probably educated in communist-infiltrated schools; that’s why they think the communist left is peachy.
These noise makers are being paid by George Soros. He said he will spend 20 million dollars to see that Trumps inauguration is interrupted continually. I never liked Obama but I stood his destructive ploy for 8 years so now it’s the Democrats time for 8 years Deal with it Streep believers. 1/
I agree with Doris. First, the KKK would not be pointing fingers to call someone a racist. In my lifetime, I have observed the Klan trying to promote itself as some justice seeking organization. In the early 1950’s they wanted to make appearances in local churches to make public contributions. They concurrently wanted to show their power, with cross burnings and violence. The KKK was right up there with the NAACP on the AG’s list of subversive organizations that prevented service in the military. The Klan was strong in Alabama, with youth indoctorinatrion camps, etc., until Jeff Sessions brought justice to their murdering a Mobile, AL. black youth. Winning this case, placed one murder on “Death Row” and set a precident for a civil case that depleated the KKK resources. We no longer have KKK headlines in our Alabama papers. Thank you, Senator Sessions.

These are the socialist commie libs whose brains have been rotted away by ray inducing bammie phones! They can throw those phones away as they won’t be working much longer!!! I am afraid it is too late for these linatics to recover!!
The Communist Party USA had a brochure out in the late sixties which stated that they were planning to infiltrate the public schools, and one of the major political parties.
Looks like they made good on that threat.

The progressive marxists show up @ sessions hearing in white sheets and hoods, this is appropriate since the progressive marxists are the inventors of the kkk. The democrat donkey is the kkk. The donkey have conspired against people of color since the end of the civil war. Woodrow wilson our first marxist president revived the klan during his presidency in 1913. Members of the klan like al gore sr, senator and grand wizard Robert byrd, storm Thurmond to name a few. The donkey party hates the black community, all one needs due id look @ the trillions sent to the inner cities, and its ww2 decay and bombed out shells that were once buildings and homes
More censorship by the horn. Every post now is awaiting moderation. This must be a Russian news agency
Bud stop writing worthless shit and they won’t moderate it.
What an insult to real donkeys, many of which are sweet and gentle animals.
It was a donkey that carried Jesus … how horrified people would have been if they had known that the gentle creature would be associated one day with one of the most evil groups to ever poison the world.
Your right jean, change donkey, to progressives marxist racist drones.,
Yes, they are so very ignorant of the TRUE History of America and the differences between the Democrates and the Republicans……the KKK WAS the invention of the Democratic Party!!!! To kill Republicans and Blacks. This country was founded upon the principles of being a REPUBLIC…..NOT a Democracy….which people do not seem to know the difference of those two words either…..so sad…..
Yes Marianne and they still should have all been locked up, taken to court and the hell fined out of them !!!!
I saw and got word that the HUMAN PROPS have been hired and placed in the audience at these hearings – Dick Durbin, shumer and others out did themselves this time…..Still paying them a minimum of 1500 a pop – more if they put on a decent display…….Especially corker……Newark nugget extraordinaire…..
George Soros’s various groups are no doubt paying these people to act up at the hearings. Just as he will be paying the violent protesters who have promised to mess up Trump’s Inauguration on January 20th. I pray for his safety and that of his family and supporters that day…………………
From what I understand, bikers for Trump are going to back trump and keep things calmer! God bless them!
It is my understanding that “visitors” require a sponsorship from someone on the committee. Which senator or representative sponsored the personnel who protested? That information should be made public
Old Troll 3, I agree completely…..Everyone should KNOW how the people who are supposed to be representing them in DC vote or abstain from all the issues.
THIS IS ORGANIZED SEDITION, ARREST THE PRICKS OR SHOOT THEM, BUT NO MORE, IT’S OUT OF CONTROL AND NOW THE COPS ARE SHIVERING LIKE A FRENCHMAN IN A THUNDERSTORM. WE NEED TO END THIS LEFT WING SHIT NOW
I am assuming that the protestors are without gainful employment. If gainfully employed they would not be taking time off from work to make asses of themselves. Continuing on the assumption they are not employed, who is paying them to show up at the hearings?
Didn’t watch it. Didn’t listen to it. Didn’t pay attention to the MSM. Didn’t want to spoil my day with the usual radical socialist crying and lying. The reason they don’t want Sessions in the A.G. chair is they are afraid he will go after Hildabeast or possibly both Clintons due to the “foundation” and maybe even Obutthead. Shouldn’t be very hard proving multiple incidences of “treason” and “dereliction of duty”.
You are so right . I refused to listen or pay my electric bill to have those MORONS show their ignorance. of course the media will make it know and cause more issues.
Just MORE snowflakes, cupcakes and fruitcakes looking to whine. DRAIN the swamp!!!
Don’t Drain It….BURY IT!!
Whatever happens to these people whom the capitol police eject from meetings? Are they charged with something and sent to jail? If so, maybe by the time the real inauguration ceremony happens there will be none left and the proceedings can happen in a civilized manner!
I am guessing that the clowns in the KKK outfits yelling go Jeffie boy were libs trying to make republicans once again look like racists.
Lin, and others, I was born and raised in deep south, never saw or heard of KKK members here, (except in publicity stunts) like this. Southerners are not a general racist group of people. My daughter when she was in public school, came across a term she didn’t understand and asked “What’s a n….r? Just because we are southern, dosen’t mean we are rasist, of course the country as a whole is more divided after 8 years of race, racist acts and someone yelling ‘you’re a racisist’ all the time, really ratchets race card up.
And yelling “racist” when a race isn’t even involved.
For instance, what race do Mexicans constitute? None; they are hispanic Caucasians.
What race do Muslims belong to? Not any one, since Muslims can be any race.
What race is Obama? Not one, since he is of (quite) mixed heritage.
These people are either liars or they are so ignorant that they don’t know there are no races by the names “Mexicanoid,” “Muslimoid,” or “Obama-oid.”
GO SESSIONS❤️????????❤️????????❤️????????❤️????????????
He will be exactly what the socialist libs don’t want! Honest prosecution of all, not just repubs, will stop all this transgender homo bullshit as well! He will enforce the constitution and all laws of this soon to be great again country! I am a democrat but these idiots of today aren’t dems anymore! I have been one, a real one, since JFK !!
as we watch the libocrats ply their “gott-cha” questions, one must wonder ;”why are the protesters mostly women”, is the party a group of geogre soros paid clowns or are they still a viable political party of NO? Liberalism [ship] is taking on water and the rats are going to drown with it.
We should not pay any attention at all to what any liberal says or does because they have a mental disorder. We should show patience and have a lot of pity for them. They are truly tortured souls. However, I am really enjoying the show.
We have to pay attention to what they are doing; we got into this disastrous situation by not paying enough attention to them!
Why? Because they fear honesty and intelligence.
And honesty isn’t real high up on any liberal’s list of ideals either, so don’t even go there.
Honesty has no cash value.
THIS IS SOROS GANG PAID BY HIM
Watching the two black men swearing and using profanity with children in the room, watching the girl in the red coat making a total fool of herself, watching the Pepto Bismol gals dressed in pink, and the KKK men who had fake get-ups made by the liberals made me laugh my ass off. This is EXACTLY why they lost the election. PEOPLE AT LAUGHING AT THEM. I should thank them for helping make the Republican party grow stronger. Who in their right mind wants to be associated with the clowns in a Democratic circus? Such a pack of losers.
When we build that wall, can we PLEASE put California on the other side too ?
A very good thought!!!!
YES,YES,YES!! Wall in Corruptifornia & all libtards/libturds, actors with loud mouths & NO brains & all illegals!
Angry Brain and Ellen, too,
Where IS your brain? I am a Californian, born here, raised here and came back. Your comment tells me you didn’t think it through. Shame on you. I am also a Republican and pro-Trump.
Good for you……now pack up and for the sake of your family…..GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT FOREIGN LAND!
Only if you also are willing to wall out New York and Massachusetts. (the original left coast).
Sessions is the most honest man for A.G that has ever been nominated for the job.
Jeff Sessions will be a great attorney general. Many of these protestors have nothing of value to offer our nation. They only want to create chaos. The protestors are an embarrassment to anyone who might have a legitimate concern about this nomination.
Let them act like t he horses a$$es they are. Just show America how ignorant they are
The Code Pink is aggressive violent organization a kin of terrorist organizations. In 2009 (if am not mistaken) They made Flotilla to Gaza with Humanitarian aid. But when Israeli guards wanted to check it, they opened fire. The “Flotilla” was loaded with weapons, instead of Hum. aid. Such a hatred , lie and violence to Israel are not far from racism and homophobia. The Code Pink shouldn’t be admitted to the hearing
If you are correct, that WAS terrorist, not a kin of terrorist organizations!
I find it (almost) laughable that at the confirmation hearings, allegations of Senator Sessions being racist by some in the colored community, (Congressional Black Caucus) especially since AMERICA has lived through the antics of two of the Obama administration Attorney Generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.
On a side note, did anyone else who watched the confirmation hearings on CSPAN3 catch a glimpse of Obama’s advisor on Race Relations (Rev???) Al Sharpton?? He appears to be EXTREMELY thin. (the suit he was wearing looks like it could have been bought in the Young Boys department at J.C. Penney’s~~no slam or promotion intended)
It would appear that one of two conditions exists: Sharpton is either doing unsolicited testimonials for Weight Watchers, OR,
he is suffering from the later stages of Acquired Immune Deficiency Disorder.
Don’s rhetoric not withstanding, and that “The Rev” is a masterful self promoter, to get a good look at how low this scam artist will go to get ahead, google Tawana Brawley. There are greater fighters for equality and justice, than him, just my opinion.
They’re on publicly circulated film forever disrupting Gov. dressed as KKK. Can’t whine their way out of destroying their own job opportunities.
Even those deluded leftists consider themselves informed on the issues, albeit they are grossly deceived by emotional hype!
HES A GREAT MAN S M A R T & H O N E S T
Gosh, reminds me the Republicans (except not as nicely dressed) banging on the walls outside the Miami-Dade recount in 2000. They should be ashamed.
Surveys with loaded responses, from the left and the right, that I have to click on to, are not something I respond well to. So with that said, I have a brain and good ears, so after I hear the Mr. Sessions responses to senate questioning, and read RESPONSIBLE discussion on the hearing, then I will make a choice. His southern accent, the state he is from, his conservative views or his support of President elect Donald Trump, will not interfere with my personal opinion on him as A.G. Hopefully we will have a person who will follow and believe in The Constitution of The United States of America.
The Hypocrisy and Ignorance of the political and Institutional Left is absurd and ridiculous , The Klan was at one time the military wing of the Democrat party , The Clinton Crime Family has had many and long ties to the Klan
It may be “absurd and ridiculous,” but we’d best be careful, because it is also evil and dangerous.
A Code Prink activist told The Daily News that their purpose at the hearing was, “to oppose racism, homophobia, and anti-immigrant policies.” And support liberal cronyism and rigged elections.
99% of all liberal have no class.
Why is it awaiting moderation ?
The 1% that might have the appearance of having class support the other 99%, which means that they DON’T have class, either.
Liberals will never learn, thney will crewam, hollar and moan abouj9t everything they can’t have which they used to have./ ///////// TOO BAAAD – ooo sda – your DAD, get used to it liberlas. ////////////////////////////
Evidently the KKK fools do not know that the KKK was created by the Democrat party. Not surprising.
They sound like a bunch of free loaders who néver worked in their lives,
This sort of irrational behavior is exactly why the socialist democrat party had such significant losses in the past election and is on the verge of collapse. People are tired of politics as usual. People are tire of the socialist democrats telling them how to think and what to think. What was once called the silent majority is no longer willing to be silent and allow the socialist to run rough shod over them. The shall not silence us!
I watched Sessions as the Code Pink and KKK were trying to disrupt everything, and he is a gentleman and showed that he could handle anything that comes his way. Of course Soros is behind all of this, and I must say the Democrat’s shouldn’t have let those people stay in there that long, but knowing them they wanted to let the TV viewer’s know how much they hate the Republican’s and Trump’s nominee’s. They did it again today with Tillerson. The Democrat’s have proven how uncouth they are, and how far they have given over to the communist party. Maybe we should go back to the 50’s when the movie set and others were black listed because of their affiliation with the communist party. These aren’t nice people. I just wonder how our country has gotten so low that they will let this party interfere with our government. Thank God Obama will not be our President much longer. He had ruined our country and our relationship with other countries. They are all laughing at us. Putin is probably laughing his head off with the Democrat’ sand Republican’s blaming him for this hacking, he wasn’t involved. Most likely a disgruntled Democrat was the one to leak all of the stuff. They can’t believe one of theirs would do something like this.
I can’t help but wonder why security allowed these protesters with their robes and signs to enter the chambers. Freedom of speech should not include freedom to disrupt organizational procedures, especially where the governing of our country is involved. These people should not have been allowed to enter..
This is what happens when your government puts a gigantic amount of people on welfare….they have nothing else to do with their day, and maybe they can earn a few bucks protesting. It definitely serves the purpose of the socialist dems….free publicity for their side. One woman was reading from a piece of paper in her hand so she’d know what she was supposed to yell about…..so sad….the level of mentality these people have doesn’t do a thing for the good of our country….but I guess there will always be those ignorant types.
If Sessions is rejected you are going to see a REAL hizzy fit ! So much for your massive resistance attack the day Trump becomes President. We have had ENOUGH !
I thought the whole view and 1/2 of Hollywood was going to Canada if Trump won –why are they still here–ill chip in to buy bus tickets –ah they can ride in the back
Why isn’t the setting AG not required to be at these.hearings, in all fairness the dems have had there choose and not questioned her racism once. If Sessions is a concern to be racist lets be allowed to question lynch.the dems have said it was unconstitutional for Trump to give any type of orders to Sessions then lets take a look at the Sitting AG and the orders from Obama given to her.if these so smart brain dead people new the constitution they would know the disorder they are causing by there unruly disobedience and actions they have disrupted these hearings and congress has the right to hold each one accountable and can remove them from there job
We should demand our congress do there job to stop this disobedience and abuse taking place at these hearings.they threaten Ted Cruz with this when called told McConnell he was lying yet they are afraid of the dems. Congress get a backbone quit letting the dems bully you around and your job.
The Looney Left Show has Begun anew, Bravo good show, now tape & make into a comedy piece for Greg Gutfeld Show On FNC Id be so funny, edit & make into a Visual Comedy.
DIRTY POLITICS. A DOG-AND-PONY SHOW. POLITICAL THEATER. WHENEVER THE LIBERALS WHINE, YOU KNOW THAT WE’RE ON TO SOMETHING GOOD. PETULANT CHILDREN, UNEVOLVED AND ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT ABOUNDS. TRULY SHAMEFUL.
Right, Center or Left, we should agree that we want an honest person as our Attorney General. And we want one who will enforce the law, and work to defend all Americans, regardless of skin color, belief system, sexual orientation or religion.
– On his questionnaire for the Senate confirmation hearing, Sen. Jeff Sessions named four civil rights cases among the 10 most significant cases he had “personally” litigated. But former Justice Department attorneys who oversaw three of those cases, denied that in the Washington Post on January 3rd:
“We worked in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which brought those lawsuits; we handled three of the four ourselves. We can state categorically that Sessions had no substantive involvement in any of them.” — Conclusion: Not so honest.
— Senator Sessions voted against renewal of the Voting Rights Act [VRA], which 50 years ago finally ensured African Americans the right to vote in America. Last week Senator Sessions called the VRA “inconvenient.” — Conclusion: Not willing to defend voting rights.
— Senator Sessions voted against Hate Crime legislation to cover LGBT and black people. — Conclusion: Not willing to staunchly defend sexual and racial minorities from abuse.
— In my opinion, Sen. Jeff Sessions has shown by his Senate voting record that he is too extreme in his opinions to hold the AG position.
Hey Stephan, who asked you? Go lay by your dish!
Jeff Sessions will be confirmed. As he should be and what an improvement over the last two. I bet the progressive communistic democrats feel something slipping. Good!
After the past 8 years it w/b nice to have an AG and a President that respect the law.
When I see these how these people (animals) act I am embarrassed, but then I remember the popular saying…”you can’t fix stupid” !
Hey rpv, your right you can’t fix stupid but as an RN I would be happy to sedate it!????
I can`t believe this Country has gotten so far off track from what it used to be, and was always intended to be… The founding fathers started us on the right track and set up government and provided for the common good…. Things seem to be far from Right ! .What Happened ? ..Where did it start going the wrong way…? If Thomas Jefferson were here … What might he say…? This is not our fore father`s Country.. It seems so thrown off track and struggling…After WWII things were in order… We produced our own products and goods. We were self sufficient. The Cold War was bad … But we dealt with it. Corporations started saying We could cut our overhead if we started doing business over seas. . We could double our profits with cheap labor… Also lets start buying less expensive foreign made products and goods… How has that worked out..? Things started going noticeably wrong a few years after Nixon Made the big Improved relations with China Deal… China started trading with The US… They took the money and built up their Military… The don`t have to pay their people for labor or military enlistment.
All the money went to the still basically Communist controlled Heads of state. They decided … We will become militarily Strong and take over the Eastern Hemisphere…. Our jobs and money went to them and other countries… We don`t even manufacture the basic products we need to mount a defense against them…. They are made overseas. How did this happen ?
