NAACP Leaders Arrested Protesting Super-Not-Racist Jeff Sessions, For No Reason At All!

Donald Trump very disappointed no stretchers were involved


Protesters from the NAACP were arrested Tuesday evening after holding a day-long sit-in at the Alabama offices of Sen. Jeff Sessions, demanding he withdraw his name from nomination as Donald Trump’s attorney general. The protesters seemed to be under the impression that Sen. Sessions has “hostile” attitudes toward civil rights and voting rights, even though Sessions is quite certain he’s as fair-minded as they come. Six of the protesters were arrested for trespassing, according to AL.com, including the group’s national President and CEO Cornell William Brooks, Alabama State Conference President Bernard Simelton, and Lizetta McConnell, head of the NAACP’s Mobile branch.

The protest started with about 30 people staging a sit-in at Sessions’s office in Mobile to call attention to the senator’s dismal record on civil and voting rights, which was bad enough that when he was appointed to a federal judgeship in 1986, the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee rejected his nomination. Apparently what was too racist in the politically correct days of the Reagan years is now no longer such a problem for Republicans.

In a statement issued during the sit-in, Brooks said,
As a matter of conscience and conviction, we can neither be mute nor mumble our opposition to Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions becoming attorney general of the United States […] Sen. Sessions has callously ignored the reality of voter suppression but zealously prosecuted innocent civil rights leaders on trumped up charges of voter fraud. As an opponent of the vote, he can’t be trusted to be the chief law enforcement officer for voting rights.

1. People need to read the history of the civil rights movement in Alabama

Jeff Sessions should NOT be a nominee for AG

[niyad]

2. he should not be a nominee for fly swatter, let alone AG

but we are now living in bizarro world, up is down, black is white, racists can be AG

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Unless you dont believe in civil rights or equal rights and in fact believe

in white supremacy, then you should vote for him.

All the insane, dangerous, destructive shit the GOP and Trump will do is in one category, this in another.

Dont expect the successes of 50 years to be ignored. They wont be.
