NAACP occupies Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office, calls for him to withdraw U.S. A G nomination
NY Daily News ^ | January 3, 2017 | JASON SILVERSTEIN

Members of the NAACP started occupying the office of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions Tuesday and called for him to turn down his controversial nomination to become the next U.S. Attorney General.

“The @NAACP & @AlabamaNAACP are occupying the Mobile office of @jeffsessions--until he withdraws as a AG nominee or we're arrested,” NAACP President Cornell William Brooks tweeted at 12:44 p.m., with a photo showing several members sitting outside the door.

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Sessions, 70, to be his Attorney General — a move that drew immediate rebukes for Sessions' history of opposing civil rights causes.

Sessions lost a nomination from President Ronald Reagan to become a federal judge after accusations that he had made racist remarks. Former colleagues said he called civil rights groups, including the NAACP, “un-American” and “communist inspired,” but said he was “okay” with the Ku Klux Klan until he learned that some members smoked marijuana.

Since then, he has earned a reputation as one of the staunchest conservatives in the Senate, and he has opposed Obamacare, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and all three of President Obama’s Supreme Court nominees.

REMEMBER that law Congress enacted about safe corridors around Congressmen under Obama? USE IT. Arrest them and kick their butts out of the Office. DO IT.

Show of hands ....

How many think the NAACP should run the AG’s Office ?

Methinks they do. Current AG:

Previous AG:

The latter left under scandal, and the former may too, depending on how she handles the Clinton matter.

Don’t be flippant about this move. This is just STEP ONE in a long, scripted campaign to destroy Sessions by Obama, Podesta and Soros. Dig in, folks.

I say start dragging their asses out and down the hall. Film it and show it on the news. People need to see that this s—t won’t be tolerated any longer. Where the GOP would wet themselves at the idea - Trump will rise several points in the polls.

The reality is nobody could give a hoot about the NAACP or what they think. Their imput is, in effect, DOA......as of election night.

As one savvy Freeper noted: "civilized people cannot live side by side with liberals. To put it bluntly, liberals are demented and dangerous."

Scratch off the cheap "tolerant and compassionate" veneer of these antediluvian types and you get raging haters, salivating to overthrow the US govt, to install a govt of their choosing.

The deluded inbred diversity types act like the safety and security of Americans is inconsequential. These issues didn’t make the A-list of “Things To Do To Make Us look Good In Our Own Eyes.”.

There is something so intrinsically troubling about the self-absorbed mindset of these people. Their concerns are limited by “I, my, me, mine.” They can’t see past their own prejudices, needs and desires.

A truly fruity bunch. They are a ruinous gaggle of overpaid, entitled, smarmy, elitist, know-it-alls. Their entire world revolves around themselves.

They loll around cashing US govt checks and counting the number of brown people in govt.

================================================

ACTION NOW Contact your Representative
Capitol Switchboard 1-866 -220-0044

Contact President-Elect Trump's web site. www.greatagain.gov.

Trump and Sessions MUST close down every single one of these tax-free "identity" organizations and foundations raising money to overthrow the US govt.

FIRST---Instruct the IRS to pull their tax-free status.

THEN---Prosecute them all for aiding and abetting the overthrow of the US govt.

Yes, they really are that ignorant.

And, they’re hoping to provoke a physical confrontation that the media will dutifully carry 24-7.

Let ‘em sit there and rot.

Toss in some dye packs and skunk spray. Let them marinate in their own juices for a few days.

That makes it easy. The only remaining question is, why are they still there?

Let them sit there in their irrelevant kitchen diplomacy and ignore them. All they want is attention, money and special, but certainly not equal rights.

Sitting around, not doing anything. Not exactly good role models.

In the eyes of the crazy left, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Janet Reno were NOT controversial picks for Attorney General.

No sir-ee Bob.

These idiots should be in a padded cell.

Yeah, let’s all bow down to the Black klan. Those days are over. The African Mob is no longer in charge.

Do any of these people ever have a job? Imagine if they had labor inputs to their own lives like they do for demonstrating - they’d all be rich.
