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

Posted on 01/03/2017 11:15:03 AM PST by EinNYC

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.

So, Jason Silverstein is reporting in the NY Daily News about “accusations” made against Sen. Jeff Sessions.

Is that the same Jason Silverstein who was “accused” of being a pedophile and child molester after he “allegedly” kidnapped and raped those young girls?

Or is it the same Jason Silverstein who was “accused” of telling racist jokes and gay-bashing when at college?

Or perhaps it is the same Jason Silverstein who was “accused” of shooting a selfie video as he hurled an innocent puppy dog out of his car window as he sped down the highway?

So, then, exactly when did Jason Silverstein stop beating his wife?

The must be arrested immediately and punished to the fullest extent of the law. If not, we need to start forming our own activist groups both to defend against physical intimidation from the left, and to retaliate with our own direct action against them if they don’t back off.

This is war people. Physical intimidation is a hair’s breadth from violence, at most. The left needs to understand that these illegal physical intimidation tactics are not part of democracy. They do not have a right to trespass on our property, to commandeer public property for their own exclusive use, or to interfere with our rights to free speech and free assembly, let alone to assault us, as often happens at these “protests.” Time to demand and end to this and they don’t agree, retaliation and self defense are in order.

BlackLivesMatter "activists" mostly got away with rioting, burning, and looting, so I have no doubt that these NAACP hoodlums will get away with this as well.

The time has come to put an end to this BS.
Either arrest, charge and them away for a long time....or just shoot the bassturds.
I really don’t care which.

They are.

Now (just like the original democRAT Klan) they have been co-opted by the RATs. Their mission: to keep blacks from voting for Republicans (Klan with a Tan)

“communist inspired,”

They are.

Back in the 60s when the hippies, women's rights, black power, all that Soviet promulgated "cultural revolution" happened....the "liberation theology" was introduced....by the Soviets.

he was “okay” with the Ku Klux Klan until he learned that some members smoked marijuana.

That's total crap!

If he ever said such a thing it was as a joke, he as AG and later went after KKK member Henry Francis Hays for the murder of a young black man, prosecuting him and insisting on his death penalty, and spent two decades going after the Klan.

He was largely responsible for destroying the KKK in Alabama.

Yes!

Send Sheriff Clarke and any other black DJT supporters to hold their own “press conference” right there in the office, to clearly express their strong support of our beloved Sen. Sessions!

I suggest turning the power and water off. Note to Paul Ryan: works on house members too.

Let ‘em sing civil rightsy stuff as they’re hauled off, pretend they’re back in the ‘50s, breaking Birmingham with MLK. Just treat ‘em nice and let them have their fantasies, so they don’t suddenly realize that they’re a bunch of snowflakes and melt until they’re safely off the premises.

I was not flippant. I was dead serious. Call the police and let the police do their job. I am tired of these bastards doing as they please and the hell with everybody else.

I thought NAACP stood for “Negroes Are Actually Colored Polacks”.

FlingWingFlyer:" The NAACP DOES NOT SPEAK for America!
They speak for their tribe only and that’s it."

If they are a non-profit acting as a political entity
then take away their 'non-profit' status, and re-apply as political operatives.

Where the heck do they get the gall to occupy Sen. Sessions' office without his or his staff's consent? They should be busted for trespassing.

Where are the Capitol Police? Oops, I forgot that this is still the Obama Administration running the show.
