African-American Hill Staffer: In 20 Years, Sen. Sessions Hasn't Said 'Anything Offensive or Racist'
pjmedia.ocm ^ | 1/7/2017 | John Ellis

After President-elect Donald Trump named Senator Jeff Sessions as his pick for attorney general, liberals began brandishing their pitchforks and lighting their torches. As Trump's inauguration approaches, they've amped up their assault on the character of Senator Sessions. Trotting out decades-old allegations, the left has attempted to brand the senator with the charge of racism. The senator's camp, of course, hasn't sat idle, and has directly confronted and answered the accusations.

The point man for Senator Jeff Sessions' defense is William Smith. Currently Congressman Gary Palmer's chief of staff, Smith previously worked for Sessions as the chief counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee. In fact, William Smith was the first African-American to serve any member of the Senate Judiciary Committee as chief counsel.

Yeah, well you should have heard him 21 years ago. Or was it allegedly 30 years ago. AG Session hopefully will pursue the hill and bill enrichment scam.

If yo go back and watch The Ben Carson prayer breakfast speech...he’s introduce by Sen. Sessions. Sessions ends up looking very comfortable between the Obamas and Dr. Carson.

Definitely not racist.

This doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s been CALLED a racist and for that, he must pay. Never mind actual evidence.

Well, to liberals this doesn’t matter. Someone’s actual experience with Sessions doesn’t matter. Since this story conflicts with the narrative that Sessions is a racist, the MSNBC crowd will perform character assassination on this person.

To the liberal, the narrative is what is important.

This African-American Hill Staffer will now be declared not officially black, because his politics are incorrect.

I heard a commentator I like and trust say that Sessions is more of a FED man than one that will stick up for states' rights .... the topic prior to that statement was the Bundy case and the hope that Trump will pardon the whole BUNCH of 'em and bring BLM to task ... trial. .... The commentator didn't think Sessions was the guy to do such a thing.

Anyone ?

The United States Attorney General is supposed to be a Fed man. It's not his job to "stick up for states' rights". It's also not his job to interfere in state law. How bad can Sessions be compared to Holder (the racist) and Lynch (the Clinton dealer)?

“To the liberal, the narrative is what is important.”

Actually, the “narrative” is only a “device” to try and derail Senator Sessions approval for his job in the Trump administration. The Liberal/Marxists always resort to their “narrative du jour” to attempt to run someone they regard as a competent opponent out of a key position. It’s simply Alinskyism on steroids.

He is racist if he didn’t contribute to Jesse Jackson and publicly insist all whites owe blacks a life of leisure for perpetuity.

That is where we are now, and that is the current definition of “racist”...

I agree, I was fishing for commentary because of the specific subject being discussed and the statement made.

Get ready, this is going to be fun.

Trump will come down HARD on anyone trying to smear his handpicked men.

Modus operandi of the LEFTIST, convict first, ignore logic or age of accusation, it is the ‘seriousness’ of the CHARGE that is important! A very successful technique when you OWN the MSM and the elite classes. May have some difficulty when someone actually uses the bully pulpit and his twitter account to respond very quickly.

Had a quick pleasant conversation with our UPS guy the other day. Does that make me racis’? He’s a black guy and we were both pleasant so, I don’t know.

That’s the difference between Trump and Reagan. When Ted Kennedy, et al lynched Robert Bork, Reagan withdrew his name. Reagan, though still one of my heroes, did not have the chops for the street fight that Trump has; hand-picked by God Himself.

Going forward, and until the end of time, Trump, everyone associated with his administration, and every action taken by his administration will be branded as racist by the Left.

It’s all they have, anymore.
