Black Democrat: Going Last at Sessions Hearing Like Being Sent to ‘Back of the Bus’
breitbart.com ^ | 1/11/2017 | Adelle Nazarian

On Wednesday, Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) — head of the Congressional Black Caucus — blasted the Senate Judiciary Committee’s decision to have three black members of Congress testify last at Sen. Jeff Sessions’ (R-AL) Tuesday confirmation hearing for attorney general, saying it was the equivalent of being sent to the “back of the bus.”

“First I want to address my concerns about being made to testify at the end of the witness panels,” Richmond said, according to The Hill. “To have a senator, a House member, and living civil rights legend testify at the end of all of this is the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus.”

Always the race card with blacks. The Democrats have indoctrinated them to the point that anything that goes wrong in their lives is racially motivated. If this congressman from Louisiana would wake up he’d see his own party are keeping blacks at the “back of the bus” and preventing them from being successful economically.

Can you imagine what it must be like to spend every waking hour just totally pissed off at your skin color?

The incessant whine coming from liberals is getting excruciatingly tiresome.

I thought it was good to give the closing arguments.

These people are pathetic. I don’t mean black people but these goofy ones who act like they grew up in slavery. They are milking a dry cow when it comes to repentance from me. I am not guilty. I grew up in a cotton patch. I know hard work. I still know how to do a days work. These people need to began in their own neighborhood teaching Christian beliefs and behavior to the young. That is what America was built on, not slavery.

The trio of cedric richmond, john lewis and cory booker didn’t deserve to even be on the bus. They are racists. The race card is all they have to play. They are a disgusting bunch.

Going last also protects you from being bashed by fellow senators following you during the confirmation hearings. Being the last is what he wanted.

Most politicians would LOVE to have the last word in a confrontational exchange.

“”WHY is it always about race?””

obozo opened the door and they all eagerly entered. Can anyone think of ANY news making stories that involved screams of “racist” in the years BEFORE his election? Any instigating/encouraging actions/words against white people? Any animus toward law enforcement from blacks? Any wholesale slaughter of law enforcement officers? I would cite the OJ trial as a news story where the subject of race was prominent - thanks to Johnny Cochran and F. Lee Bailey...and that’s the extent of it. All was quiet on the front until 2008! I don’t think he’s taken credit for it!

In a music concert, the HEADLINER plays last.

In speeches, the ones who go last are the most remembered.

I would bet all the money Hillary ‘lost’ at Dept of State that these two guys ASKED to go last, just so they could complain.

What about the old expression, “Saving the best for last”?

Democrats always have a glass-half-empty view of things. No wonder they’re always unhappy.

Just like hollywood actors....they can cry on cue. They’re all a bunch of dysfunctional, misfit losers, that live off the tax dollars of hard working taxpayers.

So, Corey Booker is a lighter shade of black than he is, thus Booker got to pose his questions and hate on Sessions earlier?
