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.

Kick their goatsmelling asses out. If they refuse to leave, arrest them. The NAACP DOES NOT SPEAK for America! They speak for their tribe only and that’s it.

“Controversial” only in the fevered imaginations of die hard Pinkos.

“Arrest them and remove them.”

Yes, but first take down their names for future reference....

If he doesn’t need the office, let them sit there out of the way. Otherwise, arrest the trespassers.

What history of opposing civil rights causes? Fake news.

NAACP is obsolete and past tense. They were not voted upon, and did not win.

Spot weld the office’s doors and windows shut.

Turn off all power and water.

After eight years send in a HAZMAT Team to clean it out.

Buy the building.

Burn it out; bull doze the rubble and turn it into the Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump city park.

Did I miss any thing?

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.
