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.

Meanwhile, Jeff Sessions marched WITH civil rights leaders, NOT against them.

Well, you naalcp’ers, you guys had the lynch-holder regime in the AG’s office for 8 years, and they were far outside the Constitution they were sworn to uphold. And you naacp’ers enjoyed it. We had to endure the stench of it longer than we thought we could.

So, b!tches, get used to an AG who will uphold the Constitution (and not just the 14th Amendment, either). Hold your noses and swallow hard, if you have to. Enjoy!

SWAT team and paddy wagons. Arrest and detain until bail is posted. Repeat as necessary to keep the vermin out of the office. Send a service charge to NAACP (or sue them) for the cost of the response they made necessary.

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

Because, the new Sheriff is NEAR, not here.

No, goldarnit, dagnabbit, the sheriff is a n*%&$r!

If the NAACP really cared about their stated mission of “Advancement of Colored People,” they’d spend less time harassing Jeff Sessions and more time trying to clean up their own war zone neighborhoods.

Why didn’t the NAACP occupy KKK Byrd’s office? OR J. Wm. Fullbright’s office? or any one of the other racist RATs?

Hogtie the racists bastards and throw them into the street, where they can be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

The Anacostia is nice this time of year ...

This tells us, through simple extrapolation, that the NAACP is inclined to favor the KKK.

Given the fact that Jeff Sessions has been the worst enemy of the KKK.
