WASHINGTON -- National Action Network president Rev. Al Sharpton promised a “season of civil disobedience” in reaction to the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general in the Trump administration.
Sharpton, an MSNBC host, said activists have planned a march in Washington on Jan. 14 during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to protest the Sessions nomination. Sharpton recalled spending 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy land against military exercises on the island of Vieques in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, adding that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.
“We’re not just doing this to be doing it. We do it because it can lead to change and, believe me, there will be a season of civil disobedience particularly around the Sessions nomination,” he said Friday on a conference call with other civil rights organizations’ leaders such as Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, and Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza.

Only because Sessions is the nominee. “civil disobedience” is what Ds do to opponents regardless of the facts or details.
Sharpton would be throwing a hissy fit if Trump re-nominated Lynch for AG (something like “Lynch didn’t prosecute Bush or CEOs so she’s not the right person for the job...” or “Lynch let Comey throw the election to Trump because she’s working for Trump”).
I’ve seen what the left calls “civil”. It isn’t. And it should be met with an equal (at least) and opposite force.
It was really strange that sharpton and jackson were so quiet during the campaign. I guess they were assessing the new trees to target for a shakedown.
Will never happen. He's one of the protected "species"
Sounds a lot like the “days of rage” Palestinian terrorists are always threatening.
A man freaking out that authorities may find something to place him in a 6x9 cell.
Sharpton couldn’t do his thing properly with a black president. Now he’s back in business and happy.
PJ Media and we here are giving this ‘community agitator ahole’ air time and free advertising to gather his terrorist followers.
I hate to see it. Some things need to stay quit until something happens.
Sharpie needs a sabbatical in Gitmo.
Take your best shot, Al.
US patriots have been laying in ammo and firearms the last eight years in anticipation of this sort of thing.
Sharpton, I promise you a season of water cannons you racist POS.
If Trump backs down now he’ll lose all control of who he gets to nominate.
But he’ll delay “the season” til spring cuz protestin’ in cold weather sucks. Poor turnout by them’s whats oppressed.
Sharpton trying to keep his lying pimping a$$ out of jail. He knows Sessions will be coming for him and all the other shysters who are trying to make a living by keeping blacks on the plantation.
He means breaking the law. Well, they already do.
This from the guy even MSNBC had to pull the plug on because he couldn’t read the big words on the teleprompter...
