Sharpton Promises ‘Season of Civil Disobedience’ in Response to Sessions Nomination

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.

If Trump backs down now he’ll lose all control of who he gets to nominate.

Somehow I cannot see DJT backing down to this shyster of a street agitator, cut from the same bolt of cloth as his current savior, Lord Obama.





THIS IS THE EVIL IN HOLLYWEIRD THE FLYOVER NATION IS UP AGAINST. Turn off you MTV and the like and let them depend on the west and east liberal coasts to line their pockets. Frankly I wish CA and NY would secede.

Not-So-Sharpton hasn’t quite figured out that the guy he’s “civilly” protesting will on that day become the guy in charge of putting people away for federal crimes.

That’s Sharpton’s codeword for violence and insurrection by his own domestic terrorists. If Sharpton is among them when violence starts, his should be the first head turned into pink mist.
