“I didn’t know Sessions cared so much about big crowds.”
He doesn’t. He is an old-school conservative and crowds don’t mean so much to him. Sessions endorsed Trump because of his immigration stance. Sessions had been almost a lone voice on illegal immigration except for Cruz and a few others ... and then along comes Trump talking about building a wall.
Sessions initially backed Cruz on immigration. Sessions said Cruz had singlehandedly defeated amnesty. That was a false statement, but it was repeated millions of times by Cruz supporters.
I never understood why Sessions made such an easily debunked claim. He later retracted it.
Obviously my comment was sarcastic.
