Senator Jeff Sessions, hypocritical racist moonbat

He was rejected by the very same committee twenty years ago for 'racially insensitive' statements asserting that he thought that the Klan was OK until he found out they smoked 'dope' and calling white civil rights lawyers 'race traitors.' Here's a collection of the media coverage at the time scanned in on Flickr. [Ed: Scan above from Newsweek]"
