Sessions's actual track record certainly doesn't suggest he's a racist. Quite the opposite, in fact. As a U.S. Attorney he filed several cases to desegregate schools in Alabama.

When he was later elected the state Attorney General, Sessions followed through and made sure Hays was executed.

Good for him that may be something in Jeffy's favor. Let's also remember that Eric Trump stated that Trump supporter KKK David Duke deserves a bullet. Just another way to make America grate again.

I am not attacking him, but feel his own words pretty much tell his story. He is a very poor choice as AG......there are many great US attorneys who are young competent and Republican. I think what bothers me is that for somebody who argues that he wants to drain the swamp, this seems to be the type of moves I am used to from the Chicago Democrats.....patronage and getting your buddies in government when there were twenty accomplished younger Republicans with great prosecution records. This is lazy at best, but typical machine quid pro quo.
