Sharpton: Sessions Pick, Proof GOP Is Just ‘Appealing’ to Bigots

President-Elect Donald Trump’s recent nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General appeared to have triggered MSNBC host Al Sharpton Sunday, as he took to his show PoliticsNation to bloviate how the Senator is a racist and the GOP is too. “For Americans worried about how Donald Trump will govern, now we know the answer,” he began his show, “A pick that threatens all the work done by Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.”
The MSNBC host brought on Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson to confirm his accusations about Sessions being a racist. Almost ironically, Johnson, who once feared the island of Guam would capsize because of too many US troops, compared Jewish settlers in Israel to termites over the summer. According to The Washington Free Beacon, Johnson’s comments came, “while speaking at an event sponsored by an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts of the Jewish state.”
