Protesters dressed like KKK members gets tossed from Jeff Sessions hearing - as he brings cute grandchildren to help

    The early minutes of Sen. Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing were interrupted by protesters shouting the attorney general nominee down
    Sessions brought along four of his 10 grandchildren and introduced his family members and joked about football in the lead off of the two-day hearing
    The senator's civil rights record will be heavily scrutinized with Democratic Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. John Lewis slated to speak out against his appointment

Before Donald Trump's pick for attorney general Jeff Sessions even got a chance to speak, several protesters dressed like members of the Ku Klux Klan made their views known as they shouted down 'Jefferson Bearegard' and called the senator a 'racist.'

In the early moments of the hearing, Sessions sat in the crowd with one of his  granddaughters on his knee – four of his 10 grandkids were on hand – as Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the committee, brought of the Ku Klux Klan too – but Sessions' record in going after it.

Grassley talked about how Sessions oversaw the investigation of Klansman Francis Hays 'for the brutal abduction and murder of a black teenager Michael Donald.'

'He made sure that case was brought to state court where the defendant was eligible for and received the punishment that he justly deserved: the death penalty,' Grassley said.

Sessions' record on civil rights will be front and center in the scheduled two-day hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same committee that voted down a federal district court judge in 1986. 

In his own words, Sessions explained why his nomination by President Ronald Reagan was thwarted.

@mystery-ak

I was watching when that happened.  I suppose law enforcement can't keep people out based on how they are dressed?

Oh, dear, right now, at 10:30 am central time, there is ANOTHER protest.  More hecklers are being removed at this late time in this hearing.

Everything the left does in their shock and horror about this election makes me want to hug Trump.

Oh, wait, I'm kidding about that but it does remove any lingering fears about our election of him.  No matter what a big baby, slightly scheming and dishonest,  narcissistic jerk Trump is .... Go Trump.

The left is annoyed that Sessions brought his asian american grandchildren along - kinda messes up their 'he's a racist' narrative.

Now you understand the method to Trump's madness.     He draws them out for all to see.  He is the flashlight on the cockroaches.

Hey, now, they're just a couple of Robert C. Byrd fans showing the world what the Democrat party really has to offer: bigotry.

I’m sad that Robert Byrd didn’t live long enough to accuse Jeff Sessions of being a “racist” at his hearing.
