African Americans Praise Sessions at Hearing; ‘Fought for People Regardless of the Color of Their Skin’
(CNSNews.com) – Witnesses at the Wednesday confirmation hearing for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to be the next U.S. attorney general praised the senator as a man who has helped people regardless of their race.
“He is a good Christian man, and a good family man, a man who has dedicated his public life to service and fought for the disenfranchised, he accomplished it,” William Smith, the first African-American counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee Administrative Oversight and the Courts Subcommittee who was hired by Sessions, said at the hearing.
“He fought for civil rights and against the Ku Klux Klan and fought for people regardless of the color of their skin, and that’s the way it should be,” said Smith.
