I’d like to think he meant to say “I’m an ignorant jackass whenever I open my mouth”.

Jefferson (Davis) Beauregard Sessions, what can you say about a guy whose very name is racist?

Sessions better not piss off Prof. Gates, cause Gates will find every dark skinned brother that is descended from a Sessions’ slave owning forefather.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. could take Jeff Sessions apart, piece by piece, and then do the same to his ancestors.

He better get out in front of this, calling the cop that busted up Gates on his own front porch a criminal ain’t gonna play in AL.

In addition to getting the facts wrong, listen to how he speaks about it, like this happened 4 hours ago. This was 11 fucking years ago and this guy talks about it as if anyone gives a flying shit. Completely ridiculous.

Was it Professor Gates or Jeff who lied to Congress that time? My memory isn’t what it was.

The psychic injury of a black man being elected as President is fresh for him and all the other racist snowflakes. Every time they close their eyes at night all they see is Obama.

Talk about a man out-of-time. Sessions could not find the 21st century if it were slathered in bacon grease and waved the rebel flag.

I am reminded of a line from To Kill A Mockingbird:

‘Atticus said naming people after Confederate generals made slow steady drinkers.’ .

Was Sessions speaking after lunch?
