Dem lawmaker says Sessions would drag the country back to dark times
2016-11-19
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] A Democratic politician is slamming the selection of Sen. Jeff Sessions as President-elect Trump's attorney general by going so far as to argue the Alabama senator would drag the United States back into the days of rampant racism and suppression of minorities.
So Little Louie is channeling Ted Kennedy...
In a blistering statement about a fellow politician, Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez seemed to use the Republican's full name -- Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III -- in an attempt to invoke Confederacy imagery.

"If you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet, gays were in the closet, immigrants colonists were invisible and women stayed in the kitchen, Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is your man," Gutierrez said.

PGT Beauregard was one of the first prominent Confederate generals in the Civil War. Beauregard was in charge of the defense of Charleston, S.C., and ordered the first shots of the war by firing on Fort Sumter in the city's harbor. He also helped design the Confederate battle flag.

#11  Mullah Richard,
There is a reason the district is shaped the way it is:
One arm is the Mexican neighborhoods. The other arm is the Puerto Rican neighborhoods. These areas are connected by a thin strand (mostly parts of Interstate 290 on-ramps etc.)
The two groups hate each other, which is why they live 4 miles apart.

Luis' job is to pretend his constituents are a big happy family and that all Latinos are down with transgender rights and other white trustafarian obsessions.

#10  I get the feeling he's one of those guys who has difficulty differentiating between legal and illegal immigration.

That's being polite - I think it's more like he doesn't give a rat's ass at all.

#5  It is difficult to listen to much of what Gutierrez says. I'm never quite sure which country he is speaking for and supporting.
