Jeff Sessions of Alabama was the first Republican senator to get behind the-then renegade candidate Trump. Now, he is President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general — and his hard-line stance on immigration and 30-year-old allegations of racism are sure to draw scrutiny in confirmation hearings.
Long before Trump was winning primaries, or picking up political endorsements, he had a conservative ally in the Deep South.
"We have a man here who really helped me," Trump said about Sessions while campaigning last year in Alabama. "He's the one person I sought his counsel, because he's been so spot on. He's so highly respected."
In a foreshadowing of the endorsement that would come later, Sessions joined Trump on stage in his hometown Mobile, donning a "Make America Great" baseball cap.
"Thank you for the work you've put into the immigration issue," Sessions told Trump and the crowd. "I'm really impressed with your plan."

Great pick.
ReplyDeleteI hope they put into place a reward program for citizens to help get illegals arrested. Turn in an illegal get $50. Time to get them gone!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, but how would you know they are an illegal?
