Congressman: Trumps Attorney General Pick Jeff Sessions Will Erase 50 Years Of ProgressRep. Luis Gutiérrez says no other senator has fought harder against the hopes and aspirations of Latinos, immigrants, and people of color.
11/18/2016 01:08 pm ET Kate Abbey-Lambertz National Reporter, The Huffington Post
Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) isnt mincing words in his condemnation of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), President-elect Donald Trumps pick for attorney general.
If you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet, gays were in the closet, immigrants were invisible and women stayed in the kitchen, Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is your man, Gutiérrez said in a statement Friday.
If the Senate confirmed Sessions nomination, he would be the nations top law enforcement official and have influence over immigration policy and policing. The early Trump backer has fought immigration reform and pushed to reduce legal immigration.

Wait till he has full power and his white nationalist KKKer's call the shots in America.
The home sitters and green voters will crawl across broken glass on their bellies to vote against Herr Drumpf's party in two years.
