First prominent Republican politician to endorse Trump is arguably the most racist


Last week, Donald Trump spoke to a large crowd in Mobile, Alabama, at a rally that featured Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL). At the rally, Sessions became the first member of Congress to endorse Trump.

The endorsement was fitting, because Sessions has been known as one of Congress’ biggest bigots. Don Siegelman, the former Democratic Party governor of Alabama, wrote a short letter about how the endorsement is apropos:

Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump for President in Mobile Alabama at the exceptionally large Trump rally.

Alabama’s junior U.S. Senator, Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions III, says “I used to think the Ku Klux Klan was a pretty good group of guys, until I learned they smoked pot.” U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy made Sessions confess to having said this during Sessions’ would be confirmation hearing for a U.S. District Court judgeship, for which he was nominated by President Reagan.

As the U .S. Attorney, Sessions, in order to suppress the black vote, sent the FBI out in Alabama’s “Black Belt” to round up black political activists, have them photographed and finger printed, and told that the FBI would be watching what they did in the upcoming general election. Sessions was challenging a Democratic incumbent for state attorney general, and the Democrat was expected to get a landslide of black votes.

1. He technically did not endorse Trump, but it should be no surprise that white supremacists gravitate

toward Trump. His campaign is based on nativist ideas.

I do not know why anybody should be surprised. The problem is that other candidates seem more intent to get those voters than to get more mainstream voters interested in the primaries. But we've may have reached the point where there are no mainstream voters to be mobilized.

2. He was also endorsed by the American Nazi Party and David Dukes,

Is this a pattern we're seeing?
I'm waiting for the George Zimmerman endorsement now
