Maxine Waters on A.G. Sessions: ‘First of All He’s a Racist’

EXCERPT:

HOST: “Can you talk a little bit about, number one, some of the most egregious areas that Sessions is attacking and pragmatically, how do we respond to it?”
WATERS: “Well, you’re absolutely correct. Let me first of all thank you for being who you are, started as a very young person, taking the initiative, knowing that you had power and you have work it tremendously and I appreciate you. Please give Jeff a big round of applause. Thank you. (Applause) You're absolutely right about Jeff Sessions. First of all he’s a racist. He’s a throwback. He has defined himself throughout his career. And so the president of United States appointed him to one of the most important offices in all of government to become the attorney general, with the power that he holds to do the damage that he set out to do."
