Warren demands that Trump rescind Sessions pick

Elizabeth Warren on Friday urged President-elect Donald Trump to rescind his nomination of Jeff Sessions as attorney general, arguing that allowing the Alabama senator to lead the Justice Department would be a “compromise with racism” and a “negotiation with hate.”

Trump on Friday morning announced the latest appointments to his upcoming administration, tapping Sessions as attorney general, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as a national security adviser and Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo as CIA director.

“Instead of embracing the bigotry that fueled his campaign rallies, I urge President-elect Trump to reverse his apparent decision to nominate Senator Sessions to be Attorney General of the United States,” Warren (D-Mass.) said in a statement. “If he refuses, then it will fall to the Senate to exercise fundamental moral leadership for our nation and all of its people.”

Sessions would have to be confirmed in the Senate before he could serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official, though it appears he has enough Republican support to sail through.

1. Finally!

Someone with the ability to "do something" about this cabinet of deplorables is willing to step up and to oppose them.

Go Sen. Warren!!!

Too bad she appears to be the only one.

3. I agree it is good, and important, but will that stop them?

5. Probably not, but it's still the principle,

and that's really important here. We need to fight back against the racists. If not now, when?

8. Warren is our best Democrat.

Sessions is truly creepy. The stories out of his judgeship hearings are stunning, like his personal joke that he liked the KKK until he found out they smoked marijuana (ha ... hr-WHAT).

9. Go, Elizabeth!

And I want to see ALL of the fucking Democrats behind her.
