Washington (CNN)Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the top law enforcement officer in the country, repeated the words "lock her up" Tuesday that were being chanted, a rallying cry from Donald Trump campaign events calling to jail Hillary Clinton, and then laughed.
Sessions was addressing a conservative group's high school leadership summit in Washington, where he promoted free speech and conservative principles.

Sessions criticized universities for "coddling our young people" and "actively preventing them from scrutinizing the validity of their beliefs."
......................................
"Well I can tell this group isn't going to have to have Play-Doh when you get attacked in college and you get involved in a debate," Sessions told the crowd attending Turning Point USA's High School Leadership Summit at George Washington University. "I like this bunch, I gotta tell you. You're not going to be backing down. Go get 'em. Go get 'em."

Then chants of "Lock her up" broke out.

"Lock her up," Sessions said, chuckling at the brief interruption from the audience as the chant then grew louder............................................

At any other point in recent history, this would have resulted in the Attorney General being censured or forced to resign.

Satanic Worshipers and the Maga Hat People are the same group.
They Don't understand what They Worship.
But they like the Attitude and the warm feeling they get for being hateful.
When they Actually Realize WTF is going on.
They won't be able to reject them.
because they are too far in.
The shame Makes them try to turn everyone else who knew it bullshit.
to make them feel good about their bad decision.
Its like a bad 60's movie.
They need an intervention.
They need deprogramming.
And then and only then released into the general public.
