Donald Trump's transition team pushed back on concerns about the President-elect's newly-appointed national security advisor and attorney general nominee in a conference call with reporters on Friday morning.
Transition team spokesman Jason Miller and Sean Spicer, communications director for the Republican National Committee, dismissed questions about retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who have histories of making, respectively, anti-Muslim and racist comments.
Miller praised Sessions as "someone who's universally respected across party lines in the U.S. Senate."
He listed examples from Sessions' tenure as U.S. Attorney for the southern district of Alabama and his work at the Justice Department.
"When Senator Sessions was U.S. Attorney he filed a number of desegregation lawsuits in Alabama. He also voted in favor of the thirty-year extension of the Civil Rights Act," Miller said. "He also voted to confirm Attorney General Eric Holder, and even spearheaded the effort toward awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Rosa Parks, so we feel very confident that Senator Sessions has the background and the support to receive confirmation, even going back to the points that you brought up about years ago."
He also cited a comment from the late Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) calling Sessions "egalitarian."
A Republican-controlled Senate rejected Sessions' nomination to a federal judgeship in 1986 after several U.S. attorneys testified that was hostile to civil rights cases, made racist comments and joked about the Ku Klux Klan being "OK." A black lawyer testified that Sessions called him "boy" and warned him to "be careful what you say to white folks."
NAACP Condemns Trump's Choice Of Jeff Sessions For Attorney General
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People condemned President-elect Donald Trump’s planned nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as attorney general.
“Sen. Sessions as AG is deeply troubling, and supports an old, ugly history where Civil Rights were not regarded as core American values,” the group tweeted Friday morning, not long after the Trump transition team confirmed the Sessions selection.
Sessions was nominated for a federal judgeship in 1986 but was not confirmed after attention turned to racist comments Sessions allegedly made and a poor record on civil rights as a U.S. attorney in Alabama. He also reportedly called the NAACP “communist-inspired” and “un-American,” according to the Associated Press.
"Mr. Sessions is a throwback to a shameful era, which I know both black and white Americans thought was in our past," Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said at the time. "It is inconceivable to me that a person of this attitude is qualified to be a U.S. attorney, let alone a U.S. federal judge."
During the 1986 hearing, former assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Figures said Sessions had called him “boy” and told him to be careful about what he said around “white folks.”
Figures also said that Sessions said he thought the Ku Klux Klan was “OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana."
Sessions called his comment about the Klan “a silly comment, I guess you might say, that I made.”

So don't cry now you had eight years to get him to pass bills that would benefit black people but as usual you went right to the back of the bus and let "all of America" (which apparently doesn't include black people) get the good seats
