Sessions, a senator for 20 years, former Alabama attorney general, and
United States attorney for the Southern District of Alabama during the
Reagan administration, would seem to be the perfect nominee. But Sessions is
also a vocal opponent of amnesty for illegal immigrants, a position that is
anathema to the progressive movement.
Sessions' opponents immediately raised the specter of racism to oppose him,
and the press played along. Chris Cuomo asked Kellyanne Conway on CNN's "New
Day" whether Sessions was a racist. Others were less circumspect. Salon
referred to Sessions and Trump as "two peas in a racist pod," while Slate
lamented that "Jeff Sessions' racism sadly doesn't matter." Sen. Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts called stopping Sessions' nomination "a moral
question."
One might expect that those leveling these charges against a distinguished
US senator would have powerful evidence. But you'd be wrong. Instead,
Sessions' name has been dragged through the mud on the basis of 30-year-old
accusations of racism made after his 1986 nomination for a federal district
judgeship. These charges consisted of largely unsubstantiated, half-
remembered statements from private conversations. DOJ lawyers, including one
of the witnesses whose statements were used against Sessions, testified
that Sessions was not only not a racist, but had doggedly pursued civil
rights cases even when they were unpopular.

Klan leader during his time as Alabama attorney general. Never mind that
Sessions filled perhaps the most important position in his office, chief
counsel to the Senate Judiciary, with an African-American lawyer who worked
with him for nearly a decade. Never mind that Sessions voted to confirm Eric
Holder, spearheaded an effort to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Rosa
Parks, and joined civil rights leaders in Selma to honor the 50th
anniversary of Bloody Sunday."
