Protestors Dressed as Hooded Klansmen Crash Jeff Sessions’ Confirmation Hearing: ‘GO JEFFIE GO!’

Moments ago in Capitol Hill, two protestors dressed as Klansman stood up to interrupt the proceedings into Donald Trump‘s pick for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

As soon as Sessions entered the chambers, the protestors could be seen standing up in the back of the room, immediately drawing media attention. The protestors, donned in white hooded robes, wore makeshift foam fingers fingers inscribed with the words, “GO JEFFIE BOY,” presumably in mock support for Sessions’ previous allegations of racial insensitivity. The protestors were promptly removed before the beginning of the hearing.

“Beauregard, thank you so much for being here for the people!” one of the men can be heard saying, addressing the potential Attorney General by his middle name (yes, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is his full name). “Wait a minute — you can’t arrest me, I’m white!” he continued. “White people don’t get arrested.”
