Rev. Al Sharpton to Attend Sessions Hearing and Meet with Congressional Black Caucus, Schumer

 

Calling nominee Jeff Sessions unfit to the head the Justice Department, Rev. Sharpton will join other civil rights leaders to protest the hearings and demand that elected officials reject his nomination, as well as question them for not delaying the hearings. 

According to Sharpton: “A Sessions-led Justice Department will be a nightmare that the United States can’t wake up from and lead to an era of civil disobedience. This rushed hearing is an insult to the American people and an affront to democracy.”

Reverend Sharpton will also meet with the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to demand action against Sessions.
