Racist Alabama Senator Who's Named After Two Confederate Generals And Is Opposed To Voting Rights Insists He's Not A Racist

The pick for U.S. Attorney General, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, has a long history of opposing voting rights, joking about the KKK, and making racial slurs.  These are among the reasons he was once denied a federal judgeship.  But of course, good ol' Jeff says he's not a racist, no sir:

"These are damnably false accusations.  I did not harbor race-based animosities.  I did not."

That's a mighty fine denial, Jeffy . . . despite the evidence to the contrary.

Have you ever met a racist who honestly acknowledged his racism?  Me either.
