(I more question his judgment for supporting Holder because Holder is a racist and an a$$hole than I worry about Sessions being a racist).

6. Accusations of racism against Sessions are absurd. When President Ronald Reagan nominated Sessions, who at the time was a U.S. attorney, to a federal judge, the Democrats smeared Sessions with accusations of racism, which included:

Calling a black attorney "boy."
Quipping about the Ku Klux Klan: "I used to think they were OK, but they are pot smokers."
Joking that a white attorney was "a traitor to his race" because he was collaborating with civil rights groups.
Calling the NAACP and ACLU "un-American."
Prosecuting a civil rights organization for voter fraud.
The last point isn't racist at all. The jokes, as Ben Shapiro has written, were made "in front of the black lawyer; even the lawyer accusing Sessions of racism acknowledged that Sessions was joking." Clearly Sessions meant them as harmless jokes. Sessions has also denied calling the lawyer "boy." The civil rights group Sessions prosecuted has faced accusations of voter fraud for many years.

Sessions' record on race actually shows that he has consistently fought against racism, as The Weekly Standard's Mark Hemingway writes:

As a U.S. Attorney he filed several cases to desegregate schools in Alabama. And he also prosecuted the head of the state Klan, Henry Francis Hays, for abducting and killing Michael Donald, a black teenager selected at random. Sessions insisted on the death penalty for Hays. When he was later elected the state Attorney General, Sessions followed through and made sure the Hays executed. The successful prosecution of Hays also led to a $7 million civil judgment against the Klan, effectively breaking the back of the KKK in Alabama.
