Rep. Brooks: Dems’ ‘War On Whites’ Behind Some Criticism Of Sessions
Chris Massie, CNN, January 11, 2017
Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks said in a radio interview on Tuesday that criticism of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who is Donald Trump’s pick to be attorney general, is part of an ongoing “war on whites” by Democrats.
“It’s really about political power and racial division and what I’ve referred to on occasion as the ‘war on whites.’ They are trying to motivate the African-American vote to vote-bloc for Democrats by using every ‘Republican is a racist’ tool that they can envision,” the Republican congressman said on “The Morning Show With Toni & Gary” on WBHP 800 Alabama radio. “Even if they have to lie about it.”
Brooks was responding to a question about criticism of Sessions’ record on civil rights, which has come under renewed scrutiny as he seeks confirmation to head the Justice Department.

Brooks previously made headlines in August 2014 by saying that Democrats were “waging a war on whites” to AL.com and to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham.
