Confederates, slave owners and prominent members of the Ku Klux Klan have taken to Facebook to condemn Trump’s nomination of Jeff Sessions to the office of Attorney General.

Mr Sessions, who was nominated by Ronald Reagan to become a Federal Judge in the 1980’s but blocked by Republicans in the Senate because he’s unpalatably racist, has pissed off Confederate civil war veterans after saying a white lawyer in Alabama “was a disgrace” for defending African Americans in court rather than shooting him in the back.

The Ku Klux Klan are said to be incandescent after he accused them of being pot heads after saying that “the only thing wrong with the Ku Klux Klan is that they smoke weed”.

Slave owners are out for his blood after he merely called an African American lawyer “boy” in court rather than drag him into the street and hang him from a tree for learning to read.

Republicans are expected to ratify his confirmation as Attorney General, because they’re all pussies.
