Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL)

If you are wondering why it seems Sen. Jeff Sessions can be confirmed by the Senate as the nation's next attorney general despite previously being rejected as a judge for racist statements and for a lifetime of being on the wrong side of American civil rights battles, it is the Republican Party is more eager to embrace racism now than it was during the 1980s.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said accusations of racism against Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, stem from Democrats’ ongoing “war on whites.” “It’s really about political power and racial division and what I refer to, on occasion, as the ‘war on whites,’” he said on WBHP 800 Alabama radio, as first reported by CNN Wednesday. "And the Democrats are not shy about lying in order to achieve their political goals.”

You may recognize this batshit insane "war on whites" rhetoric from Rep. Brooks as one of the defining calls of the modern white nationalist movement, self-dubbed the "alt-right." They believe there is a "war on whites," and all the Americans who are not white are getting free stuff and free opportunities that White Folks Today aren't getting and that, therefore, we need another good solid round of putting white people in charge again so that non-white people can be put back in their place.

Rep. Mo Brooks is repeating this notion of minorities waging a "war on whites" on a radio show because, well, you can draw your own conclusions about that.
