I'm not sure why people are surprised by this??
Tuesday night @ the Summit on Religious Liberty in California, Jeff Session entertained members of the Alliance Defending Freedom @ an event that was conveniently closed off to reporters. Also, conveniently enough, the Department of Justice refuses to reveal what Sessions had to say. According to a spokesperson for the group, they're "working through channels" to reveal what Sessions said to the group. Fun fact: The Southern Poverty Law Center deemed the Alliance Defending Freedom an "anti-LGBT hate group" in 2016. The Alliance Defending Freedom group was founded in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1994, and according to the Southern Poverty Law Center the group "specializes in supporting the recriminalization of homosexuality abroad, ending same-sex marriage and generally making life as difficult as possible for LGBT communities in the US and internationally." The reactions of these 2 people are the only things that need to be said about this meeting. "How can we trust the nation's top law enforcement officer will protect all Americans when he's willing to meet behind closed doors with a group that supports criminalizing homosexuality and marginalizing LGBT people around the world? If Attorney General Jeff Sessions doesn't condone such beliefs, he should immediately make his remarks to the group public and be prepared to defend them. The LGBT community...as well as all Americans...needs to know if he is capable of upholding our country's fundamental promise of equal protection under the law."--David Dinielli, deputy legal director for the Southern Poverty Law Center's LGBT Rights Project "You can judge a person by the company they keep, and tonight Attorney General Jeff Sessions is choosing to spend his time speaking in front of one of the country's leading anti LGBTQ hate groups. The Alliance Defending Freedom actively helped draft discriminatory legislation, worked to preserve laws criminalizing same sex relations and attacked the separation of church and state. ADF has been previously designated a hate group, and Sessions' appearance at this event, as the top law enforcement official in the country, brings in to question whether the attorney general intends to protect all Americans."--Democratic National Committee spokesman Joel Kasnetz Brief thought: The man is a known and documented racist, are we really supposed to be surprised that he spoke @ a group that is anti LGBTQ? Look @ who his boss is and the man that he continuously defends! NOBODY should be surprised by this. Yes I absolutely want to know what he said, but I already know that when what he said is released, it's going to be doctored and falsified, so sorry to disappoint, we're never really going to know what he said unless some sort of video is released.
