Not sure if he really said it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Hopefully they won't fuck with cannabis but you never know. Trump is going to owe evangelicals a big one after he goes back on his promise to remove the legal restrictions around the separation of church and state. Most far-right religious wackos do not approve of cannabis legalization.

It's a direct quote, but he claimed it was a 'joke'.

The man is a full fledged right wing bible thumping racist from Alabama who is big on the DEA, private prisons, the drug war, and is for stiffer sentences for all drug crimes, including marijuana. Why in the world would you even think he was close to being a Libertarian?
Most libertarians in my experience are just cheap asses that don't want to pay their taxes.

In 2009, Sessions himself told me that "When I got to Washington, there had been an orchestrated campaign to smear my record, and it was executed with great care. And I, frankly, was a babe in the woods and wasn't sufficiently prepared for it." For that reason, when Sessions got to the Senate he has always been more deferential toward nominations than most of his GOP colleagues. For instance, he was one of the only Republican senators to support Eric Holder's nomination for attorney general.

Sessions's actual track record certainly doesn't suggest he's a racist. Quite the opposite, in fact. 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 Hays was 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.

IT WAS A JOKE....

Kinda like around here. If a lib makes a joke it is a fucking joke. But let a conservative make a joke and the people here take it as gospel and follow the person around with it forever.

gotta love a good joke about a terrorist organization in your own country that lynches people because of their skin color.

and since we are on a pot forum, the part about his dealbreaker being cannabis usage should be especially funny.

i imagine that if the shoe were on the other foot, and obama appointed an AG who thought that shooting white people was funny unless you're drinking a coke zero while doing it, you'd rush to the defense of whoever said it.

seriously though, go away. you are a festering piece of shit and literally no one likes you.
