He just reiterated it. He didn't chant it at all.

lmao I will remember this when you're whining when he passes some anti-trans regulation and you suddenly care about things such as rule of law and equality and not being cruel.

I will play it as I see it. The guy didn't chant. He listened and repeated it as if to say "Wait, are you saying XXXXXX?"

He didn't chant along. He said it in a questioning way, then went on about how he heard it on the campaign. I am a harsh critic of Trump on twitter, but I tell you that this is grasping for straws in a straw factory.

Calling bullshit on something isn't the same as approving of it. What kind of stupid logic is this.

"Oh you aren't jumping on the hate train, you're supposed to!!!!"

Context matters. My response was based on Sayoria's posting history as well.

At least he's smart enough to know how stupid that was getting considering what's going on in Trumpworld.

Yeah, I'll walk this one back. My bad. I'm just sooooooooo fucking sick of Hillary still being a go-to subject matter and I'm more baffled by the chant itself than Sessions' involvement.

And I do think it's ridiculous that he just laughed along like "haha yeah that's great" but whatever

Imagine chanting lock her up while being a supporter of an administration with 5 guilty pleas (so far).

Conservatism is a mental disorder.

Well he didn't exactly refute it. Dont walk it back too much.

Context:

Sessions was addressing a conservative group's high school leadership summit in Washington, where he promoted free speech and conservative principles.

Sessions criticized universities for "coddling our young people" and "actively preventing them from scrutinizing the validity of their beliefs."

"After the 2016 election, for example, they held a 'cry-in' at Cornell. I hope they had plenty of tissues for 'em to cry on," he said. "They had therapy dogs at the University of Kansas. Play-Doh and coloring books at the University of Michigan for heaven's sakes. You know, give me a break. Students at Tufts were encouraged to 'draw about their feelings.'"

"Well I can tell this group isn't going to have to have Play-Doh when you get attacked in college and you get involved in a debate," Sessions told the crowd attending Turning Point USA's High School Leadership Summit at George Washington University. "I like this bunch, I gotta tell you. You're not going to be backing down. Go get 'em. Go get 'em."

Then chants of "Lock her up" broke out.


What he's saying is abrasive, rude and petty but he wasn't actively chanting it or anything like that, it was about free speech and "making america's teens tough again"
