My father never ran for office or supported anybody for office, and was not engaged in that at all. But I think people throughout the area were just in a constant state of tension - I mean, adults.

More quotes by Jeff Sessions
[Donald] Trump is where the Republicans are, and if you're going to be a Republican leader you should be supportive of that.
Jeff Sessions
Kissinger-type foreign policy is clearly, in my view, the proper tilt for us in the future, and he [Donald Trump] gets it. And some of our members, I guess, have been so deeply committed to the [George W.] Bush agenda, the neo-conservative agenda, that it's harder for them to acknowledge that. But I acknowledge it.
Jeff Sessions
I concluded that the trade agreements weren't working as promised, and was depreciating the wages and the manufacturing base, and the jobs of Americans, and that both needed to change, and Donald Trump was out there. So I went to his rally.
Jeff Sessions
I guess maybe the only time I met George Wallace was when - at a boy scout meeting in Montgomery, and he met 10 or 15 of us from different areas. I'm not sure why I was there.
Jeff Sessions
I grew up, really, in the country.When I was a kid there were three country stores, a railroad depot, and a post office.
Jeff Sessions
I liked Donald's Trump speech on foreign policy. What he's showing is that his fundamental views are solid, and that there's an intellectual basis for this, an economic basis for what he's saying, and that can lead him to victory.
Jeff Sessions
[Donald] Trump is underestimated greatly in terms of his understanding and comprehension of the great issues facing America. He understands trade. He's got businesses all over the world. He understands currency and how manipulating currency can be damaging to America.
Jeff Sessions
Encouraging self-sufficiency must be a bedrock for our immigration policy, with the goal of reducing poverty, strengthening the family, and promoting our economic values. But Administration officials and their policies are working actively against this goal.
Jeff Sessions
My parents, both of them had teachers in their family and were pretty well read. So my father voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower.
Jeff Sessions
We were segregated throughout the community, and it was pretty brutal, actually. It didn't appear to be, on the surface.People got along and we had great relationships, but there was discrimination that impacted adversely the ability of the African-American community to progress. People did not - were in denial about that fact.
Jeff Sessions
We represent our constituents. And so they don't get to dictate policy.
Jeff Sessions
Marriage has been defined by every legislature that has ever sat in the United States from every State, now 50 States, the same way, but now we have unelected judges altering and changing that fundamental institution.
Jeff Sessions
Donald Trump can improve and get better as he goes along, and I think he will.
Jeff Sessions
We can never go back.
Jeff Sessions
To every American, he [Donald Trump] is saying to them, You elect me and we're going to fix the lawlessness at this border.
Jeff Sessions
[My father] was interested. He read the newspapers and read Time and U.S. News and World Report and people in stores would come along, you know, and they would talk politics.
Jeff Sessions
We're going to create factory jobs for recent immigrants, and Donald Trump is going to take care of them. That's why his numbers, even right now, in this negative period, are holding pretty strong, because people want a leader that's going to make this country great again and have a strong economy.
Jeff Sessions
Basically [I become a Republican], pretty early. I had an English teacher that got me to subscribe to the National Review.
Jeff Sessions
I just want you to know that as a southerner, who actually saw discrimination and have no doubt it existed in a systematic and powerful and negative way to the people - great millions of people in the South, particularly, of America - I know that was wrong. I know we need to do better.
Jeff Sessions
I am totally committed to maintaining the freedom and equality America has to provide to every citizen.
Jeff Sessions
