More quotes by Jeff Sessions
I understand Donald Trump's goals. That's why I supported him for president. I share his beliefs that we've got to do more about crime, more about illegal immigration, more about gangs and violence and it's an honor and a pleasure to be able to lead that effort.
Jeff Sessions
Winston County was a pocket of Republicans. Even in the depression days, when Democrats dominated Alabama, Winston County remained a Republican county and all the elected officials were Republican.
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
Donald Trump is saying we're going to end the lawlessness at the border and we're going to push Mexico to do better. So there's been a reaction by the activist community to attack him.
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
I think Donald Trump is moving to - and will continue to move to the economic argument, as to why what he's doing is - represents a commitment to stand up to big business, to international corporations who favor more immigration and lower wages - that's what they favor - and a defense of the interest of the American people who go to work every day.
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
[Donald] Trump is going to appeal better to African Americans, Hispanics, and others than previous Republican candidates because he's talking about what they want: a fair chance to have a better life economically.
Jeff Sessions
[Donald] Trump has made this a big issue. He's leading in Ohio. He's leading, right up there in Pennsylvania, 1-point difference, and people are responding because the people's instincts are correct. This is what I believe.
Jeff Sessions
There was a resistance movement in the white community, and there was a determined civil rights movement by our neighbors and friends in the African-American community. They had right on their side. They conducted themselves in high standards, with courage and determination, and they were victorious. They overcame.
Jeff Sessions
How is it appropriate for a judge ever to say that they will choose to see some facts and not others?
Jeff Sessions
I would acknowledge that [Paul] Ryan has some really good ideas about things, and I think they'll get together, like taxes. Larry Kudlow, Stephen Moore, they've been supportive of Ryan's tax view and now they're very supportive of [Donald] Trump's. So I think that's got potential.
Jeff Sessions
People react not very wisely sometimes.
Jeff Sessions
More taxes, more regulation, more Washington domination, more debt. Those things are not the future for America. They will never work.
Jeff Sessions
I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the [Donald] Trump campaign.
Jeff Sessions
My father had a country store and then later, when I was 10 or 12, sold it and bought a farm equipment dealership in nearby Camden.
Jeff Sessions
Instead of engaging on the merits and saying, Well, we want an open border, you know, we really do, and that's all good for America because they know the people will reject that, they [the elites] attack Donald Trump as an extremist, which I think is unfair.
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
I understand the demands for justice and fairness made by the L.G.B.T. community.
Jeff Sessions
Thirty years people have been asking for a lawful system of immigration to end this lawlessness, and government on both parties have refused to give it to them.
