David Clarke's Trump audition reaches epic, comic level

Fox Network 'Hey-look-me-over' cheer-leading appeal to President-elect Donald Trump for a punched ticket out of town and away from his dead-body stained jail has hit a new high low:

Bice: Clarke defends Sessions against racism charges

I'm tired of this race card thing," Clarke, who is black, said of the critics of the white AG nominee on Fox Business News. "The left is out of legitimate excuses for wanting some kind of dialogue about somebody...It's an automatic default from the left to call somebody a racist."

Should Clarke leave the fact-free spin-zone, he might consult the record from someone who made it, under oath:

The comments I heard him make are three decades old, but his consistent policy positions over the years speak volumes. He falsely charged three African American civil rights activists in Alabama, including a longtime adviser to Martin Luther King Jr., with 29 counts of mail fraud, altering absentee ballots and attempting to vote multiple times. 

The evidence showed that these activists were simply helping elderly African American voters complete mail-in ballots. All were acquitted of every charge.

In the decades since, Sessions has promoted the myth of voter-impersonation fraud, despite overwhelming evidence that it is exceedingly rare. 

At the same time, he has ignored the racial impact of voting restrictions, which have a well-documented negative effect on minority communities, the impoverished and the elderly. He has disagreed that people are sometimes denied the right to vote, and in the wake of Shelby County v. Holder, which struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, he proclaimed victory. 

Sessions asserted that “Shelby County has never had a history of denying voters” — willfully discounting the Alabama county’s recent history of discriminatory voting changes.
