ATTORNEY GENERAL/LGBTQ/TRUMP PEOPLE/JEFF SESSIONS: “Democrats and LGBT groups assailed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for an off-camera, closed-door speech Tuesday [7-11-17] to an organization designated as a ‘hate group’ by a prominent civil rights watchdog.
As announced on his public schedule, Sessions addressed a crowd at the Alliance Defending Freedom’s Summit on Religious Liberty in Orange County, California.
As the news of the scheduled speech traveled, nonprofit advocacy groups and Democrats issued statements asking why the head of the U.S. Justice Department was speaking at a summit put on by the ADF, designated a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2016…
NBC News asked the Justice Department for comment on the public outcry but did not receive a response. An additional request for comment sent to Alliance Defending Freedom did not receive a reply.”
