Cold Hearted Senator doesn’t like ‘histrionics’ of 12 year old boy crying because his mom’s testifying that she’s going to be deported
This is Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions.
I’ll recap the important moments here:
Shirley Tan, in a 23 year relationship, has two twin 12 year old boys, cares for her aging mother in law, is active in her local church. A stand-up gal. But she’s being deported back to the Phillipines, even though a man who beat her and murdered her mother and sister is out free from jail. She has no protection here, because she can’t marry her partner of 23 years. So she’s testifying for a bill that would change that.
Leahy, running the testimony, has compassion for her crying son.
Jackie Speier has compassion for the crying boy.
Leahy offers the crying son a private room within which to recover himself, and mentions his own 12 year old grandson.
Leahy tells her crying son that his mother is a very brave woman and he should be proud of her.
Sessions apparently leaned over to an aide and said, ‘enough with the histrionics’, because the sight of a 12 year old boy about to be ripped from his mother’s side, perhaps never to see her again, is an annoyance.
I’d bet you ANYTHING that Sessions wasn’t home raising his own kids. Anyone that looks at a crying child and says ‘histrionics’ clearly has no empathy.
Oh, even better, here’s Sessions admitting it:
Q: When you hear President Obama talk about nominating someone to the court who has empathy and real-world experience, do you understand what he means?
Sessions: I don’t know what he means. And it’s dangerous, because I don’t know what empathy means.
No, we don’t, Bill. We see White Men like Sessions as the problem, who haven’t actively raised their own kids, don’t have empathy for their fellow citizens and are only where they are in government because of back-scratching and white priviledge…
Sessions should personally ensure Ms. Tan’s safety by allowing her to stay in the US to raise her US citizen sons…
