Watch: 'I Thought I Saw His White Hood Showing' – People Are Calling BS on Jeff Sessions's Claims He Isn't a Racist
And they applauded this senator for calling him out with the receipts to back it up.
Today marked the first day of confirmation hearings for Donald Trump's Attorney General Nominee Jeff Sessions
His initial entrance into the hearing was met by many protesters
During the hearing, Senators questioned Sessions on his past and if he is fit to serve as head of the Justice Department
In his opening remarks, Sessions claimed all allegations of racism were completely false – and twitter yelled, 'you lie!'
Although the senators are meant to comb through Sessions's past to find discrepancies, many of them are appearing to take a light approach
However, Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota came through with a clutch cross examination of Sessions's past with civil rights
And people on Twitter bowed down
If Sessions is confirmed, many expect more protests to occur
