To Jeff Sessions, how does it feel to be dragged humiliated? Now you know how the African Americans you disrespected feel<\/p>\n

It was reported Thursday by the The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0that Sessions felt “humiliated” after Trump accused him of “disloyalty” because he recused himself from the Justice Department’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.<\/p>\n

Trump “unleashed a string of insults” at Sessions, who would later go on to say Trump’s reprimanding was the most humiliating event he experienced as a public servant, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

On a podcast in May, Waters referred to Sessions<\/a> as “very dangerous,” before adding, “I think he\u2019s a racist, and I think that he absolutely believes that it’s his job to keep minorities in their place.”<\/p>\n

Sessions reportedly gave his resignation letter to Trump later that day, which the president rejected.<\/p>\n
