Rep. Ted Lieu shreds illegitimate Jeff Sessions over threat to cut funds for sanctuary cities

California Congressman Ted Lieu (D) went after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter on Monday afternoon, reminding everyone of Sessions’ lies during his Senate confirmation hearings.

Lieu went into attack mode on Monday after Sessions threatened to go after sanctuary cities during the daily White House press briefing. He said the Justice Department would deny funding to cities unless they prove they aren’t serving as immigrant sanctuaries.

“Dear States: I’m thinking that since it’s OK for AG Sessions to lie under oath to Congress, then it’s OK for you to lie to him on your forms,” Lieu wrote in a tweet.




Lieu was referring to Sessions’ claims that he didn’t know whether Trump campaign members had met with Russian officials. Sessions himself used campaign money for his trip to the RNC where he met with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak in an official capacity.
