Mass protests follow Trump’s firing of Sessions; demand hands off Mueller!

 

November 8, 2018 1:42 PM CST By Mark Gruenberg

 

 

 

 

Unhinged at his long press conference yesterday, Trump claimed victory in the elections, called out Republicans for not accepting his "embrace" and claiming that was the reason for their defeat, called an African American reporter a racist, and had a White House intern try to wrestle a mic out of the CNN reporter's hands before having him escorted off the White House Grounds and stripping him of his press credentials. After the wild press conference he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions for not stopping the Mueller investigation of his (Trump's) own criminal behavior. | Evan Vucci/AP
