Mediaite reports:
Texas Congressman Pete Sessions (R) appeared on a far-right podcast where he embraced the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.
Sessions was speaking with Stew Peters, a right-wing shock jock who has been de-platformed by Spotify and Apple after pushing coronavirus conspiracy theories, calling for Dr. Anthony Fauci’s execution, and participating in the recent white nationalist conference led by Nick Fuentes.
The replacement theory is a conspiracy espoused by white nationalists who claim Democrats want to fundamentally transform American by “replacing” the white population through a combination of immigration and asymmetric birthrates.
Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch:
GOP Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas appeared Monday on”The Stew Peters Show,” where he agreed with Peters’ assertion that the “Democrat Party embraces racism against white people.”
Sessions went on to complain about an unnamed “white student” who is captain of the football team and “scored a perfect score of 36 on his SAT” and has been deferred by every Ivy League school to which he has applied.
“He’s being deferred by every single one of these schools.” Sessions griped. “And it makes you wonder whether education has caught on also on being woke.”
Sessions memorably appeared on JMG in 2016 when he claimed that Orlando’s Pulse nightclub wasn’t really a gay venue because “it was mostly Latinos” who were murdered. Watch the clip.
