Culture writer for MTV News Ira Madison III attacked Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and his Asian-American granddaughter as a “prop” to distract from his “racism.”
“Sessions, sir, kindly return this Asian baby to the Toys “R” Us you stole her from,” Madison tweeted.

Why is she a prop? Sessions argued for policy that in the 1880s was used to discriminate against Asian Americans https://t.co/sZitqzLBS4— Ira Madison III (@ira) January 10, 2017
I often tell jokes, but seeing as bringing up Sessions' history of racial hatred of Asians is seen as an attack on his grandchild, I deleted
Madison was not alone; though he received the biggest backlash for his joke, a number of left-wing pundits and authors made similar cracks — presumably to demonstrate how anti-racist they are.
Oh, I get it. Jeff Sessions has half-Asian grandbabies. CONFIRMED. Pack it up, guys. twitter.com/iDXR/status/81…
"Senator Sessions, what about that time you prosecuted activists who were trying to register black voters..."
Sessions: "Look! A Baby!" twitter.com/domeniconpr/st…
Sessions has a super cute baby in his lap – hoping we'll forget that he's accused of being a racist? #SenateHearings— Mythili Sampathkumar (@MythiliSk) January 10, 2017
Oh, not just children as props, @SenatorSessions, but also Asian people. Very strategic. Guess what? You're still a LIFELONG RACIST.
