A woman was removed from Jeff Sessions’ Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for literally laughing out loud at Senate Republican attempts to whitewash their colleague’s anti-civil rights record.
While Sen. Richard Shelby was heaping praise on his fellow Senator from Alabama, he said that Sessions has a record of treating everyone equally.

Journalists reported that the woman was removed for laughing too loud:
The nation is supposed to keep a straight face while Senate Republicans push a confirmation hearing for a man who has not been properly vetted, refused to comply with the law by completing his disclosure forms, and has an anti-civil rights record.
Sessions voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, voted for a constitution ban on same-sex marriage, voted against expanding hate crimes legislation to cover sexual orientation. Sessions once called a black attorney “boy,” and has described the Civil Rights Act as “intrusive.”
This is not the record of a man who believes in equal and fair treatment under the law. However, don’t you dare laugh at Republican propaganda during a confirmation hearing, or security will toss you out.
Reality has no home with the Republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
