(New York, NY) February 28th, 2016 – Today Donald J. Trump
received the
endorsement of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Senator Sessions is
widely recognized as the nation's most highly respected official
on the
issue of illegal immigration.
Mr. Trump stated, “I am deeply honored to have the endorsement of
Senator Jeff Sessions, leader of congressional conservatives. He has
been called the Senate's indispensable man and the gold standard. He
led the fight against the Gang of Eight, against Obama's trade deal,
against Obama's judges, and for American sovereignty. He has stood up
to special interests as few have. There is no more respected man in
Congress and we are closely aligned on many issues, including trade and
illegal immigration, and I am proud to consider Jeff Sessions an
advisor, friend and ally.”
Mr. Trump and Senator Sessions surprised the massive crowd at the
frontrunner’s Alabama rally just days before Super Tuesday Primary
contest.
Senator Sessions added, “I am thrilled today to offer my
endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President. This election is our last
chance to save U.S. sovereignty and to end the domination of the
political establishment over the interests of working Americans. Trump
alone has rejected the donor class, defending America’s jobs and wages
from open borders, uncontrolled immigration and the massive
Trans-Pacific Partnership that will cede U.S. authority to foreign
powers. Trump’s trade and immigration plans will revitalize our
shrinking middle class, keeping jobs and wealth and income inside the
United States of America. Trump understands that a nation must always
place the interests of its own people first.”
Senator Sessions continued, “We are nearing fast the point of no
return. The people are hurting. Their wages are declining. Their
schools are overburdened. Their hospitals are stretched past the
breaking point. Crime is up, and community confidence is down.
Americans of all backgrounds and ethnicities, immigrant and US-born,
are crying out for leadership that puts their needs first, that takes
care of those living and dreaming here today, leadership that
understands that there is no constituency other than the American
constituency. Mr. Trump is that leader.
We are witnessing an incredible movement, arising from the people.
The events of history have aligned to give the people this fleeting
chance to bust up the oligarchy – to take back control from the
‘Masters of the Universe’ return it to the good and decent and
patriotic citizens of the United States.”
