I want Jeff Session to elaborate on this:

“I think it is shocking that Democrats would treat [Soros] as a mainstream force of Democratic politics,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). “He has an agenda that transcends American interests.”

Is Sessions picking back up on Hastert’s implication that Soros is a drug dealer? Is he calling the world’s most generous and committed financier of democracy projects in post-Soviet states a Communist? Is he calling him a Nazi, a one-worlder, a fascist, a founding member of the Bilderberg Group, an Annunaki lizard from the fourth-dimension? What does “transcends American interests” even mean?

I’m giving Sessions’ office a call to find out. When they give me an answer, I’ll let you know.
