The likely incoming attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions, is a fan of David Horowitz: a “most brilliant individual” in his estimate.

Sessions, who is reported to have claimed that the NAACP and ACLU were Communist-inspired — an ancient myth whose origins lie in the segregationist Massive Resistance campaign — would have every reason to sympathize with the red-baiting of Horowitz and his “Freedom Center.”

What Sessions particularly admired about Horowitz is his defection from “the unprincipled totalitarian radical left to a more traditional America person.” Thank God someone finally saw the principle in David Horowitz.
