Celebrities had a meltdown Wednesday night after Jeff Sessions’ confirmation as the next attorney general.
Performers like Sophia Bush, Sandra Bernhard, Chris Evans and others in Hollywood reacted via Twitter with “disgrace” and anger after the Senate voted 52-47 to confirm Sessions’ appointment.
“Well, Sessions is confirmed, ya filthy animals. See you all in the next rung of hell,” Grace Parra tweeted.

In Black History Month, GOP confirms AG who was deemed 'too racist' to be a federal judge. That about sums up this entire shitshow.
