Sessions spars with DOJ interns over marijuana, police violence in newly leaked video

Share:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions got into a heated exchange with Justice Department interns this summer over marijuana and police brutality, according to new video of the private event.

During a video of the “Summer Intern Lecture Series” obtained by ABC News and published on Thursday, an unnamed college intern asked Sessions why the Justice Department has harsher policies for marijuana and “pretty lax” policies for gun control when guns kill more people than marijuana.

Sessions told the woman she was comparing apples and oranges.

“The Second Amendment, you’re aware of that, guarantees the right of the American people to keep and bear arms and I intend to defend that Second Amendment,” he said. “It’s as valid as the First Amendment.”

He then contested claims that marijuana is harmless.
