Louisiana Democrat and The chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus slammed Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) spoke at the end of the hearing to testify against U.S. attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions.

He had some strong words saying that he didn’t mind being last but that it was not acceptable to put a living legend like John Lewis last! he said:

“To have a senator, a House member and a living civil rights legend testify at the end of all of this is the equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus,”

“It is a petty strategy,”

“I don’t mind being last. But to have a living legend like John Lewis handled in such a fashion is beyond the pale, and the message sent by this process is duly noted by me and the 49 members of the CBC and the 78 million Americans we represent and the over 17 [million] African-Americans we represent.”
