As Twitchy told you, Jeff Sessions called the sheriff’s office “a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement.” Which, in the eyes of scholars like Alyssa Milano and Tariq Nasheed, is proof-positive of Sessions’ white supremacist ideology.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell is a consummate professional, though, so she’s a little more subtle in her implications:

No, see, you know what’s deplorable? Disgraceful? That media hacks like Andrea Mitchell think they can push a blatantly false narrative and not get called out on it.
I don't know, why don't you try looking it up instead of making some sort of vague insinuation? #fakenews

Our entire justice and legal system is derived from the English, thank God.
Rampant ignorance on display here.
