From the January 9 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): When I tell you who is been picked to lead the Democratic attack on Senator Sessions, who's probably one of the most decent men in Washington with a track record second to none on civil rights, it won't surprise you because it's the same old book the Democrats use all the time. And they want to smear and besmirch and slander Jeff Sessions.
