Sessions has held at least two fundraisers at adult-themed clubs and made no apologies.
Pete Sessions has never hesitated to spout moral platitudes when it serves his political purposes (Source: Family Research Council, 2008 “True Blue Award Winner”) He also doesn’t mind stepping off his moral high horse to raise money using a sexually charged atmosphere featuring near-naked women as a lure for political money.
