Sen. John Kennedy tells those who hate police to 'call a crackhead' when they're in trouble



In a campaign ad, Republican Sen. John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, a lawmaker known for having a way with words, told people who hate the police to "call a crackhead" when they find themselves in trouble.

"Violent crime is surging in Louisiana. Woke leaders blame the police. I blame the criminals," Kennedy said in the video. "Look if you hate cops just because they're cops, the next time you get in trouble, call a crackhead."

\u201cI know the difference between criminals and their innocent victims.\u201d

Kennedy, who entered office in 2017, is currently running for reelection.

Gary Chambers, a Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Louisiana, said in a video that Kennedy's comments were "racist as hell," and tweeted that the senator is "a walking dog whistle."

\u201cI saw @SenJohnKennedy dropped a crime ad. He spends more time dropping one liners than actually doing his job. He\u2019s a walking dog whistle, and I won\u2019t let it slide. \n\nHelp me send him home. We can take out the \ud83d\uddd1\ufe0f Nov. 8th. Share and Donate for #MoreOfUs\u201d

Chambers could be seen smoking marijuana in one of his own campaign ads.

Kennedy declared in another ad that "Arlington National Cemetery contains 400,000 reasons why you should stand your ass up for the national anthem."

"For all those Washington insider elite bedwetters whose feelings I hurt, here's some free advice: Go buy yourself an emotional support pony, because I'm not gonna shut up. And one more thing, always be yourself, unless you suck," Kennedy said in another campaign ad.

In August, the Biden administration announced a plan to cancel massive amounts of federal student loan debt — last month during an appearance on Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Kennedy said that, "we already had a plan to repay student debt. It's called a job. And it was workin' just fine." The senator also said that "President Biden is inflation's best friend," and that "Inflation loves President Biden like the devil loves sin."

"Your aunt's Facebook page has more credibility with the American people than President Biden does when it comes to the economy," Kennedy said during the media appearance, adding that he believes "voters are gonna go medieval on him."

Sen. Kennedy says President Biden's 'poll numbers are going down like a fat guy on a seesaw'



Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said during an interview on Tuesday's episode of "Fox News Primetime" that President Joe Biden's "poll numbers are going down like a fat guy on a seesaw."

"I think it's fair to say that President Biden and his merry band of woke-aristas have broken a lotta plates in their first 10 months. That's why his poll numbers are going down like a fat guy on a seesaw. Everything from Afghanistan, to inflation, to the border crisis, to his handling of COVID," Kennedy said.

The Republican lawmaker has served as a senator from Louisiana since 2017.

"I think the president and his people just don't trust the American people to make their own decisions," Kennedy said. "President Biden and, and his woker friends think that they're smarter and more virtuous than the American people, that the American people can't manage their lives without these edicts from Washington."

President Biden's job approval rating is underwater in some polls, like The Economist/YouGov and Politico-Morning Consult, though other polls paint a less grim picture of public sentiment, like a CNN poll conducted by SSRS that indicated 50% approve and 49% disapprove of Biden's handling of his job.

Less than one year into a four-year term, the Biden administration has already faced heavy criticism on a multitude of fronts.

Former President Donald Trump issued a statement on Wednesday in which he asked if people miss him yet.

"COVID is raging out of control, our supply chains are crashing with little product in our stores, we were humiliated in Afghanistan, our Border is a complete disaster, gas prices and inflation are zooming upward—how's Biden doing? Do you miss me yet?" Trump asked.

Sen. Kennedy says President Biden 'oughta hide his head in a bag' over botched Afghanistan withdrawal



Sen. John Kennedy issued a video statement on Tuesday in which he blasted "stunning incompetence" as the U.S. seeks to pull out from Afghanistan.

"President Biden chose to withdraw from Afghanistan, but there's no reason it had to be so chaotic," he said.

The Republican lawmaker from Louisiana described it as the "biggest terrorist victory since 9/11" and said that "jihadists who wanna hurt this country and its people all over the world are reinvigorated today."

"This was humiliating. It was an embarrassment. The president oughta hide his head in a bag," Kennedy declared.

As the U.S. seeks to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban has been rapidly taking over the country.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Tuesday that a "fair amount" of the defense materials America gave Afghanistan have fallen into the Taliban's hands.

Kennedy is only one of the chorus of Republican voices decrying the president over the debacle unfolding in Afghanistan.

Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., said during an interview on Fox News that Biden "failed miserably" and "humiliated America."

"In just a few hours, literally, Biden destroyed the progress, the relationships, and everything we had done the last 20 years in Afghanistan," Haley said.

"Thousands of Americans are stranded in Afghanistan with terrorists hunting them down," Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York tweeted Tuesday. "President Biden & his top team are totally not up for this task & it's infuriating. I don't see how the President can remain in his position. This is historic, unforgivable incompetence."
