We’ve written plenty about Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy, because not only is he smart as a whip and an ace at standing up for conservative principles, but he’s also funny as heck. His one-liners are the stuff of legend—"With respect, go to Amazon and buy a spine online,” he told Joe Biden about the then-president’s weak support of Israel—and he’s always good for a salient quote.

But it was a fundraising email from the comedic senator that I received Thursday evening that cracked me up. Usually, fundraising emails are lame and uninteresting; for instance, California Gov. Gavin Newsom—who I am hereby re-naming “Governor Grim”—sent one out Thursday as well that said that those who voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill were “very small and pathetic people.”
How unifying and inspiring, Gavin.
He ought to take lessons from Kennedy, who wrote this about wild-eyed New York democrat socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani:
What is going on in New York?
Democrats just elected a theocratic communist in the NYC Mayoral Primary, and I've never seen such a wokester win an election in my lifetime.
I've had to deal with Chuck and AOC. But, while they've been a thorn in my side, this new guy is just plain old off his rocker.
Zohran Mamdani is as socialist and communist as it gets. He wants to turn New York City into a North Korean wasteland. He's like Karl Marx at a Drag Show…
Like “Karl Marx at a drag show.” I don’t think I’ll ever get that image out of my head.
The email continued, listing Zohran’s plethora of insane ideas:
"There must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country."
"Queer liberation means defund the police."
"Kick the fascist ICE out of New York City."

Kennedy continued on a more serious note:
He's [Mamdani] even said he wants to "Trump-proof" NYC and start up government-run grocery stores.
He's built a campaign based on hatred for one man – President Trump. I don't know what's more embarrassing… the fact that he ran a campaign like that or the fact that New Yorkers bought into it.
Then he brought reality home:
Folks, if we don't nip it in the bud now, these commies will spread socialism throughout the rest of America.
One thousand percent correct.
The thing about Kennedy is that not only is he funny, but he’s usually right on target. Mamdani is, as the senator pointed out, way, way out there:
Absolute Proof Zohran Mamdani Is a Communist Arises, and the Press Response Is Mind-Blowing
Keep it coming, Sen. Kennedy.
Donald Trump often cracks me up, and Kennedy is always good for a big grin. Question for the audience: When was the last time a Democrat made you laugh out loud with their humor (and not for their ridiculous antics)?
I honestly can't remember.
The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject their globalist agenda.
