John Kennedy Has the Perfect Response to John Thune and Far Left Dems

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) was in fine form during an appearance on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow.

He went off on the subject of the SAVE America Act and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and said he was prepared to stay until they got it done. He said if he were in charge, he would have had it on for a reconciliation vote.

🔥 WOW! Sen. John Kennedy is GOING OFF, saying John Thune should force a reconciliation bill with SAVE America to the floor immediately with NO VACATIONS

Kennedy said he didn't know when they were going to be holding a vote, but that it needed to get done, he insisted.

"I am prepared to stay here as long as it takes. I've been to a squillion meetings to talk about this stuff that could've been an email! I'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than go to another meeting! It's time to vote!" he declared.

Now, that's funny. But he's also making the point that it needs to get done. Enough of this back and forth. No colonoscopy, no recess — just do it.

Kennedy also summed up the far left of the Democratic Party well, saying while what they were selling might go over in some blue areas, what they were trying to sell wasn't going to fly in most of the country.

He said the strategy for dealing with them was very simple.

"Operation: Let Them Speak," he explained, running through the list of things that some of the leftist Democrats have said at different points.

"These folks have contempt for America when they should have gratitude. They wanna open the prisons, open the border, defund the police, defund ICE, abolish Thanksgiving, a government-run economy. The American people aren't gonna, not going to support that kind of nonsense."

Kudlow agreed.

He's absolutely right. When the Democratic Socialists of America national co-chair went on Fox and confirmed a list of all the unhinged things they believed, it really made the problem very concrete. These are the people that the Democrats are letting into the House and the Senate; some of them have talked about upending our system of government.

They're trying to sell themselves, wrapped in a "We care about the working class" outfit, even though socialist leaders like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani don't even seem to be able to define what the "working class" is.

But the more they speak, the more Americans see how off the rails the Democrats have become.
