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

“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.”
