Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on "FOX & Friends" Thursday that President Biden and VP Harris are embracing the "loon wing" of the Democratic Party that supports open borders. Kennedy said Republicans are "as serious as a heart attack" about demanding border security measures to go along with funding for Ukraine.
JOHN KENNEDY: President Biden is in political trouble. His poll numbers are practically on the ocean floor. 70% of the American people think his first car was a chariot. At times, his vice president talks like she's from outer space. Part of the reason is that the president and his vice president are in trouble is the border, it's wide open. Now it's pretty easily fixed. Just stop people from coming in. Duh. So you say, why won't the president do that? Because he is a captive of the loon wing of the Democratic Party. Not all Democrats believe in an open border, but the loons do. And unfortunately, many members of the White House staff that make policy with their pumpkin spice lattes and their man purses, believe in open borders.
Now, the president sent us a national security bill and we said, OK, we're going to do national security, but we're not going to pass your bill until you close the border. And the president said, surely you're not serious. And the Republicans in the Senate said, don't call me Shirley and we are serious. We're as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke. And here's where we are now: in recent days the president has decided, well, maybe we better do something at the border. And the loon wing of the Democratic Party is beating him up like he stole Christmas. But we're not going to get a deal done until the president agrees...

“We’re as serious as four weddings and a funeral.”
McConnell is also for this...and has been right along.
Too bad the border is like humpty-dumpty as long as these dumper-humpers are in charge.
Oh, there’s Sen. Kennedy with another cute quip. I’d prefer he keep his cute sayings to himself and not vote for the NDAA with all of the woke unconstitutional crap in it like he did.
How many of you AMERICANS out there got your five grand gift card, free groceries and your mortgage or rent paid by Uncle Samantha this Christmas? Mine must have got lost in the mail. I imagine all the Banana Boater vote mail in ballots are starting to hit the system.
Did it take him 5 minutes to say it?
This POS voted for renewing domestic surveillance of US citizens. Hope an alligator spits out his shoe.
Amen. So sick of that clown.
NEVER believe, or trust, a politician ever...regardless of what side of the UniParty they may reside.
Both parties gotta go!
There is no issue the GOP won’t cave on…..
Sounds serious until the vote, backroom deals, and standing firm vs going on vacation. Look at what congress just did.

He sure does... But, He's three years too late.. Obama's army has already breach the walls and he has them housed, fed, and needs only to get them armed.. Soon the war will start..
It is better to fight your battles when you have the advantage. The 702 vote put a drop dead date of the unconstitutional FISA program in 4 months. It will no longer be tied to voting for defense spending.
If the goal was to put it up to a stand alone vote, I wouldn’t consider it a win, but more of a preparatory step.

Thanks. We’ll see. Guy has a crappy ACU rating.
Repukes are the champs of pissing on your leg, then telling you it’s raining.
