Sen. John Kennedy ripped the Democratic Party’s leadership Tuesday, claiming a "loon wing" of radical progressives has taken control with "nauseously woke" policies.
The Louisiana Republican joined "The Will Cain Show" to argue that many of his Democratic colleagues are afraid to challenge party leaders on the "foolishness" of their shift to the left.
"The Democratic Party is controlled by the loon wing. And that doesn't mean they're all, Democrats, a member of the loon wing, but the loon wing's in control," Kennedy said.
"Their motherboard is fried."
He described the far-left faction as being dominated by figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“Loon Wing” has some serious possibilities for great AI memes.
Didn’t even read it. He’s not wrong.
I would say in terms of Venn diagrams the loon wing is almost eclipsing the dim party.
It’s not just a loon wing. It’s the whole bird.
John Fetterman is the only somewhat sane Democrat in the entire US Senate. All the rest range from deranged to outright evil.
So, yeah. You’re right.
“claiming a “loon wing” of radical progressives has taken control with “nauseously woke” policies.”
And yet, the “loon wing” continues to dominate Republicans on policy issues that affect Americans. Republicans’ only response seems to be humorous but ultimately weak videos like this.
A great vp to finish out the term after JD gets his POTUS appointment.
You forgot just plain cowardly. I’m sure there are quite a few Dems in government who don’t like the way their party is going, but they’re too scared to speak up. And maybe with good reason.
I suppose, as long as comedic relief is all you are looking for in a VP.
At this point in his presidency we need it and the rats need it more.
Great metaphor!
what’s a motherboard ?
Senator JOHN Kennedy is my favorite senator ever.
I wish there were more like him.
Wait a minute, I think loons are interesting birds.Use another term to describe insanity.
Except they only have to go up against the Pubbies.
I am way past tired and fed-up with these so-called “conservative” members of the House and Senate that come on television, spew forth some little remark about how crazy and loony the Dems are, and then can be seen having drinks and dinner with the same people he or she just called crazy.
It’s now being run by drug addicted young college “students” with worthless diplomas who worship America-hating terrorists.
Somebody told me that Chunky Schumer and King Hakeem Skyhook have both been made Honorary Iranian Mullahs and Ayatollahs for defending the murderous Iranian regime during its war with AMERICA.
