You just can’t script this kind of pure gold.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) just delivered an absolute masterclass in political comedy, and his target was none other than Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Appearing on Fox News alongside political analyst Charles Hurt, Kennedy launched a full minute of straight-up stand-up comedy that left Hurt visibly struggling to maintain composure as the Louisiana senator rattled off one punchline after another. Hurt can be heard laughing in the background as the senator compares AOC to Kamala Harris, only with more bartending experience. He also jokes that AOC’s strategy is “Operation Let Her Speak.” Sen. Kennedy: Well, it’s not all crickets. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez went to Munich this week and made some comments about foreign policy. Look, I don’t hate anybody, and I certainly don’t hate the Congresswoman. But how can I put this? The Congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience. She has never been accused of being a policy maven. You put her in a presidential primary with Elizabeth Warren or Rahm Emanuel, and they will devour her like a light snack. I probably shouldn’t say this, but she can get me back. Somebody told me a joke today. They said Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez announced today, categorically, that she is not a moron. And she went on to say she hasn’t even been to Utah, much less embraced their religion. Now, she can get me back. I don’t dislike the Congresswoman, but our plan for dealing with her, as I’ve said before, has always been Operation: Let Her Speak. And so far, it’s working. And my message to my friend, the Congresswoman, is: You go, girl. You just keep it up.

Senator Kennedy is a national treasure as far as I'm concerned.

AOC is humiliated unless she has no shame.
Apologies for the poor formatting
She got exposed in Munich for being the political lightweight we have all known she is.
If you watch the video she posted she has unraveled to a certain point....that for 2 rea.
1. She has been hit with the realization she is not so bright.
2. She’s scared shtless her political career is in serious jeopardy.
Senator Kennedy is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned.
20 years ago I never would have expected to ever read that on FR. ;)
The master of cornpone humor.
Come on be nice. AOC is auditioning for Jane Curtin’s role on SNL. Dan Akroyd could use his comment about her acumen with impunity.
20 years ago, hardly anybody outside Louisiana knew that this “John Kennedy” wasn’t on of “those” Kennedys
A lot of things have changed in 20 years 😏
She’s a moron, but she actually blames that on Trump.
People laughed at Al Franken too.
“the senator compares AOC to Kamala Harris, only with more bartending experience”
He missed a twofer though:
Ones a bartender......the other a barfly. 😂😂😂
No apologies necessary! Kennedy’s deadpan humor comes through loud and clear.
XLNT point !
“AOC announced categorically, that she is not a moron, said
she hasn’t even been to Utah, much less embraced their religion.”
lol
He is! Even though he’s not one of my state’s senators, he’s my personal favorite senator of all!
She’s not a moron; she’s never even been to Utah.
Love it!
Oh that skit was so funny, especially if you had been watching the real Point counterpoint on 60 Minutes. Jane you ignorant slut was just barely acceptable on public TV at the time, which is why it packed so much power.
The down home humor is still for real. Most Southerners have two accents, one for work and one for play. Some of us have more depending on which part of the South we're in and who we're standing next to.
