Sen. Kennedy: Trusting Russia, North Korea, Iran like trusting 'a Jussie Smollett police report'
Fox ^ | 9/14/2019 | Sam Dorman

Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana said America can't trust nations like Russia and Iran, comparing their leaders' credibility to that of disgraced actor Jussie Smollett.

"I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report," Kennedy said.

"You can't trust them and they're not going to stop -- they're not our friends. Since President Trump took office, they don't love us anymore, but I think, by God, they respect us now," he added during an appearance on "Your World."

Kennedy was responding to former Defense Secretary James Mattis previously saying he was very worried about Russian President Vladimir Putin and considered him a "threat."

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, released earlier this year, found that Putin's government engaged in a concerted effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.

More details are expected to surface, with the Justice Department's inspector general telling lawmakers Friday that he has submitted a draft report on potential surveillance abuses.

Kennedy told "Your World" host Neil Cavuto that Attorney General William Barr, who received the draft, should work to release that report publicly as soon as possible.

If the report shows surveillance abuses, Kennedy said the perpetrators need to be "dismissed."

"If necessary," he added, "they need to be prosecuted with great vengeance and furious anger."

I don’t think we should “trust” any country as they all have their own interests. Plus ...and I can’t say this enough...Russia didn’t influence the election.

He does have some zingers and I love him. A week or so ago when he was on a show - I forget whose it was (Tucker/Laura?), he was talking about the democrats not taking the border crisis seriously and said, “It isn’t Big Rock Candy Mountain down there”. Every day has new issues so I forget exactly what the discussion was centered around but he always comes out a winner in my book!

These three American foes are the real axis of evil I know everyone likes to side with russia cause the leftists are always against them and they are white but they aren’t good whites like people here in the flyover states who love Jesus and treat people kindly. Which actually makes the Russians like democrats, though they are against gays and say they are orthodox christians, they are like drunk fascists. In the end they are communists who are siding with evil China and Islamic states to bring down America. It’s only a matter of time before they make their move.
