John Kennedy: Many in Washington establishment think Americans are 'morons' for electing Trump
Fox News ^ | January 22, 2020 | By Talia Kaplan

“I know it looks complicated, but this is really very simple,” the Senate Judiciary Committee member said. “From a larger perspective, here's what's going on. Large portions of the political establishment here in Washington, D.C. think the American people are morons and they're not qualified to pick their own president and that's why they want to replace President Trump.”

“This case is about two issues,” Kennedy, R-La., added.

“Why did the president ask for an investigation? Was he investigating a political rival or was he investigating corruption? And number two, what did Hunter Biden do for the money? Now, you answer those two questions, and we'll be ready to vote.”

He went on to say that he anticipates Senate Minority Leader Schumer “is going to try to disqualify the president's counsel, Pat Cipollone.”

“He says that he is a fact witness and has a conflict,” Kennedy said. “Look, if I were in Senator Schumer's shoes, I'd probably want to disqualify Cipollone too, because he's a damn good lawyer, and he did a great job last night.

"But at this juncture, Senator Schumer, he's kind of like a teenager. He hates everybody and everything related to the president,” he continued.

“He called White House counsel liars, liars, liars. And then he spoke to those of us who happen to be Republicans in the Senate and said if you don't vote the way that he, Chairman Nadler, wants us to, then we're all involved in a cover-up,” he continued.

“And he was called down by the chief justice. I thought Chairman Nadler demonstrated a little more zeal than wisdom. But, you know, it was all for naught.”

“John Kennedy: Many in Washington establishment think Americans are ‘morons’ for electing Trump”

He’s got the words “many” and “morons” reversed here. Typos happen.

Judge a tree by its fruit.

If you find that when you try to support your position you look like an idiot, and are constantly falling into “ad-hominem attack” mode, you just may be the one that is wrong.

That’s what I see whenever I see Schiff, Nadler and Pelosi open their mouths on the impeachment.

And some of them wear R jerseys and are currently appearing to support the President for their own election.

The “Washington Establishment” is not America, Johnny Boy.

The very fact that they hate Trump is sufficient reason for the unwashed masses to support Trump, because the “Washington Establishment” also hates the unwashed masses.

As far as I know Hunter Biden is not running for anything. And even if he was, corruption is not limited to people who are not politicians.

If that is the real FOX headline it SUCKS.

Kennedy is saying the DC SWAMP, and everyone that makes it up, thinks that flyover country is populated by morons.

Sorry, but with the possible exception of STEM types in DC, we’re not talkin’ intellectuals there. They are marshmallow majors who have never done and never will accomplish anything requiring talent, intellect, or creativeness in that Mos Eisley of the western hemisphere.

There is one thing people who love power consistently hate: voters. They don’t want free elections.

Amen, Bro! Exactly what I was fixing to type. Kennedy is from the next state over from us, and he’s been a loyal supporter of the POTUS. And he KNOWs the “unwashed masses” are not morons.

Senator from Louisiana.
Two clues in the first two paragraphs are: where it says, “the Senate Judiciary member” and “Kennedy, R.La.”
