Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., gave his thoughts on what he considers to be a divide in the Democratic Party amid fallout from the longest government shutdown in U.S. history in an interview Thursday on "Will Cain Country."
One impact of the shutdown, according to the senator from Louisiana, is the potential political shakeup within the Democratic Party that will land at the feet of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"Senator Schumer gambled, and he lost," Kennedy said. "He’s kind of walking around now looking like a guy who just lost his luggage."
"I think his testicles are on back order from China," he added.
The power struggle, he said, is between what he called the "Bolshevik wing" of the party and old-guard politicians like Schumer. Schumer, Kennedy said, understands the "loons" within his party, but is "scared of them."
The "socialist" wing of the party, according to Kennedy," is led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. The folksy senator acknowledged AOC's media prowess but argued she doesn’t have much to offer policy-wise.
"The congresswoman is a creation of the media," he said.
"I’ve never heard anybody describe her as a policy maven. My experience with her is if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface."
Kennedy also proposed ideas to stop shutdowns in the future: No pay for members of congress while the government isn’t open.
Another idea he suggested was ensuring that members of Congress stay "within 100 miles of Washington, D.C." during a shutdown.

My favorite from him about AOC is “she is the reason there are instructions on shampoo bottles”.
I tipped a punt to kiss the Blarney Stone in Cork and just can’t come close to competing with Senator Kennedy.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., gave his thoughts on the divide among Democrats
.........amid fallout from the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
“Senator Schumer gambled, and he lost. He’s kind of walking
around now looking like a guy who just lost his luggage.”
“I think his testicles are on back order from China,” he added.
Schumer? Chinese testicles?
Who knew?
“...tipped a punt...”
-
What does that mean?
My favorite line of his—and I don’t remember to whom he directed it—was “Cry harder, princess.”
Senator John Kennedy is by far my favorite senator.
And he actually seems to have integrity.
That should be a given. It's ridiculous and reprehensible that it isn't.
My fav...”Stupid should hurt more.”
I have noticed AOC has begun to make more public appearances on her own, fully independent of The Squad.
Part of her re-branding efforts.
Is there no other experienced Dem (other than AOC) who would like to replace Schumer?
Speak now, or forever hold your peace!
I think he meant, “tipped a pint” of beer, before leaning over backwards over a well to kiss the Blarney Stone.
“My experience with her is if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface.”
John Kennedy is not wrong.
[As usual.]
There ought to be an official position called “Senate Laureate” and Sen. Kennedy should be it.
Our local station that carried Levin and Hannity got sold and all the stars got substituted by third string talk show hosts who all do it in pairs. I hate talk shows with more than one host. They invariably waste too much time in chit chat. Even Hannity indulges in that with the producerette.
Prior to the Euro, Ireland had the ‘pound’ which was locally called ‘punt.’ During business travel to the UK I flew into Shannon and worked my way over (1998). The ‘punt’ was a 1 pound irish coin.
There was a guy at the top of the castle who would hold on to you as you leaned in to kiss the ‘blarney stone.’ He was tipped for his services. It was several stories up so you would be glad to have a ‘spotter.’
Yes, Senate Laureate fits well for him!
Eww. Scratch, scratch, scratch endlessly looking for brains but the MSM will elevate her to being godlike.
I’d rather his testicles stay on back order.
