GOP Sen. Kennedy: ‘I Knew That President Biden Would Be Left of Center — I Never Dreamed He’d Be Left of Lenin’
Jeff Poor 21 Apr 2021
Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,†Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) expressed his frustration with some of the rhetoric from prominent Democrats following Tuesday’s three-count guilt verdict for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
The Louisiana Republican said he took exception to President Joe Biden, who he said knew better but has aligned himself of being to the left of Vladimir Lenin.
“I’m listening to the congresswoman, and I’m thinking no disrespect, but how does anyone get to be her age and believe that drivel?†Kennedy said. “This, to me, is what this is all about, Tucker: No fair-minded person believes that cops, many of whom are racial minorities, get up every day and go to work hoping for the opportunity to be able to hurt someone, including but not limited to people of color. That’s nonsense.â€
“But the woke-aristas like the congresswoman, they really believe it,†he continued. “They really do hate cops just because they’re cops. They really do want to defund the police, which will result in a fantastic impression of hell. The woke-aristas really do believe that when a cop shoots a criminal, it is always, every single time, the cop’s fault. But when a criminal shoots a cop, it’s always, every single time, the gun’s fault. These folks really do have contempt for America. They should have gratitude, but they have contempt.â€
“They’re not happy and won’t be happy until they take a sledgehammer to America’s core,†Kennedy explained. “Now, you’re saying to yourself probably, this is America, you’re entitled to believe what you want, and I agree with that. And I have hope for them — Jellyfish have survived 650 million years without a brain, so there is hope for them. But what I’m disappointed in is President Biden.â€
“He has encouraged this,†he added. “I listened to him last night, and he knows better. No one can get to be his age with his experience and not know this is nonsense. I hear people say all the time, you know, cut him some slack. Maybe he’s lost his fastball. No, he knows better. He’s encouraged it. And it’s hurting America, and it’s hurting people, and I knew that President Biden would be left of center. I never dreamed he’d be left of Lenin. And he needs to stand up.â€

How difficult it was to convince people Biden was a horrific mistake during the last election. Convincing people to not listen to the Never Trumpers was so futile, and as Trump was so vilified and demonized, so many were convinced anything was better than Trump. So the NeverTrumpers got their way and now cry don't blame them for getting their way. I'm no fool, let them live with the horror and the credit for what they brought upon us, they richly deserve it! 22222frying pan :chairbang: 22222frying pan

If the Republicans had nominated a decent candidate, we wouldn't be stuck with this administration.
Biden got the anti-Trump vote, just like Trump got the anti-Hillary vote.

And you realize most people's views of Trump were manipulated by the media, who painted a false picture of Trump, and many people even on our side bought their lies.

Trump was in plain sight for everyone to see and read his tweets regardless of the media. He's a child man. And yes Biden is far worse. But bad choices are still bad choices.
Who exactly was in charge when the two week lock down continued for nearly a year? And didn't fire Faucci promptly for all his lying crap. Leadership requires something more.

True to a large extent, but in all fairness, Trump's personality flaws gave them the tools to get away with this.
I started to listen to his interview with Hannity about whether he will run in 2024. I got about 30 seconds into it before turning it off in frustration. Trump starts his answer by going off into some off-topic and counter-productive sidebar conversation about how he saved 10 Republican Senators from losing re-election ("I won't name them, but Mitch McConnell was one..."). This guy steps on his Johnson constantly. I'm ready for someone with an America First policy, but who is smart enough and saavy enough not to continually give the Democrats more ammo.
And please spare me the "they'd do that to any Republican" argument. I remember very clearly when Reagan was in office how the Dems and media tried to get him. But he whipped their ass constantly, went on the offensive,and won a landslide second term victory. Trump spent his entire term on the defensive.

Or not taking a harder stand against the riots last summer and allowing the Democrats to claim that all this chaos is happening on his watch

Things are a lot different than they were in Reagan's time. The Corporations were still relatively "Right Wing" then.

That's a valid point. I still think we can do better than Trump in 2024.

I actually do too, it's Ron DeSantis. But understand, if not for Trump, there is no DeSantis, I can see Trump endorsing him.

The NeverTrumpers demand and assure us Trump was the wrong way to go, yet they don't man up that getting their way gave us Biden and ALL THE SHIITE WE NOW ENDURE/SUFFER FROM. Odd how the NeverTrumpers march in perfect lockstep with democrats vicious and felony illegal obstruction of a legitimate sitting President,but ignore the criminal activities and join with the insurrectionist, while denying they did so. Then point the accusatory finger at the President that endured never seen before criminalities and intolerance of a President. They even supported the crimes of the criminals last election. NeverTrumpers are the mongrel dogs hiding in the shadows doing the democrats dirty works, spinelessly-gutlessly so.

With the complete radicalization of the Democrats into Socialists/Communists/Fascists, in todays ultra-polerized political environment just being normal and reasonable is considered "right-wing". Even just being neutral is considered to be on the political 'right'.
That's why so many people in the uber-Liberal areas (like Hollywood) say and do utterly crazy things to demonstrate and prove how far-Left they are. Lest they be accused of not being far-Left enough. In Liberal circles, if you are not a crazy screaming lunatic supporting every perverted America-hating opinion on the Leftist list ...well... that automatically makes you a Trump supporter. Sports and corporations are following what they think is the popular trend, even if it costs them millions in revenue.

It parallels what happened in France around 1789.

If Trump was the answer we wouldn't be where we are now. He was the commander in chief for 4 years. And don't tell me he was blocked at every turn. If that's the case he was incapable of leading.
Bush brought us Obama and Trump brought us this.

Perhaps. But the cities will starve without the rural food, water and energy production. And the cities is where this will start when it starts. It will also end there.

The bigger queston outright is are these GOP senators more naive or just plain stupid.
A little more fight between November 4- January 6th, sure might have yielded a different result if the rank and file GOP had balls.

christian: and so the efforts to open peoples eyes who were clueless mas a monumental task, and was a task that often failed. So difficult was the task of reaching the hardcore clueless, and so it continues. Many peoples love of liars and lies, more addicted to lies than crack whores to crack. To the clueless,t ry not being clueless and then try getting other deniers to abandoned their addictions and willful blindness and deafness. You will find it will test your soul. The whores of hell see this as their time.

Not quite so sure. If DeSantis keeps on a conservative path, he will likely become the GOP nominee, but it also depends on if the leftists are able to destroy him. We are talking another 3 years out. I believe Trump will fade into the background as he ages and gets used to being out of the political scene. His sons and daughters may continue on in politics, but I believe Trump himself will bow out.
