GOP Sen. John Kennedy Says House Dems are Telling Americans 'You're Stupid and We're Smart'

GOP Sen. John Kennedy Says House Dems are Telling Americans ‘You’re Stupid and We’re Smart’
By Connor MannionOct 19th, 2019, 7:58 pm

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told Fox News that House Democratic leadership is telling the American people “you’re stupid and we’re smart” on the subject of impeachment.

Kennedy spoke with Neil Cavuto on Cavuto Live Saturday about the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, opening with vitriol for Rep. Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“When I watch the House impeachment proceedings I’m perplexed and appalled. Here is what I hear Nancy Pelosi and Chairman Schiff saying to the American people. You are stupid and we are smart. I hear them saying to the American people you are so stupid you can’t govern yourselves. I hear them saying you are so stupid that you chose Donald Trump over Secretary Clinton and we’ve got to fix it for you,” Kennedy said.

“Well, they could turn it around on you Senator and say ‘are Republicans stupid enough to keep carrying the president’s water?’ … that he does the kind of things that put guys like you on the spot,” Cavuto asked.

If we really want to make serious change in this country, we need to stop giving garbage people platforms. Trash begats trash.

Donald Trump is a garbage person. So is Limbaugh, Hannity, Pierro, Savage, Jones, McConnell, I could go on and on.

Yeah , about 30% of the country are terminally stupid …….It's impossible to reason with them …...But the rest of us have obligation to advocate for policies that will improve the quality of their lives... Just don't expect them to show any gratitude…. They love Trump ...He hates the same people they do ……

But during his campaign for Senate he became a nutcase. It's hard to imagine the former K saying things the current K says. But apparently Trump period.

So, the audience needs someone to tell them what someone else hears. It is the essence of their being. They have to have politicians tell them things, just like they need a preacher to tell them bible stories. They cannot read for themselves, they need someone to explain things for them. Poor things.

And Kennedy knows his audience, doesn't he?

However, the Dems are telling the American people they're going to try to hold the criminal to account. And by the polls, most of them approve.

There is a stupid group of people, of course. It's the ones STILL trying to protect the criminal.

The truth hurts doesn't it? Check out Kennedy's explanation here. I believe that Trump believes.....that makes it all ok. Makes the "Chewbacca Defense" seem cogent.

But for some reason zero republicans complained about that.

And impeachment isn't about reversing an election, Clinton wouldn't replace Donnie; pence, who also won thanks to the electoral college, would.

So mostly what he's doing is the usual Republican game of claiming to be a victim when anyone even suggests they be held to any standards whatsoever.
