GOP Sen. Kennedy Says Opponents Of Reopening Schools ‘Can Kiss My A**’

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) went off on a rant on Monday night about those who oppose having schools reopen in the fall amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which has worsened dramatically in the U.S. over the past several weeks.

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Kennedy repeated President Donald Trump’s talking point that claims people who want the schools to remain closed are seeking a “political advantage.”

“They’re using our kids as political pawns, and to them I say unashamedly they can kiss my ass,” the GOP senator said.

“That’s wrong to do that to the kids of America,” he continued. “Not the people in good faith, but those who are just enjoying the chaos because they think it’s going to help them in November.”

Kennedy did not specify whom he accused of keeping the schools closed for political reasons, nor did he provide examples of anyone doing so (neither has Trump).

7. These people are so desperate in trying the change the narrative that they alone, screwed up...

royally with their handling of the CV epidemic in this Country. Their party is doomed, and they know it.

[lagomorph777]

10. They want to change it from "I don't give a shit about your grandmother..."

to "I don't give a shit about your kids!"

Not sure how they think that will work for them?

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Really. It's getting to the point that they are actually saying that they don't care about ...

the elderly, kids, teachers, other 'essential' workers, and just about everybody else, it seems like. Pathetic, aren't they?

[lagomorph777]

8. Seems like he really wants to get booted out.

But until 2023, best we can do is make him sit down and shut up from his minority seat.

[Penn Voter]

9. No, Senator

kissing ass is a favorite pastime of Republicans. Yes, Trump cares so much for children.

I guess that is why he had kids separated from their parents locked in cages and why it didn't bother him to see kids out of school when he was at Jeffrey Epstein's pad.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Well,this POS

just committed Political Suicide. Never challenge a Mother about keeping her children safe. Remember Pallie,Women make up more than 53% of your States Population.

See Ya Sucker!!

[phylny]

13. They all need to volunteer to be an aide in classrooms in

their states for two weeks.

Idiots.

14. If it would help change his stupid ass opinions, I would.

only if masked and protected by social distancing from the ass.

[Sanity Claws]

15. What a useless vulgar person.

Too bad he is not up for reelection this year. I think we will see a blue tsunami.

[roamer65]

16. He does an absolute disservice to the name "John Kennedy".

He should be forced to change his name.

[tanyev]

17. Well, I guess staying alive and healthy would be a political advantage.

But mostly it’s about just wanting to stay alive and healthy.

[Cha]

18. KISS your OWN ASS, ASSHOLE, Jkennedy.
