GOP senator says Capitol security measures are just for show



By Oliver Willis -January 27, 2021 11:20 AM

Five people were killed in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on Tuesday night accused Democratic leaders in Congress of putting on a show by requesting National Guard protection of the U.S. Capitol.

Kennedy's comments come just 20 days after a pro-Trump mob attacked and invaded the building in an act of insurrection that killed five.

The FBI reportedly has over 400 cases relating to the attack open, including cases where the penalty could be up to 20 years in federal prison.

Come on, Louisiana Democrats; surely there's one person in your ranks who can run against this garbanzo and beat him?

Bel Edwards?

He's a conservative Dem, but a Dem. He has won the Governorship twice, which means he can win statewide.

Kennedy is a moron - a well educated one, but a moron nonetheless.

Hmm, apparently a majority of them are, or he wouldn't be there.

Maybe some of them will finally see the light.
