Sen. John Kennedy to Georgia "Vote For Herschel Instead of those 'Fancy Pants' Smart People"

Sen. John Kennedy Urges Georgia to Pick Herschel Walker Instead of 'High IQ' People

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was a part of Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s final campaign push on Sunday afternoon, two days before the runoff vote between him and sitting Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D). While Walker himself had a number of odd things to say over the weekend, it looks like fake folksy Kennedy was intent on adding his voice to the bizarre chorus.

Kennedy, while wearing a sticker reading “RUN HERSCHEL RUN,” railed against “these high IQ stupid people” running around Congress at a campaign stop in Loganville, Georgia, on Sunday afternoon. “These high IQ stupid people have an answer for everything. You know why? Because they think they’re smarter and more virtuous than the American people,” he said.

Did that make no sense to you? Never fear, Kennedy gave rallygoers a list of how to identify this population: “These woke high IQ stupid people are easy to recognize. They hate George Washington. They hate Thomas Jefferson,” he said. “They hate Dr. Suess, and they hate Mr. Potato Head.”

To that end, the spud haters also, apparently, are going about their days carrying plastic bags full of hearty greens. “These high IQ stupid people walk around with ziplock bags of kale that they can eat to give them energy,” said Kennedy, who is notably an Oxford-educated lawyer pretending to be a regular man of the people. “If you want to eat kale, that’s up to you. I don’t eat kale. You know why? Kale tastes to me like I’d rather be fat.”

That fake cornpone works every time.

[a kennedy]

1. This guy is another annoying piece of garbage.....🤬 🤬 🤬

[Kath2]

2. Don't vote for smart people.

You couldn't make these comments up. Woke high IQ stupid people? How does that even make any sense?

[H2O Man]

3. Recommended.

It's kind of funny -- obnoxious asswipe that he is, the guy is of higher intellect than the average republican in DC. I know, I know ..... low bar. But he wants to come off as a wise old owl. And he understands how brain-damaged Walker is. And, despite his toxic nature, his view of Walker slips out.

[Stinky The Clown]

4. From the first, 2nd Par of fake hayseed's wiki,

"Born in Centreville, Mississippi, Kennedy graduated from Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia School of Law before attending Magdalen College, Oxford."

That ain't Oxford, MS, Sen Smartypants.

[Pinback]

6. Exactly. The Foghorn Leghorn shtick is an act for the base. (nt)

[PatSeg]

13. And it really is so obviously fake

He didn't always talk and act like that. When I first saw him on television, he was quite normal and moderate. Once he started with the fake hick routine, he just got progressively worse. Evidently it must really be working with his constituents.

[relayerbob]

5. What a complete piece of shit

How did this country breed so many of these "people"? Oh, never mind, I was there, I already know.

[LiberalFighter]

7. He's saying Warnock's supporters are smarter than Walker's?

[halfulglas]

8. Louisianna must love fakes.

Fake homey stupid. Of all the things to buy fake the last thing I would want to have is fake stupid. It would make me want to know what kind of con is being pulled on me.

[Sneederbunk]

9. Is Kennedy inferring that Herschel is not high IQ?

[NowISeetheLight]

29. Well Trump DID love the uneducated!

[Takket]

10. this has to be the Onion, right?

[spanone]

11. He plays the rube to the rubes.

Shamelessly.

[2naSalit]

12. ...

[IcyPeas]

14. That's right! Vote for the dumbest candidate. USA! USA! USA! We're #1

[Cha]

15. Stupid.. I got a text from

desantis saying he supports Walker.. BFD.

American crossroads, too.. I'm on some kind of list that they think I'm who I'm NOT!

[ZonkerHarris]

16. The GOP will run a rock for Senate next cycle. Not "The Rock." A rock. a stone.

Their perfect candidate

[DemocraticPatriot]

46. At least the rock will not embarrass itself,

or them...

[walkingman]

17. And people wonder why sometimes it is so embarrassing to live in the South?

[electric_blue68]

18. You'd think after nearly 60 years that I wouldn't have a Picosecond* of a pause on this Sen John...

Kennedy... is that!?...noooo!
But I do! 🙄


* Picosecond = 1 Trillionth of a second!

[Solly Mack]

19. He's also suggesting that Warnock, other Democrats in Congress, as well as their supporters

are not Americans.

"...railed against “these high IQ stupid people” running around Congress...



“These high IQ stupid people have an answer for everything. You know why? Because they think they’re smarter and more virtuous than the American people,” he said.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. Yes, I noted that carving off intelligent people as Unamerican. Like Kmer Rouge in Cambodia

It would seem magats should now look for people who wear glasses so they can shoot them? Like the Kmer Rouge.

The Khmer Rouge regime frequently arrested and often executed anyone who it suspected of having connections with the former Cambodian government or foreign governments, as well as professionals, intellectuals, the Buddhist monkhood, and ethnic minorities. Even those people who were stereotypically thought of as having intellectual qualities, such as wearing glasses or speaking multiple languages, were executed out of fear that they would rebel against the Khmer Rouge.[95]

[IronLionZion]

42. Authoritarians love people to be uneducated and afraid

because they're easier to control

[Solly Mack]

43. Smart people might get a clue.

[Mz Pip]

20. So says the Rhodes Scholar

Kennedy is a disingenuous piece of slime. Hella smart but plays dumber than a box of rocks for his constituents.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. I think he majored in "Down-home Gibberish".

The chair is in a broom closet in the English Department.

Of course, at Oxford, they study the Cockney variants.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. In Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge Cambodia) the intellectual leaders executed other intellectuals

... for the slightest deviations or even for wearing glasses.

Pol Pot was a confirmed intellectual. Like Kennedy, intellectualism was fine for himself but not for the people.

Ideology played an important role in the genocide. Pol Pot was influenced by Marxism–Leninism and he wanted to transform Cambodia into an entirely self-sufficient agrarian socialist society that would be free from foreign influences. Stalin's work has been described as a "crucial formative influence" on his thought. Also heavily influential was Mao's work, particularly On New Democracy. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of his favorite authors, according to historian David Chandler (1992, p. 32).

21. Ah! Senator Cornpone McJowl has spoken!...

…and inadvertently spittled biscuit gravy remnants on the whole first row.

[Celerity]

23. Brawndo has what plants crave! It's got electrolytes!

[Paladin]

24. Fucking moron. (nt)

[Vinca]

25. I don't understand why his schtick works so well.

The guy deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of a "down home, good old boy."

[MissMillie]

26. Only in a GOPer's deluded reality...

...would intelligence and curiosity be considered a negative for ANYTHING.

[twodogsbarking]

27. OK dipshit, next time you need surgery call Hershel Walker.

[Marcuse]

28. "I say, vote for Herschel, I say!"

Sen. Kennedy and Mr. Leghorn both prefer to express themselves through colorful colloquialisms and downhome sayings. One does so to make you think he's wise, the other to make you think he's a country rube. Or, as the senator puts it, "They call me folksy. I think that means they're surprised I have a college degree."

Think you can tell the difference between Sen. John Neely Kennedy and Foghorn J. Leghorn? Take this quiz, intended as a tribute to the rhetorical skills of both Kennedy and Leghorn.[link:https://www.nola.com/opinions/who-said-it-sen-john-kennedy-or-foghorn-leghorn/article_d11f40ca-40da-5ffd-82f8-555ceca15685.html|

[LAS14]

30. Glad someone is protecting us from smartness. nt

[Algernon Moncrieff]

31. By "Oxford educated" does he mean the noted UK school of that name....

...or did he go to the University of Mississippi?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. He definitely does not mean the school shot up in Michigan a year ago. . . nt

[IronLionZion]

40. The British one

He's a highly educated POS who dumbs it down for his idiot voters.

[louis-t]

32. I really, really thought this was satire.

[llmart]

33. +1

This highly educated idiot needs to learn how to spell Dr. Seuss's name correctly.

[SledDriver]

34. You have to wonder if he really thinks like that

Or if there's some inside joke to see just how far they can go, how much stupid shit they can say, to see if people still buy it.

"I'm out there saying the woke people hate George Washington and eat kale, and still the yokels cheer in support"

[BumRushDaShow]

38. I was actually thinking that too

(and that includes the idiocy coming from Walker)

I.e., are they sacrificial "test cases" to see if any in their base are actually "listening" or are they just zombified?

And regarding Kennedy - he already put out his feelers about an interest in running for Governor of Louisiana when that election comes up in 2023 (he just got re-elected in the Senate this year).

[IronLionZion]

39. Kale cooks faster than collard greens, which are just as nutritious

Southerners like collard greens, right?

But of course stupid people are glorified by the GOP, see their last few presidents and Senators like John Kennedy (R-La).

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. They like 'em smothered with a quart of bacon grease.

[whistler162]

44. Where is Lloyd Bentsen when we need him?

'Senator, You're No Jack Kennedy'

[Collimator]

45. So, he's making a reference to Forrest Gump. . .

. . . with the "Run, Hershel! Run!" line.

But Forrest Gump had decency and emotional wisdom, which Hershel Walker does not.

[ShazzieB]

47. Okay, now I want a t-shirt that says "High IQ Stupid Person" on it!

Or better yet: "High IQ Stupid People for Raphael Warnock!"

But I guess it's too late for that now.

John Kennedy: “These high IQ stupid people have an answer for everything. You know why? Because they think they’re smarter and more virtuous than the American people.”

Hey, if this tiny IQ wingnut wants to call us that, I say we own it and wear it with pride!

Then again, maybe I'm just giddy tonight. I just thought that was really funny, though.
