The Senator is John "no relation" Kennedy to use Brian Williams moniker for him.

He warned them to tell the truth as if they wouldn't without him. What a creep.

So he was being partisan, and casting aspersions. Of course he was.

It is embarrassing that he is a US Senator....but then again that is true of most (or all?) of the Repugs.

Not that I necessarily put it past him, but there's not enough evidence to even charge Trump for it, let alone assume it's a nationally accepted "fact".

What does he know about various things that he's not telling us? Let's not forget that he is part of the federal government.

Someone on MSNBC played AV of him many years ago when he was trying to appear educated, intelligent, and thoughtful. But I guess his campaign manager talked him into putting on the "cornpone" voice.

It’s enough to make anyone with two functioning brain cells cringe in shame. How can anybody listen to that asshat and say “that’s the guy who will get my vote!”? 🙄

He makes my eyes roll so hard it pulls my crow’s feet back smooth. LOL
