US senator denounced as ‘profoundly ignorant man’ over remarks on Mexico

John Kennedy’s comments about Mexicans ‘eating cat food’ came as he urged the US military to enter country to ‘stop the cartels’

The Louisiana Republican’s racist remarks drew a strong condemnation from Mexico’s foreign affairs secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, who called Kennedy “a profoundly ignorant man”. Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, meanwhile, urged the 37 million Americans of Mexican descent – along with other Latinos in the US – “not to vote for people with this very arrogant, very offensive and very foolish mentality” in the future.

I agree with Mr. Kennedy. Let him lead his fellow repug Senators and traitor congressthings in the attack. Then Biden can seal off the border to keep them from coming back (while continuing to allowing immigrants).

Meanwhile, we pay Zelenskiy to loan Mexico some battle hardened troops by giving him bigger missiles in return with the instructions to take no prisoners among the invaders.
