It's such a treat to listen to Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) light into Democrats, but it's not just because he's usually making some spectacular arguments. It's also because he does it in that southern gentlemanly kind of way that leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for the moment he goes for the jugular.
Unfortunately for Democrat leaders, it wasn't the jugular Kennedy was going for in a recent interview, but other body parts the Senator said were missing when it came to their willingness - or lack thereof - to unequivocally call out the extremists within the party's ranks.

Amid the rise of radicals in their party like Zohran Mamdani, Democrat pushback on cleaning up the streets of Washington, D.C., and the opposition from Democrats to arresting criminal illegal immigrants across the country and deporting them, Kennedy went off in a segment with Fox News host Sean Hannity, saying the "loon wing" of the Democrat Party had taken over and that the "mainstream wing" was terrified of speaking out against them:
"The mainstream wing of the party is scared to death of the loon wing. They won't speak up. And they don't stand for anything anymore. All they stand for is against whatever President Trump stands for. That's why we find ourselves in the extraordinary position of mainstream Democrats have now come out firmly and passionately in favor of crime in Washington, D.C. Why? Because Trump is trying to do something about it."
Kennedy agreed that it was unlikely that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would ever stand up to the radicals who have taken over the Democrat Party, but he called on them to man up anyway, as only he can:
No, but they could. And I don't mean any disrespect. I don't know Mr. Jeffries that well. I know Sen. Schumer very well, so I say this with respect: Chuck and Hakeem need to go to Amazon, buy some testicles, and stand up to the loon wing of their party. And until they’re willing to do that - I haven't heard Senator Schumer say anything bad about Mamdani. I mean, the guy's a socialist. He's a whackjob. They're scared to death. And the party is not going to get better until they do.
When Hannity quipped that he didn't know you could buy things like that on Amazon, Kennedy responded by saying, "Sure you can, they're very cheap. You can buy anything on Amazon."
Watch:
In another Fox News interview earlier in the day, Kennedy shredded what he called the "tofu mob" and their opposition to law and order in D.C.:
I see movie stars and pop singers who partied with Harvey Weinstein. I see the tofu mob with their NPR tote bags and their organic broccoli, and I see many of my Democratic friends, who, in response to said president, foam at the mouth and have their 19th nervous breakdown.
And instead of thanking the president or saying, 'Good idea,' they accuse him of undermining democracy. And I just think to myself, 'The mind is a terrible thing to waste,' and that's what I think America sees.
Watch:
Democrats are falling into the same traps they did in 2020 with the "Defund the Police" movement, not just because of their failure to call out the more extremist elements, but also because, in some cases, they are going right along with them.
I'm not one for interrupting the political opposition while they're in the middle of self-destructing, but this is some weapons-grade stupidity on display from Democrats, and it doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon, if ever - certainly not in time for the 2026 midterms.
