GOP Sen. Kennedy: Pelosi ‘Allowing Her Distaste’ For Trump To Get In Way Of A Deal

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said Thursday that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) put her personal feelings toward President Trump aside, it’d be a lot easier to strike a deal to end the weeks-long government shutdown.

“I would just point out hate is a very underestimated emotion,” Kennedy said on CNN. “I don’t know who said that, but someone did. And I think Mrs. Pelosi is allowing her distaste for the President to interfere with resolving this shutdown.”

There were conflicting reports about the tenor of a meeting between Trump and congressional leaders on Wednesday. The President walked out of the meeting after Pelosi made clear she wouldn’t accede to Trump’s demand for a border wall. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called it a “temper tantrum.” Trump, for his part, called the meeting a “waste of time.”

    Nope not even a little bit of misogyny in that statement.

    Senator, in today’s Republican party, I think you meant “underrated”.

  3. When your messiah continually refers to patriot, law abiding Democrats as the enemy, the opposition, along with all of his demeaning nicknames, you may want to clean up your own house before you start pointing your finger at others.

    Or, if it is more palatable to you and your faux christains, take the log out of your own eye so that you can see more clearly to take the splinter out of another’s.

    In other words, fuck you.

  4. So, among all of his other talents, Kennedy is a mind reader??

  5. Shorter John-boy: That old bag is being an emotional woman and PMSing all over Our President instead of doing his will like a good little woman should, make me a sandwich, Nancy, I like beer, etc.
