During an interview on MSBNC Tuesday morning, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) discussed what he hopes to learn from William Barr’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and his expectations for a new attorney general.

An important qualification? Don’t be a “meathead.”

I want somebody who has thought about the world, thought about politics, has a brain, understands the law, has integrity, has good judgment, and understands he’s representing the American people,” he told “Morning Joe” hosts. “If he turns out to be a meathead, I’ll vote against him.”
