John Kennedy is getting off the sidelines and into the fight for 2024.
He’s taking dead aim at the Democrat ticket.
And John Kennedy spoke two words that sent Kamala Harris into a fit of rage.
John Kennedy blasts Kamala Harris for her constant blunder
U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed Vice President Kamala Harris during an appearance on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle.
He called President Joe Biden and Kamala “inflation machines” after they sent prices through the roof.
The colorful Louisiana lawmaker noted that the Vice President is long on empty platitudes and short on substance.
“Well, the reason, I think, that Ms. Harris talks about abstractions like the rule of law, like freedom, like joy, like opportunity, is because she can’t talk about a record,” Kennedy said. “Unless you do your research on Twitter, you know that Ms. Harris’ record on inflation and crime and the economy and the border and national security and national defense all sucks. That’s why she distorts and attempts to distract.”
Kamala is running a campaign based on good vibes and joy in the style of former President Barack Obama’s 2008 message of “hope and change.”
She’s leaning into emotional appeals to avoid having the election fought over the policy failures of the Biden-Harris administration.
A candidate without a plan
Kennedy thought that the economy would be the most important issue for the election.
“In America today, it is harder than ever to get ahead,” Kennedy stated. “And it is easier than ever to do nothing.”
“I still think the economy, inflation, and this campaign is going to be the main issue. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been inflation machines,” Kennedy added. “What is Ms. Harris’ plan to reduce prices? She doesn’t have one.”
Prices are more than 20% across the board under the Biden-Harris administration.
Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided Senate in March 2021 for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which ignited the worst inflation in 40 years.
The only proposal that she came up with for high prices was using the federal government to create Soviet-style price controls at the grocery store to fight imaginary price gouging.
Her price control scheme was widely panned in the media and even by some Democrats.
Politico reported that House Democrats claimed she wasn’t serious, and Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell called it a communist proposal.
Kennedy didn’t think that voters would be fooled by Kamala’s emotional appeals.
“I don’t think this election will be decided on abstractions like the rule of law or joy,” Kennedy said. “I don’t think most Americans think that much about abstractions. They’re too busy getting up every day and going to work and obeying the law and paying their taxes and trying to keep their kids’ morals.”
Kamala is hoping the media can win the election framed upon joy and good vibes.
But if the election is fought over the economy and inflation, her campaign is in deep trouble in November.
