Senator John Kennedy blasted the Democrats’ latest Coronavirus “relief bill” Thursday night as an “orgy of pork”, accusing far-left lawmakers of using the global pandemic to pass a liberal wish-list of progressive policies.
“President Biden said we want to meet you half-way. If that’s the case he’s a damn poor judge of distance. This bill is dreadful. The only way I know how to improve it is with a shredder. It’s not even a Coronavirus bill,” said Kennedy. “Calling this a coronavirus bill is like calling Harvey Weinstein a feminist.”
“It’s chock-full of spending porn. Billions to pension programs. Billions to schools with no requirement that they open. It’s an orgy of pork,” he added. “It’s using the virus as an excuse to fund pork is like looting after a natural disaster.”

KENNEDY on DEM STIMULUS: ‘It’s Not a Coronavirus Bill, It’s a “Let’s Remake Western Civilization” Bill’
Senator John Kennedy spoke with Sean Hannity Wednesday night on Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion spending bill; saying the Speaker of the House “overplayed her hand” by including billions in unrelated spending.
“I don’t think we’re going to have a fifth bill… Some of my colleagues disagree, but I think it’s less than 50%. I think Speaker Pelosi overplayed her hand. Her bill is so grandiose, it’s not a Coronavirus bill, it’s basically a ‘Let’s remake Western Civilization’ Bill,” said Sen. Kennedy.
“If she takes it back to the Ocasio-Cortez wing in the House, they’re not going to support it. I think she overplayed her hand here,” he added.

KENNEDY on HANNITY: Pelosi’s $3 TRILLION Bill is ‘Dead as Fried Chicken in the Senate’
Senator John Kennedy stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Tuesday night to weigh-in on Speaker Pelosi’s latest stimulus package; calling the $3 trillion proposal “dead as fried chicken” when it reaches the Senate.
“Senator, I don’t want anyone else to die. I don’t want anyone else to get sick. But we did learn from workers that didn’t get sick, they wore masks and gloves,” said Hannity.
“None of us want anyone to die. I don’t think any of us want to see permanent damage done to our economy,” said Sen. Kennedy. “That’s why I’m so disappointed in Speaker Pelosi’s bill… It’s not a serious effort to legislate. It’s dead as fried chicken in the Senate.”
