Senator Fake Cornpone Glitches After Hearing Answer to His Own Question
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on Trumps mass deportation plans, Republican Senator John Kennedy, as is his wont, pestered a witness with questions he didnt care to hear answers to.
The hearing, titled How Mass Deportations Will Separate American Families, Harm Our Armed Forces, and Devastate Our Economy, focused on the damaging effects of Trumps proposed immigration agenda. But in one bizarre line of questioning, Kennedy asked the same question over and over again while pretending not to hear the answer.
Witness Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, testified that a mass deportation campaign could cost as much as $1 trillion and lead to a loss in total gross domestic product of 4.2 to 6.8 percent.
Louisianas John Kennedy was evidently more concerned with a November 2022 tweet in which Reichlin-Melnick criticized Texas and Louisiana for taking legal action against the Department of Homeland Security for NOT expelling Haitian migrants to Haiti under Title 42, when, in reality, he wrote, Title 42 expulsions were down because Haitians stopped crossing illegally!

The good Senator must be another losing his marbles.
