From the Daily Caller: Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy sparred Monday with Fox News host Neil Cavuto over Republicans’ characterization of Vice President Kamala Harris after Kennedy claimed she was behind President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court overhaul proposal.
In an op-ed for The Washington Post early Monday, Biden listed sweeping proposals for the Supreme Court including term limits for justices and “no immunity for crimes a former president committed in office.” Cavuto butted heads with Kennedy after the GOP senator suggested Harris was behind the proposal.
“I don’t think President Biden’s proposal is really President Biden’s proposal. I think it’s Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposal,” Kennedy said. “When the president announced it, she immediately endorsed it enthusiastically. I think she’s asked him to take the lead so in case there’s blow back, it doesn’t get on her.”
Kennedy said it is “very strange” that Harris decided to lead with a policy proposal that is “about abortion.” Harris has leaned in on the issue of abortion since she was endorsed by Biden, who dropped his reelection bid on July 21. The presumptive 2024 Democratic candidate launched a pro-abortion “week of action” across swing states Monday, The Hill reported.
Kennedy told Cavuto, “Many Americans think that the vice president is a little bit of a ding-dong. That she’s not serious.”
Cavuto fired back, “Well, this ding-dong, Senator, has risen in the polls. And I’m wondering if the strategy to focus on her laugh, or the former president calling her ‘nasty’ and ‘crazy’ really promotes that push to show she’s not up to the job. Does it look petty? Does it say, to judge her on this level, looks like a strategy that could backfire on Republicans?”
Kennedy dismissed Harris as is “a member of the loon-wing of the Democratic Party.”
