“It’s Hard to Believe Someone Could Be So STUPID”: Senator Kennedy’s Blistering Critique Destroys Mamdani

🤯 Sen. John Kennedy Unleashes Scathing Attack: Labels Progressive Wing ‘The Loon Wing,’ Decries ‘Contempt for America’

Washington, D.C. – The Democratic Divide

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), a fixture known for his colorful and often pointed commentary, delivered a harsh assessment of the Democratic Party’s internal struggles, labeling the ascendant progressive movement the “Loon Wing” and accusing its key figures of holding “contempt” for the United States.

Speaking on a national news program, Kennedy contended that the traditional, mainstream leadership of the Democratic Party—figures like former President Obama, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, and current leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries—have been rendered politically irrelevant by a radical, socialist fringe.

“Unless you have the IQ of a meat thermometer, you can see that there’s a split in the Democratic Party,” Kennedy declared.

The core of Kennedy’s criticism was directed at the political power and ideology of socialist figures like Mr. Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and Bernie Sanders, arguing that their influence is now dominating the party’s platform.

💥 The Ideological Core: Socialism and Contempt

Senator Kennedy did not mince words when discussing the political beliefs of this progressive faction, which he dubbed the “Loon Wing.”

Socialism and Control

Kennedy asserted that these leaders are “socialists, neo-socialists” whose fundamental goal is to expand governmental power and control over individual lives.

“They want government to control your life and tell you how to live it,” he claimed.

He added a sharp, personal critique of the intellectual capacity required to hold such views: “It’s hard to believe that anyone can fit that much stupid into their head, but they can.”

Contempt as the Defining Trait

Beyond ideology, Kennedy argued that the defining characteristic of this group is contempt, not just political opposition, but a fundamental disdain for the nation itself.

“The defining characteristic of this group is contempt,” Kennedy stressed. “To be a member of their club, you have to have contempt for America. Not gratitude… you have to believe that America was wicked when it was founded and that it’s more wicked today.”

This belief system, Kennedy suggested, leads to a rejection of foundational American history and culture, explaining why, in his view, they “all hate George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head.”

Furthermore, he accused this wing of believing America is “irredeemable” and must be “burned down”—a radical stance that, he believes, terrifies mainstream Democrats.

😨 Mainstream Democrats’ Retreat

A significant portion of Kennedy’s commentary focused on the perceived failure of the Democratic Party’s establishment to challenge the progressive flank.

Kennedy argued that mainstream Democrats are “scared to death of the Loon Wing” and have consequently stopped speaking up or standing for anything cohesive. He characterized their current political stance as simply being “against whatever President Trump stands for.”

Kennedy pointed to the example of a recent controversy over crime in Washington, D.C., suggesting that mainstream Democrats came out “firmly and passionately in favour of crime in Washington, D.C.,” merely because Donald Trump was trying to implement solutions to it.

“We find ourselves in the extraordinary position of mainstream Democrats have now come out firmly and passionately in favour of crime in Washington, D.C., because Trump is trying to do something about it,” Kennedy argued.

💪 A Call for Courage

The Senator closed with a direct and colorful challenge to the Democratic leadership, particularly Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

“I know Senator Schumer very well. I say this with respect… They need to go to Amazon and buy some [courage] and stand up to the Loon Wing of their party,” Kennedy advised.

He highlighted that this inaction emboldens the progressive elements, noting, “I haven’t heard Senator Schumer say anything bad about Mamdani. The guy’s a socialist.” Kennedy concluded that until the established leadership shows the political courage to confront the progressive agenda, they will remain captive to its demands and ideology.
