What did we ever do to deserve Senator John Kennedy?!
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) blasted a bipartisan bill calling for billions in spending on science and technology research as only he could Monday, saying its Republican backers had “swapped brains” with Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was “running around like a 5-year-old in a Batman costume” at the prospect of its passage.
“It is an orgy of spending and very little of the money goes to the military,” the famously folksy Kennedy told Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” of the Endless Frontier Act, which is co-sponsored by seven Republicans — including big names like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Mitt Romney of Utah — and six Democrats, including Schumer.
