In this very funny video, Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana goes on a rant about how stupid the chairman of the House Ways and Means committee is, how stupid his rationale for seeking Trump’s taxes is, and how dumb CNN is for believing him.
At one point he says, “it must suck to be so dumb!”
It is a thing of beauty, and it starts at about the 7 minute mark below:
LOL! That was pretty persuasive – especially the point about Chairman Neal arguing that the only reason they’re looking into the taxes is to make sure they’ve been audited correctly. Of course that is ridiculous, and Kennedy calls them out perfectly. You can’t just go off on an angry rant, like so many like to do, it is way more effective if you toss in some humor, which Kennedy does brilliantly.
IN any case, I’m seeing from the Democratic side that some are backing off on the demand, thinking that there’s not enough political demand for them. If they DO continue, it looks like it may go straight to the Supreme Court, where Republicans have a relative advantage. So we’ll see how it goes…
