Sen. Kennedy Warns Trump To Ignore Democrats And Media Who Say He’s ‘Crazy’

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) warned President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans not to waver from their course just because their critics in the Democratic Party and legacy media called them “crazy.”

Speaking to Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, Kennedy argued that the naysayers before the flood had also called Noah crazy — but history eventually proved him right and them inconsequential.

The naysayers are going to start calling Republicans crazy very soon.

But they said the same thing to Noah, and then the rains came, and all the fact-checkers drowned.

MacCallum pressed Kennedy about President Trump’s first 100 days in office, asking whether the American people could expect to see rapid progress toward fulfilling the president’s planned agenda.

“Point one, Martha, one bill or two, frankly you can teach it round or you can teach it flat,” Kennedy said. “I don’t really give a function whether it’s one bill or two. I care about the final product.”

He went on to encourage members of his party not to lose sight of their goals when the attacks inevitably began.

“My advice to my colleagues and to the president is, number one, don’t get distracted,” he said. “Very shortly the honeymoon will be over. My Democratic colleagues and many members of the media will start calling us, particularly the president, crazy. They said the same thing about Noah, and then the rains came — and all the fact-checkers drowned.”

“We need to keep our focus on why we’re here,” Kennedy added, noting that Republicans had to push particularly hard on the issues that he said had gotten Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign over the line: “Inflation, border security, national security, and the fact that Vice President Harris and President Biden staffed their administration with a bunch of people who majored in online activism and with a minor in puberty blockers.”

“All they wanted to do was sit around all day and talk about climate change and whether a man can breastfeed,” he quipped, noting that he didn’t expect any help from across the aisle in dealing with those four issues — but that Republicans had to hold the line on them just the same.
