Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) defended remarks this week in which he called Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “dumb," saying that his comments were “accurate.”
“Well, I didn't mean disrespect,” he said Friday on Fox News, “but I do think what I said was accurate.”
“Let me say it again: I think that what Speaker Pelosi is doing here is not only dumb, but it's dangerous," he said, referring to the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry led by Pelosi.
"It's a partisan impeachment, clearly," he continued. "All impeachments, I guess, are political. But, this one's 100 percent political and it's going to establish a new norm for America that I think is bad for us.”

I could think of other words besides "dumb", but, it will do for now.

I can't tell you how pleased I am that Kennedy is my senator!
The other day on the radio they had an interesting segment. They read a quote and you had to guess if it was said by Kennedy or Foghorn Leghorn. It was not easy.

I wish they could clone this guy for us. I would love to have him for our Senator in PA. He is such a breath of fresh air.

As the President said to her face, she is also 3rd rate politician.

To #3's post, I searched, and found my favorite: "You're pretty much like a rock — only dumber."

‘Dumb’ certainly got our attention. ‘Dangerous’ deserves more scrutiny. A very dangerous precedent is being set and the Dims just may rue the day.

This is the only Kennedy I've ever supported. Comments after the article reflect just what we're up against.

I think she is really brilliant compared to the really stupid voters who keep electing her.

I don't believe Nancy is dumb. She is suffering from Alzheimers of dementia.
She wasn't always dumb. You don't get to be Speaker by being dumb.
But she has lost it.
Her mind has left her in the lurch.

Thank you Senator for not apologizing like your fellow Republicans often do. Pelosi is not only dumb, but also malicious.
At a very young age, most of us are taught about right and wrong. Obviously, she did not learn that basic life lesson. What she's doing is wrong and bad for the American people. And since she's in charge of the House, she'll be the one who ultimately will be blamed for this travesty of justice. I hope she and that piece of Schiff creep get to experience the malevolence of this wrongdoing.

Pelosi is NOT dumb, she is simply IGNORANT and EGOTISTICAL. She, and most like her in Congress, think they are the rulers of the Universe. If she was rational she would have never caved to the LEFT. She could have cooperated with Trump and been a hero; Instead she is a twisted fool making absolutely stupid, irrational statements and supporting insane policies.

At least the very good thing to come out of this is Kennedy, from my former home state of Louisiana, didn't apologize or back down. Too many Republicans would 'walk it back' to add to that like Dr. Dutton would say Pelosi and her ilk are 'mutants'.

One doesn't have to be "dumb" to do dumb things but in Pelosi's case, she has both bases covered.

#5, it's been a long time since Pennsylvania produced a good politician at any level. Even the Republicans are controlled by the labor unions, the Turnpike Commission, PennDot, the PSEA and of course, the liberal bases in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

He's my Senator, and I hope he stays my Senator for a while longer. He's definitely a keeper!

I would not describe Pelosi as dumb. Words such as immoral, dishonest and evil come to mind. Combine this with being speaker of the House, makes her extremely destructive and dangerous.

I think Kennedy exaggerated a bit out of politeness. Nasty, nutty Nan isn't really bright enough to reach up to "dumb".

Mad Max and others have said some pretty unflattering things about the President but no one criticizes them. So tired of the double standard!

I can think of some other choice words to call that lunatic hag from San Francisco, but I am going to retrain myself. Too bad more Republicans don't have the guts to call a spade a spade.

An indication of how dumb she now is her putting the entire future of the Dem party in the hands of Schiff for Brains.
