GOP Sen. John Kennedy Freaks Out When Reminded He Used To Be A Democrat
"WASHINGTON ― Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Thursday tried to smear one of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees by repeatedly calling her a Marxist, an accusation rooted in nothing other than this nominee being a Democrat.
But his effort backfired spectacularly when the Louisiana Republican was reminded that he, too, used to be a Democrat.
“Are you still a Marxist?” Kennedy asked Melissa DuBose, Biden’s nominee for a U.S. district court in Rhode Island. It was his very first question in DuBose’s nomination hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he gave zero context.
“I am not nor have I ever been a Marxist,” replied DuBose, who is now a state district judge."
