Senator John Kennedy didn’t mince words on Sean Hannity when he roasted Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, telling viewers that whatever Walz says you should believe the opposite and that the governor “learned to lie before he learned to talk.” Kennedy’s blunt, no-nonsense delivery is exactly what voters are tired of not hearing from weak-kneed Democrats who talk law and then reward lawlessness.
Kennedy pushed back hard on the media’s “mostly peaceful” spin for violent anti-ICE demonstrations, even using his trademark dark humor to expose the absurdity of the narrative and why illegal aliens won’t cooperate with law enforcement. Americans watching this carnage on the nightly news understand that policemen and federal agents should be able to do their jobs without mobs of activists interfering.
The senator also tore into the bigger problem: Democratic sanctuary policies that put political virtue signaling ahead of public safety, creating incentives for lawlessness across our cities. Kennedy reminded the country that illegal means illegal, and argued Republicans need to stop wringing their hands and start forcing votes to end sanctuary jurisdictions once and for all.
Watching activists physically block ICE and harass officers in places like Los Angeles shows the result of liberal policies that coddle criminals and demonize police; this isn’t protest, it’s obstruction of justice and it endangers everyday Americans. Conservatives should be unafraid to call out both the chaos and the politicians who enable it, demanding consequences and accountability for those who side with rioters over law enforcement.
If Republicans truly mean what they say about law and order, they must follow Kennedy’s lead and bring concrete legislation to the floor — start by stripping sanctuary protections and restoring respect for federal law. The voters who turn out in every election want results, not op-eds and apologies, and it’s time conservative lawmakers stop apologizing for standing up for American citizens.
