Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) ridiculed Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who have been nicknamed the “squad,” calling the Congresswomen “whack jobs” and asserting they’re “destroying the Democratic Party.”
Kennedy, appearing on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on July 16, said that President Donald Trump’s tweets about some Congresswomen going home to fix their countries was “a poor choice of words” but said he doesn’t believe Trump is a racist or that Trump’s original tweet was racist.
