Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy criticized the White House on “Hannity” during a Friday interview for not serving President Joe Biden well following his post-debate sit-down on ABC News with George Stephanopoulos.
During the interview, Biden referred to his debate performance as just a “bad night,” despite ongoing concerns about his mental fitness. The comment came after a clip was shown in which Biden claimed former President Donald Trump was “shouting” at him during the debate—a claim that Fox guest host Kayleigh McEnany quickly labeled as untrue, inviting Kennedy to comment on the situation.
“Well, look, actually, as we all know, the microphones were cut off when it wasn’t the speaker’s turn and I don’t really understand what President Biden was referring to. I do think that the White House is doing their president — our president — a disservice tonight. The White House says that, well — they’re like Kevin Bacon at the end of ‘Animal House’ — ‘All is well, don’t panic. We’ve been transparent the entire time.’ This White House, they wouldn’t know transparency if it jumped up and yodeled and bit them in the butt,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy continued to criticize what he views as a “cover-up” by certain media members regarding President Joe Biden’s mental fitness. This issue has gained traction recently, with more media figures questioning Biden’s capacity to continue as the Democratic nominee and some Democratic commentators suggesting it might be time to consider another candidate.
Additionally, Kennedy brought up the decision by special counsel Robert Hur not to prosecute Biden, referring to Hur’s report which characterized the president as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
“There has been a cover-up and many members of the media have participated in [it]. And now some members of the media, they’re running around going, ‘We’re dumbfounded, we never saw any sign of this.’ And they’re asking, ‘Is the president — can he stand for reelection?’ His own Justice Department, a few months ago, said that he’s not even competent to stand trial. What planet did these people parachute in from? The American people may be poorer under President Biden, but they’re not stupid. And their concerns and suspicions have been confirmed,” Kennedy said.
