Current Events > Sen. John Kennedy goes on gross racist tirade against Muslim-American at hearing

(+) Yeah! (+)

You support UNRA and Hamas, don't you? ... You should hide your head in a bag."

This is Maya Berry, the executive director of the Arab American Institute, at a senate hearing regarding hate crimes against marginalized groups. Here is the Senator from Louisiana's line of questioning:

To think Rob is not even the worst one at the moment...ugh.

I hate this man more than most republicans because I know it's all an act to him. Everything about him is fake. He's acting this way because he believes the Republican voters are idiots. And he's right.

Kennedys just arent what they used to be.

He's not part of that Kennedy Family. Really that family only have one black sheep.

Keep in mind this guy went to Oxford. He knows better but doesn't care since his donors tell him to be this way.

Most disgusting thing he's said without the phrase "strap-on" in it.

He's the only black sheep I would say is still alive

My dude, Ted Kennedy drunkenly drove his car off a bridge and left his passenger to die, and Joseph Kennedy lobotomized his own daughter.

Okay I clearly didn't know what I was talking about.

what a ghoul. fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.

Come on, Lobotomy was the "In" thing do for rich people in the 1940s...

Give me a yes or no question to this complicated query that has many constituent elements that fundamentally requires nuance and multiple premises deconstructed to even attempt to answer
"Well I-"
YES OR NO

fuck this guy

"whats the united nations reliefe and works agency" mother fucker does not even know what this is about

I fucking hate conservatives dude

"I don't support them"

"YOU CANT SAY YOU DONT SUPPORT"

CLEARLY senile and must vacant his seat, blinded by racism and age

How about we stop derailing this with a Kennedy History class and focus on how vile this human piece of shit is. But a perfect representation of the modern Republican Party.

I fucking hate these shitbags with the heat of a million suns.

She did say "No" multiple times, but of course he can't pop off if he let's her explain why even asking her that question is racist in the first place.

This is what happens when you never see consequences for talking shit.

I was hoping she would bring up that she had already said NO 4 times and if he was in need of medical attention due to not being able to understand the English language.

He never heard any of her answers because he already decided who she was and constantly ovetalked her like the piece of shit he is

Just wow

And of course the mainstream media (including CNN) have nothing about this.

What a useless person.

Oh they'll paint her as the villain regardless. May as well go for the throat. Call him a senile old fool who should step down if his brain is so addled that he keeps forgetting his question was answered multiple times already.

He looks so proud of himself after that head in a bag comment, what an absolute shit stain

I think there is a Kennedy who has long been suspected of murder, from like in the 70s. But I don't remember which one

Conservative media will probably play this interaction with key moments of her replies edited out to make it look like she just can't answer him

Her keeping calm in that situation is impressive.

Personally, I would have called Foghorn Leghorn a chicken fucker if I was in her seat.

Michael Skakel?

You can remove the "probably" from that. That's literally what they're going to do and why this PoS said what he said in the first place.

After looking him up, yes that might be who I was thinking of

The arrogance and self-importance to even speak to another person that way is just mind-blowing.

Him: You support X, do you not?
Her: No.
Him: You support Y, too, do you not?
Her: No.
Him: You support X, don't you? You can't bring yourself to say you don't support X and Y. You should be ashamed!

Kennedy is a genuine piece of shit, maybe second only to Ted Cruz in that regard.

Honestly, she should sue him for defamation. It's hard to argue she's a public figure since before this hearing no one even knew who she was, and the malice is unquestionable.

It's time to stop giving carefully thought out and dignified answers to these people.

The proper response should have been "Senator Kennedy, you support the KKK and cousin-fucking, do you not?" And don't even let him reply. Keep saying "You just can't bring yourself to say no can you?"

She would have gotten a round of applause in the room and be a hero online.

Holy shit at this! I just read up on it, dear god that is terrible what happened.
