‘The Dang Thing Would Explode’: Sen. John Kennedy Suggests Kamala Harris Could Break A Polygraph By Walking Near It

Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana sarcastically remarked during a Saturday night appearance on Fox News that Vice President Kamala Harris could cause a polygraph machine to blow up by simply walking near it.

Harris has escalated attacks on former President Donald Trump, most recently labeling him a “fascist” during a CNN town hall on Wednesday. While speaking to Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, Kennedy said that Harris is falling behind Trump because Americans are “uncertain” about what she would do if elected to the presidency.

“It’s worth examining why Vice President Harris is now behind,” Kennedy told Kilmeade. “I think she’s behind because of all her gauzy rhetoric. People are uncertain about her. They don’t know if she has the right stuff to be president. They’re worried that she doesn’t, they’re worried that she was that kid in grade school who ate paste, they just don’t know. She hasn’t — she won’t be pinned down, I think in some cases she’s lying. People are worried that if she walked by a polygraph machine, the dang thing would explode.”

“People want to know what their president is going to do,” Kennedy continued. “Now, I’ll tell you the other thing that’s changed in this race other than the vice president behind. Vice President Harris has adopted a new strategy. Joy is out. She’s adopted the Hillary Clinton deplorable strategy of 2016, which is if you vote for President Trump, you are a bad person.”
