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 âfascistâ during a CNN town hall on Wednesday. While speaking to Fox Newsâ Brian Kilmeade, Kennedy said that Harris is falling behind Trump because Americans are âuncertainâ about what she would do if elected to the presidency.

âItâs worth examining why Vice President Harris is now behind,â Kennedy told Kilmeade. âI think sheâs behind because of all her gauzy rhetoric. People are uncertain about her. They donât know if she has the right stuff to be president. Theyâre worried that she doesnât, theyâre worried that she was that kid in grade school who ate paste, they just donât know. She hasnât â she wonât be pinned down, I think in some cases sheâs lying. People are worried that if she walked by a polygraph machine, the dang thing would explode.â
âPeople want to know what their president is going to do,â Kennedy continued. âNow, Iâll tell you the other thing thatâs changed in this race other than the vice president behind. Vice President Harris has adopted a new strategy. Joy is out. Sheâs adopted the Hillary Clinton deplorable strategy of 2016, which is if you vote for President Trump, you are a bad person.â
A July poll by YouGov for The Times showed that 54% of respondents believed that President Joe Bidenâs health issues were covered up, with 68% of those respondents saying they felt Harris had âa lotâ to do with concealing the truth about Bidenâs health. Trump accused Harris of lying about working at McDonaldâs as a teenager, and her campaign has yet to provide evidence suggesting that she did.
Harris has also reportedly backed away from left-wing positions she held during her campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination for president, primarily through statements by campaign aides to reporters.
Trump leads Harris by 0.1% in the RealClearPolling average of polls from Oct. 11 to 26, and maintains that margin when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys.
