‘Buy Some Testicles’: John Kennedy Says Dem Leadership ‘Scared To Death’ Of Party’s ‘Loon Wing’

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said on Wednesday that the Democratic Party’s leadership was frightened of calling out the far-left wing of its party.

Democratic socialists Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have surged to prominence within the Democratic Party. Kennedy argued on “Hannity” that “mainstream” Democrats and party leadership do not condemn radicals out of fear and called on them to find courage to do so — particularly, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

“The mainstream wing of the party is scared to death of the loon wing. They won’t speak up. And they don’t stand for anything anymore. All they stand for is against whatever President Trump stands for,” Kennedy told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “That’s why we find ourselves in the extraordinary position of mainstream Democrats have now come out firmly and passionately in favor of crime in Washington, D.C., Why? Because Trump is trying to do something about it.”

Hannity asked Kennedy if he believed Schumer and Jeffries would ever “stand up to that wing.”

“No, but they could. And I don’t mean any disrespect. I don’t know Mr. Jeffries that well. I know Senator Schumer very well, so I say this with respect: Chuck and Hakeem need to go to Amazon, buy some testicles and stand up to the loon wing of their party,” Kennedy said. “And until they’re willing to do that, I haven’t heard Senator Schumer say anything bad about Mamdani. I mean, the guy’s a socialist. He’s a whackjob. They’re scared to death. And the party is not going to get better until they do.”
