Republican Lousiana Sen. John Kennedy pressed Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, during a Wednesday hearing, asking her if she stood by her previous comments personally attacking senators.
“I have to tell you I’m very disturbed about your personal comments about people. Um, it is not just one or two. I think you deleted about a thousand tweets and it wasn’t just about Republicans. And I don’t mind disagreements in policy, I think that’s great. I love the dialectic, but the comments were personal. I mean, you called Sen. Sanders everything but an ignorant slut,” Kennedy said.

Republican Lousiana Sen. John Kennedy compared the coronavirus vaccine to hot dogs on Friday during an interview with Fox News’ Bill Hemmer.
Kennedy remarked getting the vaccine was “easy peasy” during his interview with Hemmer.
“It was quick, it was painless. Some of my people back home have called me and said we’re scared to take the shot because we don’t know what’s in it,” Kennedy said.
“And I tell them I ask them, do you eat hot dogs? You don’t know what’s in a hot dog either. But you gotta trust somebody. And the most able, perspicacious people in the world have developed this vaccine. The vice president took it today. And once it’s available, you should take it, too. Everybody listening,” Kennedy said.
