The comments were made on Fox &amp; Friends. The Senator did not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The Louisiana senator said the president had a \u201cmissed opportunity\u201d in the speech to address the issues directly impacting the American people. The president attacked former President Donald Trump and \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d (MAGA) Republicans for their alleged \u201cextremism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-inc=\"1\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019d make three points. Number one, after listening to the president\u2019s speech, I really understand why it\u2019s an unassailable fact that age does not guarantee wisdom,\u201d Kennedy began. \u201cNumber two \u2026 Biden, we saw last night, was really every inch \u2018Joe Biden the Politician.\u2019 His speech was a very cynical attempt to fill our heads with stupid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cAnd number three, I thought to myself, what a missed opportunity,\u201d the senator continued. \u201cTo talk to the American people straight up about the reasons [for] when they lie down and sleep at night, they can\u2019t. He could\u2019ve talked about crime; inflation; learning loss by our children; the mountains of fentanyl coming across the border, killing our teenagers. Instead, he chose to say to the American people, if you don\u2019t agree with me about higher taxes, more government; if you don\u2019t agree with me that moms are \u2018birthing people;\u2019 if you don\u2019t agree with me that government has a constitutional right to talk to your 5-year-old about sexuality, you\u2019re a bad person, and you\u2019re not even an American.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/08\/26\/jean-pierre-republicans-fascism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">doubled down<\/a> on calling \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d extremists, threats to democracy and comparing their philosophy to \u201csemi-fascism.\u201d She <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/09\/01\/white-house-extremist-dont-agree-majority-americans-abortion-semi-fascism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> during a press briefing Thursday that those who disagree with the \u201cmajority of Americans\u201d are \u201cextreme.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-inc=\"5\"><strong>\u201cAnd again, we see [a] majority of Americans who disagree, and so when you are not with where a majority of Americans are, then that is extreme, that is an extreme way of thinking,\u201d Jean-Pierre said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"5\">Based on President Biden&#8217;s approval ratings, the majority of Americans do not agree with his policies, so who is extreme? Is it the minority who agree with President Biden or the majority who don&#8217;t?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoy listening to Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.
