Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) threatened the deep state during a masterful display of rhetoric on the floor of the Senate. Kennedy, one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate, said that the “Justice stick is coming,” and blasted his colleagues for turning their backs on the American people in order to serve powerful political interests.
For context, Donald Trump has been fighting waste, fraud, and mismanagement within the federal government since he took office this year. Most notably, he established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in one of his earliest executive orders and charged it with eliminating redundancies in Washington. Despite the billions saved and high-profile corruption busts, Democrats have opposed the moves and sought to limit DOGE’s power.
Beginning his February 12, 2025, remarks. Sen John Kennedy blasted the democrats for their hypocrisy. He said, “I’m talking about his audits of federal government spending and all of the wasteful spending, I call it spending p*rn that he is finding. And I want to make two quick points.”
Supporting his argument with an example, the Louisiana Republican said, “Number one, it strikes me as breathtakingly ironic. The cynic might say, cynical, that the people who are screaming so loudly about President Trump’s decision to audit federal spending are the very same people under President Biden, who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRS agents with guns to audit the American people!”
Continuing his speech, Kennedy made a humorous quip about DC. He declared, “As I’ve said before, if it weren’t for double standards, there wouldn’t be any standards at all in this town. The battle lines are drawn. Mr. President, the battle lines are drawn. Some of my colleagues have decided to support the bureaucracy and the spending p*rn over the American taxpayer.”
Building on his previous thought, he said, “That’s what they’ve done, and some of the same people, it’s not just my Democratic colleagues. There are many people in Washington, DC, that have grouped together, and they’ve circled the wagons. They’ve decided to support the spending p*rn and the bureaucrats over the American taxpayer.”
Dropping the hammer on the woke Democrats, the senator demolished them in epic style. He joked, “That’s their right. It’s not against the law or unconstitutional to be foolish in America, but these are the same people. These are the same people who chose to support illegal immigration over the rule of law. These are the same people who have chosen… to support teachers’ unions over parents and kids. These are the same people who have chosen to support criminals over cops and victims.

Concluding his remarks, Sen. Kennedy blasted the Democrats for their illogical positions. He stated, “These are the same people who have chosen to support transgender athletes over women’s sports. And these are the same people who have chosen to support Hamas over Israel. They think they’re women. Maybe in this town they are. If you listen to a lot of the pundits up here, if you listen to a lot of the members of Congress in Washington, but they’re not winning in America. The Justice stick is coming, and I’m very proud to be part of that effort.”
