Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) recently dismissed criticism from celebrities directed at supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, labeling their opinions as “goofy.” The Louisiana senator’s comments came following actress Sharon Stone’s belief that the U.S. is in an era of “ignorant, arrogant adolescence” after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Kennedy defended Trump supporters, stating that they are often attacked by those who also hold disdain for historical figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and iconic figures such as Mr. Potatohead and Dr. Seuss. He emphasized that everyone is entitled to their opinions, but noted that some critics possess an unwarranted sense of moral superiority.
The senator also criticized celebrities like Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) who advocate for green energy and electric vehicles, highlighting the importance of individual decision-making in the adoption of these technologies. Kennedy viewed Newsom as a “featherweight” and aligned him with other “superficial” individuals in Washington, D.C.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy echoed Kennedy’s sentiments, questioning Newsom’s strategy of providing rebates for electric vehicle purchases and eliminating tax credits for these cars, suggesting that the governor’s political future may be in jeopardy after his term ends.
In conclusion, Kennedy encouraged Americans to remain proud of their beliefs and choices, extending Thanksgiving wishes to all while reinforcing the importance of individual freedom and decision-making.
