NEW ORLEANS – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) made the following statements surrounding the attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans today:

“For those people who don't believe in objective evil, all you have to do is look at what happened in our city early this morning.

“I'm here because these are my people. I'm here because these are my people's friends. I'm here because there are a lot of Louisianians that are scared tonight. I don't want them to be. There's a lot of information going around. Some of it is actually true. Some of it isn't.  

“The federal government is now in charge of this investigation. By that, I mean the White House, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. . . . I did talk to the Secretary of Homeland Security a little while ago, and I told him that – with all the respect I could muster – that we expect to put the full force and resources of the federal government behind this investigation.”

“Here's what I want to ask from the federal government: Catch these people. Catch these people, and then tell the American people the truth. . . . After we get to the bottom of this, they need to tell the American people the truth, and the people of New Orleans the truth."

When I think of a U.S. Senator from Louisiana, I hear and see Sen. Kennedy. Haha! Of course, this incident is tragic, and all arrows point towards muslim extremism. All the while, the democrat biden administration was hellbent on some sort of white supremacy problem in the military the past 4 years. The democrats and the biden administration were wrong again.
Then the Las Vegas thing has a strong connection to New Orleans. When do the adults takeover? January 20th?
