Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed President Joe Biden for complaining about the media’s coverage of him as the reason for his unpopularity in polling, pointing to his policies, especially those concerning the border, that make him “as popular as herpes.”
“The truth is that most members of the media tried to help him,” Kennedy told Hannity. “But in Louisiana, President Biden is as popular as herpes.”

“People of Louisiana are not stupid,” the senator continued. “They think the Biden administration is. They think it is stupidity run from the river to the sea. Exhibit A is the open border. President Biden has dissolved the southern border. Our problems at the southern border are man-made. And that man’s name is Joe Biden.”
Kennedy also said that he is confident there will not be a supplemental appropriations bill passed in the Senate “unless we take steps to secure the border.”

The Republican senator’s comments follow Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to Mexico this week.
Blinken, alongside other U.S. officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, met with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday to discuss amnesty for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients as talks continue on a bipartisan border security deal aimed at stemming the flow of illegal migration.
