GOP Senator Roasted Over This 'Idiot' Take On Manhattan Mass Shooting
HuffPost
Social media critics reminded Sen. John Kennedy exactly how he could respond to such violence.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) joined Fox News on Monday to dismiss legislation aimed at preventing gun violence just hours after a gunman killed four people in an office building in New York City’s Midtown Manhattan neighborhood.
Kennedy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “all you can do in a time like this is be sorry” for the victims of the mass shooting before predicting that some of his colleagues will call for more gun control laws on Tuesday morning.
“We’ve got hundreds of gun control laws, Sean. Maybe thousands,” he said.
He later added, “We don’t need more gun control, we need more idiot control. And I don’t know exactly how to do that but I do know this — I don’t want to hear anyone feeling sorry for this guy who did this.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Kennedy entertained the return of a “more aggressive” version of the controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing strategy in New York City, one that was found unconstitutional in 2013 as evidence showed it was used to frequently target Black and Hispanic people.
