“Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) badgered a Muslim witness during a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and repeatedly asked her if she supports Hamas.
Maya Berry is the executive director of the Arab American Institute and testified about hate crimes in the U.S. In the hearing, Kennedy initiated a line of questioning in which he repeatedly suggested she supports Hamas. The senator appeared irked at Berry’s past criticism of the U.S. for pulling funding from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, or UNRWA. Israel accused a handful of workers in the agency of being involved in the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. An extensive U.N. investigation found that nine of its more than 30,000 employees may have been involved in the attacks. It is the only intergovernmental organization that provides funding to Gaza.”

O my god. He is insane. Head in bag what kind of a person is he. Give her a chance to respond. Mr Kennedy. You should retire. You are too old for this. Stand up for humanity. The American people are not stupid anymore. Just for the record. We don’t trust people like you. What kind of question is this. Yes or no. O my goodness
Shouldn't she have asked/replied: "Senator, are You even an american citizen since you don't speak english? At least not without a silly made up southern accent?"
Hey bartender and single mom, is the bar providing healthcare? The republicans want to get rid of healthcare, medicare, social security, and tips. Maybe learn something before going on a commercial for the party that wants to make your life harder.
These right wingers are making it hard for Ana to make her heel turn to the GOP.
Well, Kennedy, you support Donald Trump Trump
Sen Kennedy should be ousted!
He needs to be removed in fact remove and sent packing from the city of Washington, DC.
Kennedy can be described in two words starting with A: number 1: A Hole!! Number 2: ATROCITY. He shits on the seat he holds SHAME
He is a piece of trash. She should have replied " f××k y×u"
It would be really nice to see someone giving testimony linke this say, "i find your comments extremely racist and repugnant." Please, we have to call these people out for what they are ON THE RECORD.
Kennedy is great 👍
This senile racist bigot needs to step down. He's disgraceful and beneath the dignity of a functioning Senate.
Senile racist bigot needs to step down. He's beneath the dignity of a functioning Senate for this or any Banana Republic.
He proved her point that America is a sick racist country at war with the rest of the world, with no respect for the UN or any international law.
Kennedy is an embarrassment to the Senate. I didn't think it would be possible to be that much of a brainless hack.
Not shocking
why this brainless bigot still in the Senate?
Kennedy is a garbage
Senator Kennedy is both senile and racist
What a way to destroy the faux Royalty of U.S Politics…this dick… and the disgrace that is Robert Kennedy Jnr.
Just remember, Republicans are convinced that Democrats are the racists….
SMH
he is an embarrassment for Louisiana
so my tax money is going to pay for this guy's salary and health insurance ? what a waste
How did this idiot become a senator?
He is sick and a sad sad human. You know these people are miserable and stupid. Have pity on the ignorant! Vote blue so they can go away!
It was Christians and not Muslims who attacked our nation's capitol and Forcing their Theocracy on everyone!
Louisiana has a racist POS for a senator
Senator Kennedy cannot hear this poor woman saying, "I do NOT support HAMAS" because he can only hear the hateful demons inside his head telling him evil things 24/7. It is amazing to hear these threats coming from a US Senator, saying this woman's HEAD belongs in a BAG!
Senator Kennedy should be impeached/removed for being a threat to society, his words are very dangerous, they have NO MERIT! Where is his evidence? As usual they speak for the demons in their heads. Shameful and disgusting! They need to be held accountable for the dangerous lies they tell!
