Sen. Kennedy (R-La.) to Trudeau: ‘If You’re Going to Be a Smartass, First You Have to Be Smart, Otherwise You’re Just an Ass’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: “You say follow the science, Mr. Prime Minister. Let’s follow the science. We look around, we see the Omicron variant, its virulence waning, most of us have immunity. We are either natural or we are vaccinated. So what, Mr. Prime Minister, is your road map for getting government off our backs and allowing us to get back to normal? Now, here's the Prime Minister’s response. Instead of saying, 'Fair question, let’s sit down and talk about it,' his plan for convincing the truckers that they are wrong is by saying, 'You’re a bunch of stupid idiots.' Here’s what I hear the Prime Minister saying to the truckers: 'Look, truckers, I’m smart, you’re not. I’m educated, you’re not. I drink caramel frappuccino, you don’t. I eat bacon-wrapped dates and tuna tartare, you don’t even know what that is. So sit down and shut up.' And the truckers' response to the prime minister, well, it’s predictable as well. They are blowing up. Now, I would gently say to the Prime Minister, if you’re going to be a smartass, first you have to be smart. Otherwise you’re just an ass. And I think he needs to recalibrate and realize what this is all about."
