Sen. John Kennedy: ‘Iran Is Effectively Run by Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining!”’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: “Now look, I am in awe of the solemnity of where we are. We're fighting another country, powerful country, 90 million people. But here's what I see. I see a country that is run by Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining.' These are religious zealots. If you don't agree with their version of Islam, you have to die. I see a bunch of religious zealots who are determined to get a nuclear warhead. They're never going to stop. I see religious zealots running a country that even after we bombed their nuclear facilities in June, they've already started back, and they've lied about it. I see a powerful country that's amassing anywhere from 200 to 600 missiles a month, a month, so that eventually they'll have enough missiles to threaten the whole world and prevent us from doing something about their nuclear capability. I see a powerful country of religious zealots at the leadership level who, if they get a nuclear weapon, will use it.”
