Sen. John Kennedy asserts 'redistribution and race underpins' Democratic Party pushed left by Sanders, AOC
'Biden may be the nominee of this party, however, Bernie Sanders is the mind of this party, that's clear.'
"here is what I learned from last night," Kennedy told host Sean Hannity, representing about the coming night of the Democratic National Convention. "Vice President Biden could be the nominee of the party, but Bernie Sanders is the head of this party, that is clear.
"And what Senator Sanders has done is fairly breathtaking," Kennedy added. "He and Congresswoman [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez have raised up this party and moved it to the left [so] I hardly recognize it."
Kennedy himself abandoned the Democratic Party in 2007 to become a Republican, once remarking to Roll Call that the Democrats long ago abandoned the concept of the government"protect[ing] people rather than conduct [ing] their lifetimes."
"Their message to America is currently,'Finish schoolfor a job, and work hard so we can take the money that you get and give it to somebody who didn't,'" he told Hannity. "Redistribution and race underpins all their policies and that I don't recognize this Democratic Party."
Kennedy also expressed surprise that the DNC gave a speaking slot to former President Bill Clinton despite his history of sexual misconduct allegations and his impeachment, which originated from his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
"I really don't mean to disrespect himhe was president of the USA, but I was quite surprised that they retained President Clinton on the schedule," the senator said. "I don't understand exactly what this means. Does this mean we are not performing #MeToo anymore or it's only suspended for the night? I hope not. He's very selective at the fact that he accepts."
