On Tuesday, Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana announced that he will be running for re-election in 2022.
And as he has been known to do, he used some colorful language to do it.
The Senator enjoys the endorsement of President Trump.
Sen. Kennedy said in a video he shared on Twitter, “I promise I will always be your voice during the good times and the bad. Come hell or high water, your values will be my values.”
“I will never be silent when the radical nut jobs tell me to sit down and shut up,” the Republican added.
Kennedy then vowed, “I will not let you down. I’d rather drink weed killer.”

In early March, former President Donald Trump endorsed Kennedy for his Senate re-election bid.
In a statement from the Trump’s Save America, the former president gave Kennedy his full endorsement and said the Louisiana senator had a strong record during his time in office.
“John Kennedy of the Great State of Louisiana is a spectacular Senator and person,” Trump said. “He is a tireless advocate for the people of his State, and stands strongly with the forgotten men and women of our Country.”
Trump added that he believed Kennedy was, “Strong on Energy Independence, the Military, our great Vets and the Border.”
“John has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump added.
At the time, Sen. Kennedy told The Daily Caller, “I’m thankful for President Trump’s endorsement of my re-election next year to the U.S. Senate. God bless our country!”

This isn’t the first time Kennedy used creative language – he has a reputation as having quite the personality within the GOP.
Criticizing Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2020, Kennedy said of Pelosi to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, “Sean, with respect, there are times, particularly recently, when I think Speaker Pelosi is one of those people who tried Tide pods,”
Kennedy was referencing the viral trend in 2017 where young people consumed the laundry detergent tablets.

You first sporto.
Point being? Too much koolaid?
Glad to hear it. Senator Kennedy is one of the rare Republicans who stands up against the radical left Dems, their RINO buddies and the D.C. swamp. Thanks to the left, government has lost all honor and dignity.
Please...drink it!
A Florida man accused of beating an iguana to death has failed in an audacious attempt to get an animal-cruelty case against him dismissed by arguing that the fight was started by the lizard. PJ Nilaja Patterson has been charged with beating, dragging, and kicking the iguana that died of its injuries last September. In a doomed legal strategy, Patterson’s lawyers attempted to use Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which allows deadly force to be used if a person believes that it’s necessary to prevent them from being killed. “In this case, Patterson acted in a reasonable manner under all the circumstances because the wild iguana was first to engage with physical violence,” his lawyers argued. They claimed the lizard bit Patterson’s arm so he “kicked the iguana as far as he could,” fearing that it may “have injected poison” into him. Assistant State Attorney Alexandra Dorman argued back: “Stand Your Ground does not even apply to this case because the iguana is not a human being.” Judge Jeffrey Gillen ultimately denied the motion last Friday.
I believe this man!
Yeah, you're vocal, but you accomplish nothing! You are like Lindsey Graham, crying-wolf-dog-whistler-DO-NOTHING-thereafter.
Tired of all the whining and losing! Fix your losing team!
