John Kennedy Explains Why Pelosi’s House Coronavirus Bill Is As ‘Dead As Fried Chicken’

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s proposed $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill as “dead as fried chicken” in the Senate.

Appearing on Tuesday night’s “Hannity,” Kennedy said Pelosi had gone from “folly to farce” with all the spending proposals included in the HEROES Actintroduced Tuesday, a spending package meant to address the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus.

“I don’t think any of us, not those of us in good faith, want to see permanent damage done to our economy,” Kennedy told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “That’s why I am so disappointed in speaker Pelosi’s bill. I think it will set us back. In my opinion, the speaker has moved from folly to farce, and when I saw it, it reminded me of that old Jack Nicholson line. ‘Go sell crazy somewhere else. We’re all stocked up here.'”
