Senator Kennedy Urges Trump to Take Charge of House GOP After Speaker Johnson’s CR Debacle

SENATOR KENNEDY: "I saw what you saw. I mean, it's a multiple vehicle pileup. I knew as soon as I saw the bill, it was going to be trouble. The thing was as big as a Costco. And Speaker Johnson had to add a lot of spending p*rn to get the Democrats on board."

"This can be fixed. Here's what if I were king for a day, I'm not, and I don't aspire to be. Here's what I do."

"First, I would tell everybody to take their meds. Number two, I think President Trump is going to have to consider coming to Washington. I mean, let's face it. He's the president now. It's not President Biden."

"President Trump needs to sit down with Mike Johnson and [Senate GOP leader] John Thune and come up with a new skinny C.R. If the president wants to do something on the debt limit, we need to find out what it is and put it in the bill."
