John Kennedy gave one response to the New Orleans terror attack that left Americans uneasy
The terrorist attack in New Orleans shocked the nation’s conscience.
But there may be even more bad news coming down the pike.
And John Kennedy gave one response to the New Orleans terror attack that left Americans uneasy.
42-year-old Army veteran Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar declared allegiance to ISIS and then plowed a truck into a crowd on the streets of New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Jabbar murdered 15 innocents in his act of terror.
A furious Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) went on Fox News to put the Biden administration on notice that this was no time for games.
“There’s a fine line between anger and grief and I’m pretty much straddling that line right now. If you don’t believe in objective evil, all you need to do is walk about 30 or 40 yards that way, we’ve still got bodies on the ground. That’s one of the reasons we postponed the game,” Kennedy told host Aishah Hasnie.
Kennedy said that the federal authorities investigating this matter better not come to him and tell him they don’t have the resources necessary to get to the bottom of how this attack happened.
“I’m here for two reasons: One, these are my people, these are my people’s guests. Number two, I don’t want to hear from anybody in the federal government that they don’t have the resources,” Kennedy continued.
Kennedy also said he was willing to give the FBI and Homeland Security a fair chance to run an investigation, but that his patience wasn’t unlimited.
“Now, the White House, the FBI, Justice, Homeland Security are in charge now. We’re cooperating with them. I want to give them a reasonable period of time,” Kennedy added.
“There is a lot of information out there, some of it is actually true. I want to give them a reasonable period of time. But they need to saddle up and ride. We need to find out what happened here,” Kennedy stated.
But Fox News viewers sat up and took notice when Hasnie asked Kennedy if the government had information that ISIS planned to target any other American cities.
“I can’t answer that,” Kennedy answered. “I can, but I won’t.”
Kennedy closed with another warning to Joe Biden that he won’t stand for a cover-up in this case like the one going on with the first Trump assassination attempt where nearly six months later the American people know nothing about the gunman, his motive, or how he managed to come within a quarter of an inch of killing the future President.
“I sat there and watched a 21-year-old kid outsmart the entire Secret Service of the United States and almost kill a former president, who is soon-to-be current president, and we still don’t have information, and that’s not going to happen this time,” Kennedy declared.
