"After welcoming Kennedy to the program, host Ainsley Earhardt played a clip of Schumer arguing that, We're fighting for the American people. And it's not just one small group of American people that want this, it's across the board, Fifty-five percent of Trump voters, hardly a flank in our party, want this. That's why we're doing it. Senator, he wants $1.5 trillion added to this for health care, added Earhardt before asking Kennedy for his reaction, which he gladly offered:"
"Well, I listened to the clip of Senator Schumer. His relationship with the truth is very casual. The truth is that this is a political shutdown. Senator Schumer is-, he's nervous as a pregnant nun about losing his re-election to the socialist wing of his party, led by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, which is in control. Now, we will eventually come out of this shutdown. Here's how I think it will happen."
"Now, he'll say, I can't vote with you, I've got to appear to be tough, I may even have to criticize you, but wink, wink, nod, nod, I'm trying to make the loon wing of the party love me, but you bail me out here. But he's gotta be careful with that because he doesn't want it to look like a mutiny."
Senator John Kennedy appeared on Fox & Friends to ridicule Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's handling of the government shutdown. A clip played of Schumer claiming the fight was for the American people and citing broad support, including 55 percent of Trump voters, and an alleged $1.5 trillion health care addition. Kennedy called the shutdown political, accused Schumer of a casual relationship with the truth, and described Schumer as "nervous as a pregnant nun" over pressure from the socialist wing led by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. Kennedy predicted Schumer would quietly seek colleagues to lift the shutdown while publicly appearing tough, warning against appearing mutinous.
