John Kennedy, R-La., made Tuesday about how American voters feel about Vice President Kamala Harris sparked online backlash from the White House and Democratic National Committee (DNC).<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Kennedy made it clear he wasn\u2019t speaking for himself during an appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u2018The Story\u2019 with\u00a0Martha MacCallum, citing recent polling that continues to show high disapproval ratings for Harris and President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m not saying that this is accurate, but I can read a poll, and the American people have concluded that President Biden is old, and he needs soup and an early bedtime,\u2019 the senator said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They have concluded that Vice President Harris is not capable \u2014 that when her IQ gets to 75, she should sell,\u2019 he continued. \u2018Again, I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s fair or accurate, but that\u2019s the conclusion today that the American people have reached. They\u2019re pretty disgusted.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The dig at Harris\u2019 intelligence prompted responses on X, formerly Twitter, from White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates and Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Shameful and undignified comments like these from [Kennedy] start a fire sale on one\u2019s credibility,\u2019 Bates wrote Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bless his heart,\u2019 wrote Harrison. \u2018[G]uess Senator Foghorn is a bit upset that our VP has done more for the working families of Louisiana than he has done over the entirety of his unproductive senate career.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy\u2019s office declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>During his appearance on Fox Tuesday, the senator argued that the Biden administration \u2018has embraced the neo-socialist, woke wing, loon wing of the Democratic Party. I mean, just look around. The American people might be poorer under President Biden, but they\u2019re not stupid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They see an open border. They\u00a0experience inflation. They see the rampant crime,\u2019 he said. \u2018The American people look around and see the world on fire \u2014 the war in Ukraine, the\u00a0war in the Middle East, the embers smoldering in China \u2014 and they have concluded that, fair or unfair.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with CNN on Sunday, Harris reacted to a number of polls showing former President Donald Trump was ahead of President Biden in hypothetical election match-ups, as well as in battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019re going to have to earn our re-elect, there\u2019s no doubt about it,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is absolutely right in a democracy with free and fair elections that the candidates, the people who want to continue in leadership have to make their case, and have to make it effectively,\u2019\u00a0she continued. \u2018And that means communicating in such a way that the message is received about the accomplishments and what we care about.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>According to the RealClearPolitics national average of polls, Harris has a 54.6% unfavorable rating, compared to 36.5% favorable, while Biden has a 55.5% unfavorable rating, compared to 40.6% favorable.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019\u00a0Hanna Panreck contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read this article for free!
