U.S. Senator John Kennedy, who represents Louisiana in the United States Senate, posted a series of statements on social media addressing topics ranging from women’s sports to criticisms of policy makers and allegations of fraud within a community in Minneapolis.
On January 13, 2026, Kennedy wrote: “Our nation has fought hard to give girls and women a fair shot in college and professional sports. Taking a wrecking ball to that progress to satisfy activists would be dead wrong. Protecting girls shouldn’t be controversial—it’s common sense. The Supreme Court should uphold”.
Later that day, he commented on the decision-making abilities of officials in Washington, stating: “There are a lot of smart people in Washington, but that doesn’t mean they have any common sense. Americans are sick of high-IQ stupid people trying to run their lives.”
On January 14, 2026, Kennedy addressed alleged financial crimes involving members of Minneapolis’ Somali community: “After stealing from the mouths of poor people, some thieves in Minneapolis’ Somali community took expensive vacations, bought cars and jewelry, and sent taxpayer money back to Somalia. Pass me the sick bucket.”
Senator Kennedy serves on several Senate committees including Appropriations, Budget, Energy and Natural Resources and chairs one focused on banking, housing and urban affairs (official website). He maintains offices throughout Louisiana—in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Monroe, New Orleans and Shreveport—as well as one in Washington D.C., providing constituent services such as assistance with federal agencies and academy nominations (official website). His legislative efforts focus on supporting veterans, farmers, small businesses and national security while engaging constituents through newsletters and public events.
