Sen. John Kennedy (Yes, he’s a Republican, despite the name) was on Tucker Carlson’s show last night, where he RIPPED into this supposed “squad” everyone keeps talking about.

-"the reason there are directions on a shampoo bottle"
-"wack jobs"

Yes. All true. But note that only CHRISTINA brought up race.
HOW RACIST OF YOU, CHRISTINA!
