Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., gave his thoughts on what he considers to be a divide in the Democratic Party amid fallout from the longest government shutdown<\/a> in U.S. history in an interview Thursday on “Will Cain Country.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

One impact of the shutdown, according to the senator from Louisiana, is the potential political shakeup within the Democratic Party that will land at the feet of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Senator Schumer gambled, and he lost,” Kennedy said. “He\u2019s kind of walking around now looking like a guy who just lost his luggage.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think his testicles are on back order from China,” he added.<\/p>\n

The power struggle, he said, is between what he called the “Bolshevik wing” of the party<\/a> and old-guard politicians like Schumer. Schumer, Kennedy said, understands the “loons” within his party, but is “scared of them.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “socialist” wing of the party, according to Kennedy,” is led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.<\/a> The folksy senator acknowledged AOC’s media prowess but argued she doesn\u2019t have much to offer policy-wise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The congresswoman is a creation of the media,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve never heard anybody describe her as a policy maven. My experience with her is if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kennedy also proposed ideas to stop shutdowns in the future: No pay for members of congress while the government isn\u2019t open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another idea he suggested was ensuring that members of Congress stay “within 100 miles of Washington, D.C.” during a shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you do that, the shutdowns, if you have any, will be very short,” Kennedy said. “Now I can\u2019t pass the second provision, but I think I can pass the provision saying that none of us can be paid during a shutdown.”<\/p>\n

Kennedy said he did not take any of his salary during the shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News host Will Cain also asked the Louisiana senator about his thoughts on the filibuster<\/a>, a buzzword that emerged time and time again during the 43-day shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A filibuster is a tactic used to impede or delay the Senate<\/a> from completing its business by a small group \u2014 or sometimes even just one \u2014 of senators. To override a filibuster, 60 votes are needed by a party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The president called me last week \u2014 he\u2019s dug in like a tick on getting rid of the filibuster. I told him, I kind of like the filibuster; I didn\u2019t when I first came to the Senate,” Kennedy said. “But a senator\u2019s job, I have learned, is not just to advance good ideas, it\u2019s to kill bad ideas.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He went on to reflect on what he said were “all of the bad ideas” proposed during former President Joe Biden\u2019s time in office, saying that they would all be laws now if not for the filibuster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump repeatedly urged Republicans to override the filibuster during the shutdown, saying they should use what he called the “nuclear option.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
