WATCH: Sen. Kennedy Humiliates General Who Called Trump Supporters ‘Fascists’

Sen. John Kennedy’s exchange with Retired Army Maj. Gen. Randy Manner during a recent Senate hearing was nothing short of epic. Kennedy, a master of political discourse, delivered a blistering takedown of Manner’s past comments on President Trump and his supporters during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. Manner was testifying about the incoming administration’s plans for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens.

Manner began his opening statement by highlighting his 35 years of service in the military, including roles such as Deputy Commanding General of the United States Third Army in Kuwait and Acting Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau. He praised the U.S. military, which has become a joke under Joe Biden, as “the envy of the world,” admired by allies and feared by enemies. Manner emphasized the “diverse” backgrounds of military personnel, noting that despite their differences, they are united in upholding values like “duty, honor, integrity, respect, selfless service, loyalty, personal courage, and excellence.”

Manner also expressed “grave concern” about President-elect Trump’s plan to use the military for mass deportations, warning that it could cause “significant harm” to both the military institution and its service members.
