A MAGA senator is the target of ridicule after he made an odd demand to see an embattled candidate's lewd texts.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) went on Fox News to talk about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D). Platner was in hot water ahead of the primaries after reporting by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times revealed he had been sending lewd messages to women while he was married.
"I wanna see those text messages," Kennedy demanded. "The sexting."
The odd request prompted cringes as people mocked him.
"Old perv," wrote Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of Meidas Touch. "I bet he does," agreed Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall.
"I bet you do," writer and media consultant Rex Bossert wrote. "But not the Epstein files?"
Others similarly called Kennedy out for his apparent hypocrisy.
"But not the Epstein files," noted writer and podcaster Hemant Mehta.
"Let's see those Trump Epstein files," wrote journalist Bill Huffman. "It's embarrassing how stupid they are. I hate them and they should all lose their jobs asap."
