Republican Senator Smacks Down Dems’ Call for Trump Tax Release: ‘It Must Really Suck To Be That Dumb’
https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/author/jluksic/?ff_source=push&ff_medium=conservativetribune&ff_campaign=manualpost&ff_content=2019-04-14 Democrats who insist on seeing President Trump’s tax returns might not want to cross paths with Sen. John Kennedy.
The Louisiana Republican known for speaking his mind didn’t pull any punches during a recent interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Kennedy took aim at Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee who wants Trump’s taxes so badly that he wrote a request to the Internal Revenue Service.
“It must really suck to be that dumb,” Kennedy said during the April 5 Tapper interview, noting that Americans won’t fall for such nonsense. “Words can’t express how much I don’t care. It’s not Mr. Neal’s call.”

Kennedy was speaking not only on behalf of Republicans but for Trump supporters nationwide. If voters were concerned about the man’s taxes, he wouldn’t have won the 2016 election.
Kennedy’s shot across the bow was a bull’s-eye and perhaps the most effective political use of the word “suck” since Ross Perot’s assertion in 1992 about a “giant sucking sound” of American jobs ending up in Mexico.
n a Sunday interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that members of Congress probably wouldn’t know what to make of the president’s tax returns even if they were served up for public consumption.
“My guess is that most of them don’t do their own taxes,” she said.
Sanders sliced congressional Democrats to ribbons and rightfully so. The reality is, the left will do anything to take down the president.
California Rep. Adam Schiff, for instance, has publicly stated, in effect, that he still refuses to believe the Trump 2016 presidential campaign didn’t collude with Russia, even though special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has ended without turning up any evidence of it.
