Sen. John Kennedy Praises Nebraska, Says He Loves It More Than Sex

Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, recently drew attention for his colorful remarks about Nebraska, stating at a rally that he loves the state more than sex. The senator made the assertion on Sunday while attending the annual Nebraska Steak Fry at the Cass County Fairgrounds, where he was campaigning for Senate candidate Pete Ricketts.

Kennedy, known for his folksy style, drew laughter from the crowd when he declared his affection for Nebraska, adding, "Not really, OK, but I love Nebraska." He emphasized that his primary reason for being there was to support Ricketts and the Republican cause, not just to praise the state.

Before his notable comment, Kennedy compared and contrasted his home state of Louisiana with Nebraska. He humorously noted the differences in their local wildlife and cuisine. "When you pass a ditch here in Nebraska, you look at it and go, ‘Oh, there’s a ditch.’ In Louisiana, we see dinner," Kennedy quipped. He invited the audience to visit Louisiana for its food, with the caveat to "don’t ask too many questions."

Beyond the lighthearted comparisons, Senator Kennedy also addressed the upcoming elections, warning the approximately 800 attendees about what he described as the "high stakes" involved. He criticized the "DC Democrats" and their "truly radical ideology," suggesting that the Democratic Socialists pose a threat. Kennedy characterized Ricketts’ opponent, Dan Osborn, as someone who would effectively act as a far-left Democrat.

The senator also shared his views on national economic matters, stating his belief that President Trump would facilitate the U.S. withdrawal from Iran within six months, leading to lower gas prices and reduced inflation. He also paid tribute to Nebraska's agricultural sector, telling the audience, "Without farmers, you’d be hungry. You’d be naked. You’d be sober."
