Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy is inarguably the most witty person in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n

With a folksy quip or quotation always at the ready, Kennedy<\/a> can effortlessly dismantle an opponent\u2019s argument with his deadpan delivery while keeping the whole room in stitches.<\/p>\n

And the reason why his delivery hits so well is that he makes sense \u2014 the common kind, which has become almost extinct in these woke times.<\/p>\n

For example, discussing some of his Democratic colleagues who support transgender athletes<\/a> in women\u2019s sports on Fox News\u2019<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe Story,\u201d Kennedy once said, \u201cOne of my Democratic colleague\u2019s witnesses testified that there are three biological sexes and an infinite number of genders. I\u2019ve heard better answers on the dating game.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one of his 2022 campaign ads<\/a>, Kennedy asked \u201csomeone\u201d to \u201cplease tell the commander-in-chief<\/a> that neither my car nor the greatest economy in all of human history runs on fairy dust and unicorn urine.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Louisiana<\/a> senator shredded a climate change \u201cexpert\u201d with his poker-faced line of questioning.<\/p>\n

Democrats invited Olympic<\/a> skier Gus Schumacher to testify<\/a> on \u201cThe Nature of Climate Costs,\u201d based on the \u201cprofound alterations to our natural landscape\u201d he had witnessed firsthand in his entire 23 years of life.<\/p>\n

Democrats want to spend $50 TRILLION to become carbon neutral & held a hearing to tell us why.<\/p>\n

Dem witness: Carbon dioxide is \u201ca huge part of our atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Me: \u201cIt\u2019s actually a very small part of our atmosphere.\u201d (0.035%)<\/p>\n

Dem witness: \u201cWell, okay. But, yeah. I don\u2019t know.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/sSdbtsX7aq<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is carbon dioxide?\u201d Kennedy asked Schumacher with a straight face.<\/p>\n

\n

Was Kennedy too hard on the young athlete?<\/p>\n

\n

\nYes: 1% (16 Votes)\n<\/p>\n

\nNo: 99% (1767 Votes)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI went to high school, but that\u2019s uh \u2026 carbon dioxide is a gas,\u201d Schumacher said, looking like he just realized that he was going to be asked questions and not simply taken at his word.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a professional to talk about carbon dioxide,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want us to abolish it, right?\u201d Kennedy asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarbon dioxide is a gas that exists in our atmosphere,\u201d Schumacher said finally, after some embarrassing back-and-forth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it the major part of our atmosphere?\u201d Kennedy asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge part of our atmosphere,\u201d Schumacher responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s actually a very small part of the atmosphere,\u201d Kennedy quickly shot back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell\u2026 ok\u2026 but\u2026 uh\u2026\u201d the athlete responded, \u201cI don\u2019t know \u2026 what are you asking, specifically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you said we need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions,\u201d Kennedy said, \u201cI\u2019d like to know first if you know what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The excruciating interrogation persisted, laying bare the supposed climate change expert\u2019s appalling ignorance, yet Kennedy maintained his composure, his expression entirely devoid of mirth.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dr. Joao Gomes, the economist sitting next to Schumacher, seemed to have a hard time keeping a straight face.<\/p>\n

X users also had some fun at the unfortunate skier that the Democrats thought they could use as a tool to make a climate change point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just like play in the snow and I like noticed the snow wasn\u2019t so snowy anymore,\u201d one post read.<\/p>\n

The entire exchange demonstrates the desperation of the Democratic senators, who seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel in their attempt to prove that we need to spend untold trillions to save endangered \u201coutdoor recreation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old athlete\u2019s testimony was the definition of a \u201cChicken Little\u201d story, as he testified about the dramatic effects of climate change because he had observed less than \u201coptimal skiing conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trotting out someone as monumentally uninformed on the issue as Schumacher was like serving up raw meat to an old, very polite yet deadly grizzly.<\/p>\n\n

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that\u2019s exactly what will happen \u2014 no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can\u2019t do it alone.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Big Tech\u2019s stranglehold is now so tight that <\/span>without help<\/span><\/a> from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we\u2019ll lose it for good. Can we <\/span>count on you<\/span><\/a> to help?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We can do this only with your help. Please don\u2019t wait one minute.<\/span> Donate right now<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for reading,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
