The Louisiana Senator, who routinely acts more like Foghorn Leghorn than a US Senator on TV, took a circuitous route to finally tell Fox and Friends that he is voting to raise the ceiling.

Kennedy supports House Republicans and their efforts to cut social programs that help the working class to offset the debt, blames Democrats, but at the same time, understands the full faith and credit of United States of America is at risk by their extreme actions.

Kennedy said he was proposing some idiotic bill to make both parties negotiate on the ceiling, but that's DOA, and then he finally acted like a US lawmaker.

"I do know this. I am not going to default on the debt of the United States of America, I'm not going to do it," Sen. Kennedy said. "I'm a Senator. Even though I didn't run it up, I'm not going to do it."

Sen. Kennedy did help run it up since he voted for Trump's tax cuts.

"I have a fiduciary obligation to the American people. I'm a Senator. I try to rise above it, but I'm a Senator," he said.

I'm not sure what he means by rising above being a senator, do you?

"And I am going to fulfill my fiduciary obligation," Kennedy said.

Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen warned Congress last week that she may "have to begin employing “extraordinary measures” on Thursday to continue paying the nation’s bills if lawmakers did not act to raise the statutory debt limit and that her powers to delay a default could be exhausted by early June."

House of MAGA does not care about the country or its people, so brace yourselves.
