Republican Senator John Kennedy's Party Switch Sparks Controversy in Senate Judiciary Hearing
Republican Sen. John Kennedy attempted to smear a Democratic nominee for a U.S. district court by baselessly calling her a Marxist, but his efforts backfired when reminded that he used to be a Democrat himself. Despite the nominee's denial and explanation, Kennedy persisted in his accusations, leading to an awkward exchange during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. This incident reflects a pattern of baseless accusations of Marxism against Democratic nominees by some Republican senators.
