On Immigration: Biden's immigration policy people are "pink-haired 'wokers'"

This year, over 2 million people will come into this country illegally. To me there are only two possible explanations. The first is incompetence. It may be that the president has put in charge of his immigration policy a bunch of pink-haired 'wokers' who don't know their ass from their elbow. I use 'ass' in the King James Bible sense. It may be that the president's put in charge of his immigration policy people who shouldn't be allowed to think for themselves because it's too dangerous.

On Principles & Values: I will not let you down--I'd rather drink weed killer

With this announcement, I want to make you a new promise: I promise that I will always be your voice during the good times and the bad. I promise I will be a voice against the socialism that's now overtaken Washington, D.C. I promise that--come hell or high water--your values will be my values, and I will never be silent--never--when the nut jobs tell me to sit down and shut up.

I will not let you down--I'd rather drink weed killer.

On Government Reform: 2020 election had a lot of tomfoolery and shenanigans

Kennedy objected to the certification of Biden's victory in Arizona, though Kennedy voted to certify Biden's victory in Pennsylvania. Kennedy has tried to differentiate himself from congressional colleagues who wanted to overturn the entire election. He said that he chose to object only to Biden's victory in Arizona because Biden would still have prevailed without that state's 11 electoral votes. Nonetheless, Kennedy still attempted to override the will of millions of Americans. And he has broadly questioned the legitimacy of the election as a whole.

Days before the votes on January 6, 2021, Kennedy said: "By any measure, the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election exceed any in our lifetimes." And in December 2020, Kennedy sent out a fundraising email, writing that there had been "a lot of tomfoolery and a few too many shenanigans with this election" and that "I'm thinking we may need to take a second look at those ballots and the legitimacy of this election."
