MAGA senator’s attempt to discredit expert backfires at gun crime hearing (video) – https://boingboing.net/2023/11/28/maga-senators-attempt-to-discredit-expert-backfires-at-gun-crime-hearing-video.html

“Sen. John Kennedy (M-LA), an ardent Trump supporter, tried his best to smear Dr. Megan Ranney of the Yale School of Public Health at a Senate hearing on gun crime in Chicago, but he ended up looking like a petulant dotard instead.

Kennedy started by asking Ramey what he thought was a clever trap question: “Why do you think that Chicago has become America’s largest outdoor shooting range? You think it’s because of Chicago citizens who have no criminal record, but who have lawfully a gun in their home for protection? Or perhaps for hunting? Or do you think it’s because of a finite group of criminals who have rap sheets as long as King Kong’s arm?”

Ranney didn’t take the bait. Instead, she told Kennedy that the state he represents is deadlier than Chicago.”
