With President Trump to his right, the red-faced and performative Kennedy said “Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to impeach him,” which was received by the crowd’s lustful booing. He followed with “I don’t mean any disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb.”

The arena-filled with avid Trump supporters cheered loudly at Kennedy’s suggestion that Pelosi’s launching of an impeachment inquiry based on Trump’s apparent seeking of domestic political support from a foreign power shows how “dumb” she is, despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution clearly delineates Congressional oversight of the Executive branch as part of the critical “checks and balances” that has made this country so great.
