Senate Republican: God gave Ocasio-Cortez 'billy goat brain and mocking bird mouth'

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) in remarks on Fox News described Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) as having "a billy goat brain and a mockingbird mouth," while criticizing her on a host of issues.

“As I've said before, she’s entitled to her opinions. You know, my personal opinion is that God gave her a billy goat brain and a mockingbird mouth, you know,” Kennedy said during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News.

“Look, I believe in the power of ideas, and my Democratic colleagues have no ideas. All they have is hatred for one man, even when he's right, and that is President Trump,” Kennedy said. 

“And I don’t think that’s healthy for them. I don’t think that’s healthy for America," he added.

Ocasio-Cortez has expressed outrage over Trump’s leadership and spent the last month touring the country to share public disdain for his approach to massive spending reductions. 

Her office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Kennedy's statements.

Ocasio-Cortez has increasingly been seen as a potential presidential candidate for Democrats in 2028. She stoked those sentiments with the release of a video highlighter her tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) that almost looked like a presidential rollout.

But Ocasio-Cortez hasn't announced a run and dodged questions about a future White House or Senate bid.

“Listen, it’s a video. And frankly, I think what people should be most concerned about is the fact that Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now and people’s health care is in danger,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital when asked about a presidential bid.

“That’s really what my central focus is,” she added.

The New York representative topped the charts in a March poll that surveyed which Democratic Party leader who bests reflects its “core values” sparking speculations about her ascension to higher realms of political prominence.
