Sen. Kennedy slams 'woke' Biden appointees: 'They think Washington is America'

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., criticized the Biden administration and its "woke" appointees Tuesday for not focusing on issues impacting "ordinary" Americans.

They say they do, but they really believe in government by experts. And they think they're the experts, and they're smarter than ordinary Americans, and they're more virtuous and that everybody ought to shut up and listen to them.
