Republican Sen. John Kennedy: Democrats opposing Trump at all costs

Republican Senator John Kennedy is calling for stronger law enforcement measures to tackle America’s crime problem. Kennedy argues that crime is rising across the country, particularly in inner cities, and that more law enforcement officials are needed to protect communities. He supports deploying additional federal officers and even the National Guard to work alongside local police departments.

Kennedy criticizes Democrats who oppose these measures, suggesting that their resistance is driven more by politics than by concern for public safety. He claims that if President Donald Trump supports a proposal, some Democrats reflexively oppose it regardless of the policy’s merits. Kennedy says this attitude is “irrational,” especially when it comes to crime prevention.

The senator points to the positive impact of federal intervention in places like Washington, D.C., and says he would welcome similar support in his home state. He frames crime as an urgent, national issue that requires cooperation across federal, state, and local levels.
