Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy brought his signature Southern bluntness to the Senate floor this week, telling fellow Republicans that the midterms delivered a message they need to absorb instead of ignoring. With Democrats poised to seize control after the new year, the Louisiana conservative laid out a simple plan: drop the kid gloves, pay attention to what voters are actually telling them, and get serious about confirming the remaining nominees while the GOP still holds the majority. Kennedy made clear he’s prepared to stay in Washington through the holidays if that’s what it takes to finish the work.
We need to put down our juice boxes and listen very carefully to the American people. I have. I’m committed to spending whatever time it takes to get our work done. https://t.co/ziNZnTAFVi

Although, if we're being honest, the timing of his speech is not great considering the Senate proceeded to take a three-day weekend after making a big deal of working day and night and through the holidays.
We love Kennedy for his sass and honesty, but we can't help but understand why so many people on X are ticked at him for posting this while he's on a long weekend.
@SenJohnKennedy How's your 3 day weekend going?

@SenJohnKennedy That's why you are all on a three-day weekend, right? You all have such commitment!

@SenJohnKennedy Senate Republicans, especially "Leader" John Thune failed us over the past 2 years. Incredibly disappointing.

Tough crowd. And understandably so.
