The Louisiana Republican made the comment in his new political ad calling for more funding for police.

Kennedy is up for re-election this year, and his leading challenger is Gary Chambers, Jr., a Black civil rights activist from Baton Rouge. Chambers shot back rather pointedly at Kennedy’s comments with an ad of his own.

“Now this here is Louisiana politics at its best,” Chambers says sarcastically in the video, cutting immediately to the senator’s “crackhead” remark. “But it’s also racist as hell. He didn’t say nothing about opioid addicts, meth addicts, none of that other stuff, because he was trying to talk about a specific subset of people that he doesn’t give a damn about serving in Louisiana.

that Louisiana only has one of the worst mortality rates in the country if you count Black women in the statistics, because they die at higher rates from pregnancy-related causes, due to...well, racism in the health system. In short: About a third of Louisiana’s population is Black, and all of the people supposedly representing them in the U.S. Senate are racist white men. The state does not need more cops; it needs whole new leadership, badly and immediately.

You're likely to get killed either way, but at least the crackhead may bring some drugs with him.

Same effect.

Senator Pat Buttram's Maiden Aunt has a point. It might be easier to find a drug addict in Louisiana than law enforcement during his time in office.

Well it is raining …I just might ….thanks Sen. Fog Horn
