John Kennedy

I just think you ought to talk straight with your people.

All impeachments, I guess, are political.

Ninety-nine percent of the men and women of the FBI... are just professionals. I don't want Americans, if an FBI agent knocks on their door, to have to be worried about well, is he a Democrat or a Republican? He's an FBI agent.

I have a reputation for taking on governors a lot more powerful than me.

I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it's a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.

You're morally tainted if you don't treat both the accuser and the accused with fairness and with respect, and with due process.

Beto's copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington... they would be happy to confiscate America's guns. And if you don't believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

I'm not interested in more political or cultural combat.

In theory, the MSRB is supposed to protect the public interest, investors, and state and local governments. In practice, the MSRB membership structure is more shaded toward protecting the financial professionals who broker the deals.

Transparency at the MSRB is dubious with data downloads too costly for all but the Vanguards of the world.

I love being in the United States Senate.

I've always appreciated a turn of phrase.

As a country, we can't teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that's - that's a disgrace.

The federal election statutes are primarily meant to be civil. That doesn't mean that you can't have a criminal violation of the FEC provisions, but that's just my personal opinion.

I read a lot. I enjoy reading a lot.

The FBI should not be a political body.

Taxpayers have long memories, especially when it comes to how their hard-earned money is spent.

American taxpayers have been generous to Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

One way to stop illegal immigration is a border wall.

I believe that the primary role of the government is to protect people and not run their lives. You used to be able to believe that in the Democratic Party.
