Few people can shut down the garbage leftists spew during a debate or interview better than Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) can, thanks to his dry sense of humor and criminally underrated intellect. This was on display today when he interrogated the person in charge of immigration policy at one of the nation’s most infamous ‘libertarian’ think tanks.
As The Hill reported, the Senate Budget Committee held a hearing Tuesday morning regarding sanctuary cities in America.
The hearing comes as the DHS remains shut down thanks to Democrats, and a week after the firing of Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary.
David Bier, the immigration studies chair for the open-borders CATO Institute, was one of the witnesses at the hearing. He has lambasted the Trump Administration on immigration issues on various occasions.
For example, he has ripped Trump for not only carrying out a mass deportation agenda but also a population purge. He also called the so-called judges trying to block Trump’s lawful migration policies “much braver than the ICE agents who hide behind masks while violating the Constitution.
When it was Kennedy’s turn to speak, he decided to grill Bier on these comments. After Bier tried to play dumb, Kennedy started reading them off.
The first comment Kennedy read off was a post Bier made on Bluesky, saying the Seditious Six video telling servicemembers to ignore illegal orders from President Trump did not go far enough. Bier defended his statement and tried to get Kennedy to engage, but the Senator cut him off.
Kennedy then exposed Bier for accusing Republicans and Trump of supporting ethnic cleansing and asked him if those words were accurate. This caused Bier to go on an unhinged rant while Kennedy yelled back, “Truth hurts, doesn’t it!”
The country next learned that Bier lavishly praised judges blocking Trump’s lawful immigration orders and accusing Trump of implementing a population purge.
After Bier frantically doubled down, Kennedy ended the argument with a classic quote only he could utter.

Mr. Bier called Trump’s mass deportation plans “ethnic cleansing” and a “population purge agenda” on BlueSky. He even said judges blocking it are “braver” than ICE agents.

KENNEDY: You said, “These judges are much braver than the ICE agents who hide behind masks while violating the Constitution.”
BIER: They are much braver. They put their names on their rulings and they stand behind their constitutional rulings. When I talk about population purge, I’m talking about the fact that they are trying to deport U.S.-born citizens…They are trying to deport them as well.
So it’s not (just) a mass deportation agenda, it is also trying to reduce the population of the United States, including U.S.-born people. So these are not hyperbolic statements.
