The Mexican ambassador to the United States criticized Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., over comments he made at a hearing last week, calling the lawmaker’s words “vulgar and racist.”
Kennedy at the hearing questioned Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Anne Milgram, asking about fentanyl moved into the United States from Mexico. The lawmaker spoke about the size of the countries’ economies and the U.S. buying goods from Mexico
“Without the people of America, Mexico, figuratively speaking, would be eating cat food out of a can and living in a tent behind an Outback,” Kennedy said.
The Embassy of Mexico in the U.S. shared a 2-page letter that Ambassador Esteban Moctezuma wrote to Kennedy, dated Thursday.

Mexico had a one-party rule from After the revolution of the early 1920s to just recently and the PRI didn't do a good job and there was lots of corruption. The Mexican peso devalued and right now even interest rates in Mexico are over 12%.
Mexico could be another Argentina because Argentina right now has inflation over 110%.
Senator Kennedy is blunt upright that without the US and Canada helping with trade with Mexico such as in heavy industry and automobiles, Mexico would even be in the worst situation.
Mexico is in a civil war right now anyway with the drug cartels taking over major cities by the border and the Mexican military replaced a lot of police Chiefs with ex-military officers due to corruption.

Kennedy is a national treasure. One of the funniest men in congress, while being the most accurate in verbalizing the lunacy of the left. His generalizations make a lot of leftists mad, which is great but he's always on point.
If you get a chance to catch him on Wilkow Majority, do it. It's art when he's completely unfiltered.
