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.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha. This is the same country whose government is complicit in the flood of illegal immigration coming across the Southern border and is complicit in the fentanyl poisoning deaths of over 100,000 American citizens.
I guess the Ambassador believes it's a common Mexican troupe that they live out of tents behind Outback and eat cat food (have to say, that's the first time I heard that one). Guess he's learned a lesson from the outrage warriors that anytime someone criticizes you or something you're associated with, you should immediately call them racist so you can try and change the conversation.

SFC John D. Obviously the ambassador doesn't know how much money is sent back to his country every year. Perhaps he may want to do some research before he pulls out the 'race card'.

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.

Somehow I think Senator Kennedy doesn't care what
Ambassador Moctezuma and USA Today thinks or writes.

..."“Mr. Senator, it is not through offenses and threats that constructive collaboration between allied nations such as the US and Mexico can be achieved.”
USA TODAY has reached out to Kennedy’s office for comment.
Kennedy called Mexico a “friend” of the U.S. in the hearing but said President Andrés Manuel López Obrador “has criminal organizations that are killing our people.”
López Obrador has denied that drug cartels make fentanyl in Mexico, though he has said some chemicals and finished fentanyl are smuggled into Mexico from China. China has denied the claim.
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, has caused about 70,000 overdose deaths a year in the U.S."
