Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) blasted President Joe Biden’s agenda to ban gas-powered appliances, calling it “nutty.”
The Louisiana Republican said it is “American” to want the federal government to remain out of people’s decisions regarding what appliances they use, including stoves, ovens, dishwashers, clothes dryers, and furnaces.

CONSERVATIVE GROUP TARGETS BANK OF AMERICA IN NEW AD CAMPAIGN OVER ESG
“All of this is just one further indication that the Biden administration has a fatal attraction to nutty ideas. About 50% of American households heat their homes with natural gas-powered furnaces. President Biden’s new rule would make about 40-60% of those furnaces illegal because he doesn’t think they are sufficiently energy efficient,” Kennedy said on Hannity. “All this is going to you hurt the American people. It’s going to restrict consumer choice, it’s going to raise prices, and it’s going to have minimal, if any, impact on CO2 emissions.”
“In my opinion, it’s a ‘moron-a-thon,’ and it’s further evidence that crazy never takes a day off in Washington, D.C., when President Biden is in charge,” he continued. “It’s also going to be very unpopular, particularly the price rises. Polling currently shows, fairly or unfairly, that a majority of Americans think that President Biden is on a day pass from a nursing home.”
Kennedy further slammed the president, suggesting Biden’s policies make him highly unpopular.
“At the moment, the president is about as popular as a colonoscopy, and I just don’t think, I don’t understand the politics of all of this,” he said. “It’s going to be extraordinarily unpopular and just have a minimal impact on our environment.”

The senator added that he believes Biden’s push for electric appliances indicates he “has a blind spot for the lives and concerns of ordinary Americans.”
Recent polling shows Biden holds a 44% approval rating.
