John Kennedy’s Savage Jab Leaves Kamala Looking Desperate
Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana took aim at former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party’s growing socialist wing Monday night, giving Democratic Socialists of America members a new nickname that quickly spread across social media, as reported by The New York Post.
During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Kennedy questioned Harris’ political relevance following her defeat to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
He also mocked Harris for seeking closer ties with progressive activists and politicians as speculation continues about a possible 2028 presidential campaign.
“No disrespect, but Vice President Harris is no longer relevant. She had her shot, and she missed,” the senator told Hannity.
Sen. John Kennedy says Kamala Harris “had her shot and missed,” warning the real threat is the rise of far-left figures like Mamdani, El-Sayed, AOC, and Bernie Sanders:

Kennedy then delivered his newest nickname for members of the Democratic Socialists of America, combining the name of the athletic apparel company Lululemon with Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary who founded the Soviet Union.
“She can cozy up to the ‘Lulu Lenins’ all she wants to,” Kennedy quipped.
The phrase quickly gained attention online, with supporters and even at least one self-described DSA member embracing the nickname.
One social media user joked, “As much as I like my Lululemons, whoever wrote Lulu Lenin into Senator Kennedy’s talking points deserves a Pulitzer.”
