Louisiana Senator John Kennedy is among the many Republicans supporting stricter voter ID laws in states across the country, and he levied a harsh criticism at the opposition on Twitter Wednesday while reposting a story from the New York Post.
The story retweeted by Kennedy repeated some of the well-worn quips he dropped during an appearance on Fox News, where he told conservative host Sean Hannity that Texas Democrats “fit in just fine here in Washington, DC, because in Washington, DC, if it weren’t for double standards, there wouldn’t be any standards at all. This place, as you know, is a lot like high school except no one ever graduates.”

The Democrats in question left Texas for DC to stall a voting ID measure in the House by preventing the legislature from reaching a quorum, the maneuver that prompted Kennedy’s tweet.
But Kennedy didn’t stop at just the tweet.
“It doesn’t suppress anybody’s vote,” Kennedy said Tuesday. “It allows for very generous early voting, very generous absentee voting. Yes, it does require voter ID. It does require the people of Texas to prove they are who they say they are when they go to vote. The American people support that. The American people want that."
