Home Secretary John Kennedy on Thursday apologized for calling Home Secretary of the Interior Joe Biden’s Deb Haaland ” a slap in the face ‘.
The Louisiana Republican said he regretted the remark about Haaland and explained that he was looking for another word before calling her ‘a neo-socialist, left-wing Lenin’. ‘
“I apologize. I was looking for a word for extremists, which I think is more neutral,” Kennedy said. “And I should have said extremist. I should never have said a slap in the face.”
