Freeze Frame: 73-year-old GOP Louisiana U.S. Senator John Kennedy leaves Larry Kudlow hanging with 'Jesus loves immigrants' comment

 
Headline and screengrab:  AlterNet, 7/23/2025

Carl Gibson reports:
The Daily Beast reported that Kennedy's segment with Kudlow went off the rails after Kudlow — who was President Donald Trump's National Economic Council chairman during his first term — asked the Louisiana Republican about the Trump administration's approach to sanctuary cities (typically Democratic-run cities that don't prioritize compliance with federal immigration officials). Kennedy was making a point about how "Jesus loves" immigrants before suddenly freezing and licking his lips. 
"I'm sure Jesus loves them, but everybody else — everybody else," the 73 year-old Kennedy said, before silently smiling at the camera.
