He's too stupid to be a closet communist. The only closets that Joe is familiar with are the ones where he plays "doctor" with little girls.
However, his handlers certainly are.

A hearing for the Senate Banking Committee went off the rails when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) sparred with Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-OH) over the insinuation that Saule Omarova is a communist...
...As the hearing got underway, Republicans accused Omarova of backing “radical” and “socialist” economic ideas, while Brown derided this line of thinking as “Trumpism meets McCarthyism.” When Kennedy got his turn to ask questions, he immediately focused on Omarova’s involvement in a communist youth group...
..From there, Kennedy ran through a number of written works and economic opinions Omarova expressed over the years. ... [video at link]

Communism, communism, communism.
“Trumpism meets McCarthyism.”
Omorova?
Communism, communism, communism.
In the open, without shame. She graduated from Moscow University, and is openly Marxist.
McCarthy was right.
He’d be the perfect VP.
Saule Omarova, the devout USSR Marxist who has said she aims to bankrupt oil companies and take private bank accounts federal.
Fox IDed McCarthy this morning on their label bar as D-CA
The Dems have been taken over. The “original” John Kennedy would have said the same thing.
I never liked Pedo Joe, but I never knew that he was a CLOSET COMMUNIST.
How do we get rid of this cancer.
We must encourage this election audit in various states, to do their jobs and decertify this plague from the US.
It was a good video but the headline is simply not true. There was no crowd going wild.
POS web site Wikipedia speaks so highly of her.

Of course communists always praise each other, unlike conservatives who seem more apt to tear each other to pieces over the slightest thing.
I can think of a lot of reasons not to confirm Omarova. Her antipathy towards the very banking industry she would be regulating is not something that would build confidence in the financial sector. The overregulating she seems to be advocating would be just as harmful as underregulating in terms of fostering fairness in the system. And on and on. But the Kennedy clown show of yesterday just makes her appear to be a victim and detract from the very real questions about her nomination.
In the Trump era, Democrats were on offense and every little action by Republicans was ridiculed. Now the Democrats have to play defense, and as political performances go, Kennedy's wasn't one of the most embarrassing ones.
I suppose it’s wishful thinking on my part to expect serious behavior from anyone in Congress. Kennedy’s folksy act is all he’s got.
I have a friend who’s retired and is about a 2 handicap golfer. Amazing guy but his wife agrees with me that he shoots himself in the foot almost daily due to a severe case of “analysis paralysis”.
The questions Kennedy was quite politely asking this woman needed to be asked. Confirming radical Omarova to this important position would be rather like confirming AOC to the Supreme Court.
