@thehillpolitics: While prodding Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Anne Milgram to endorse U.S. military and law enforcement action in Mexico, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said that “without the people of America, Mexico — figuratively speaking — would be eating cat food out of a can and living under a tent behind an Outback.” Now, Kennedy is receiving major pushback for his derogatory statement, including from Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Esteban Moctezuma. #congress #senate #johnkennedy #mexico #andresmanuellopezobrador #estebanmoctezuma #politics #washingtondc #thehill
