Credit: Face the Nation screenshotSenator John Kennedy (R-LA) calmly shut down CBS’s Margaret Brennan after the leftist host tried to entrap him with a nasty question regarding the SAVE America Act.On Sunday, Kennedy appeared on “Face the Nation” to discuss a variety of topics, including the recent Saudi Nuclear Deal, energy prices, and election integrity. Not surprisingly, the interview grew testy when Brennan brought up the SAVE America Act.Brennan noted that Republicans in the House have embarked on a reconciliation process to pass the election integrity bill. They passed the SAVE America Act less than two weeks ago as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as The Gateway Pundit reported.Brennan slammed the SAVE America Act as “highly controversial, highly partisan” before ‘asking’ Kennedy whether passing the bill would hurt “faith in our elections” right before the midterms.Kennedy calmly brushed aside her gotcha question and noted that there were two important things the SAVE America Act does: Number One, it requires people to prove who they say they are to register to vote, and to vote.Number two, it sets forth a process to go back to having an election day, not an election month.WATCH: JUST IN: Sen.

That would be a party-line vote.KENNEDY: Yes, ma’am.BRENNAN: That would be Republicans jamming this thing through. The SAVE Act is highly controversial, highly partisan. Bigger picture: isn’t going to hurt faith in our elections if a Republican-only policy to change elections is rammed through?KENNEDY: No. In my opinion, for both sides to have credibility in our elections, we need to do two things:Number one, you have to prove who you say you are in order to register to vote and to vote.Number two, we need to go back to having an election DAY, not an election MONTH.That, to me, is what the SAVE Act is all about. And I think that we can pass it and craft it in a way to survive a Byrd bath (for reconciliation).We’re not gonna know if we don’t try!The post WATCH: Senator John Kennedy Sets CBS’s Margaret Brennan Straight After She Asks Him a Nasty Gotcha Question Regarding The SAVE America Act appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
