can not believe that a 70 year old senator actually uttered the phrase “ignorant slut” about bernie sanders on the senate floor.

So what actually happened was senator Kennedy said to Neera Tandem, “you basically called Bernie Sanders everything but an ignorant slut”

Which apparently is a reference to a SNL sketch from 1970s, which is odd but also not completely batshit crazy

But what is crazy is that senator Lindsey Graham in the background, who was not actively part of the conversation, then interrupting to respond with “well I wouldn’t say ignorant”

So whilst technically no senator referred to Bernie Sanders as an “ignorant slut”, senator Lindsey Graham did state quite firmly that he is in fact a slut, just a very knowledgable one
