John Kennedy Interview Interrupted After He Freezes Mid-Sentence

EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 22 – Senator John Kennedy, 73, stopped speaking mid-interview due to a technical issue with his earpiece during a Fox Business broadcast, dispelling health scare concerns, officials said.

  • During a Fox Business interview on Tuesday, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy suddenly stopped speaking mid-response and trailed off while addressing the topic of sanctuary cities.
  • Kennedy's team and host Larry Kudlow explained the interruption was caused by a malfunction in Kennedy’s earpiece, similar to a prior issue affecting Senator Rand Paul.
  • Kennedy resumed speaking about sanctuary cities refusing to follow federal law, emphasizing that ‘mayors cannot break federal law’ before the technical glitch interrupted him.
  • The incident sparked social media speculation about Kennedy’s age, renewed calls for congressional term limits, and comparisons to Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s prior freezing episodes.
  • This event highlights ongoing debates about age and leadership in Congress and fuels discussions on the need for younger legislators and term limits.
