GOP Sen. Kennedy: We Have to Reopen Economy Soon, Even Though ‘Virus Is Gonna Spread Faster’
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) authoritatively declared on Wednesday night that the American people understand that the economy needs to be reopened very soon and that when it happens, the deadly coronavirus is “gonna spread faster.”
