During the Senate hearing on the effects of climate change on increasing insurance prices, Senator John Kennedy lost it on a witness, stating "you're a political extremist, aren't you?"

The article discusses a heated exchange during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) aggressively questioned a witness, Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was nominated by President Trump for a federal judgeship. Kennedy's questioning focused on Kacsmaryk's views on various social issues, particularly his stance on same-sex marriage and his association with a conservative Christian legal group.

The incident underscores the deep partisan divides in the Senate over judicial appointments.
