In a recent segment on Fox News, Neil Cavuto and Senator John Kennedy engaged in a heated discussion about the use of name-calling in politics.

Neil Cavuto initiated the discussion by expressing his worry about the potential negative effects of derogatory comments on female voters.

He questioned Senator Kennedy, saying, “I’m just wondering, do you worry how that comes across? And maybe you draw no distinction between a female candidate and a male, and that’s fair game, but that this could hurt you with female voters with these type of comments.”

Senator Kennedy responded by clarifying his stance on the matter, emphasizing that he doesn’t care about the gender or race of political candidates. “Well, let me, let me say it again. The Vice President is a candidate for president of the United States. I don’t care about her gender. Neil, maybe you do, but I don’t. I don’t care about her race.”

Cavuto pressed further, questioning Kennedy’s choice of words, “Why call her a ding dong?”

Kennedy defended his comments by pointing to polling data, stating, “I’m telling you what the polling shows. I’m telling you what the polling shows, and it does, and I’ll be glad to sit down with you and walk you through it.”

Cavuto pushed back on Kennedy’s approach, arguing that name-calling could be damaging to the political process. “Please do, because I never know when it’s constructive to call people names, you know, Senator, I just, on the left or the right.”

In response, Kennedy reiterated his position, albeit with a note of apology: “I’m sorry if it hurts your feelings, but let me say it again.”

Cavuto emphasized that his concern was not personal but about the broader implications of such rhetoric. “Senator, you keep bringing it back to my feelings. My feelings matter little. All I’m telling you is, if you think you can gain this November calling people names. I don’t know how far that goes left or right, but we’ll see. It’s still early.”

Kennedy, appearing unfazed, suggested that Cavuto’s feelings did matter to him. “Your feelings seem to me like they matter to you a lot. Neil, and I’m trying to be objective here. Let me, let me say it again.”

Cavuto questioned Kennedy’s objectivity, adding, “Are you really? Are you really being objective? Senator, I just think you’ve got a bash-a-thon of name-calling at her. If you call that being objective, I don’t know, but Senator, I thank you. Thank you for coming.”

Kennedy concluded the segment by thanking Cavuto and expressing hope for a better day. “Well, thank you for having me. Neil, I hope you have a better day.”

Cavuto echoed the sentiment, albeit with a hint of sarcasm, “Yeah, so do I. Hope you have a better day.”
