Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) appeared on Fox News' Sean Hannity show on Wednesday to share lessons learned from the U.S. conflict with Iran, including a colorful assessment of former President Donald Trump.
One lesson Kennedy claimed to have taken away was that "whether you like him or not, any fair-minded person would have to conclude that President Trump has oranges the size of beach balls." Hannity responded with laughter.
Kennedy continued to praise Trump as being "tough as a pine nut." The remarks then took an even stranger turn.
"It's occurred to me that in defense of America, he will eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti," Kennedy added, referencing the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs." Trump has repeatedly praised the character in the past.
The exchange was captured on video and shared online.
