WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 -- Sen. John Kennedy issued the following op-eds:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) delivered remarks on the U.S. Senate floor regarding the $1 billion welfare fraud scheme that has unfolded in Minnesota. Additionally, Kennedy discussed the cost-of-living in America and urged the Senate to use the reconciliation process to pass legislation to address the lingering effects of inflation.
Key excerpts of the speech are below:

This fraud has been centered in the Somali community in Minnesota. Now, I am not here to criticize the Somali community; I am here simply to describe what happened."
