Sen. John Kennedy calls Richard Neal "dumb"

Earlier this week House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal, a Democrat, submitted a letter to the IRS requesting access to President Donald Trump's tax returns.

In defense of this unprecedented move -- one which some allege represents an abuse of power -- Neal claimed that he simply wants to ensure that the IRS is auditing taxpayers correctly.

Speaking Friday on CNN about the committee chair's dubious claim, Republican Sen. John Kennedy bluntly accused Neal of being a complete and utter moron.
