WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) delivered a speech on the Senate floor today in honor of former President George H. W. Bush.

“People don’t really care how much you know until they know how much you care,” said Sen. Kennedy. “President George Herbert Walker Bush knew a lot, but he cared a lot too.  America weeps both in joy for his life and in sadness because his soul is in a better place but not with us. America and the world have lost a favorite son.”
