Sen Kennedy praises Trump's resolve on Iran, says 'world is safer today because of what he's done'

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., praised President Donald Trump on Tuesday in a staunch defense of U.S. action aimed at dismantling Iran's security apparatus and neutralizing threats.

"[Trump's] got political will. He's got oranges. And like him or dislike him, the world is safer today because of what he has done," Kennedy said on "Hannity."

"I don't hate anyone, but I will shed no tears for the Ayatollah Khamenei. He won the coin toss, and he elected to receive. And boy, did he receive. May he rest in pieces.
