Senator Kennedy's 'spending porn' remark sets Face the Nation talking

The Louisiana Republican's interview clip opened at roughly twelve times the pace of a typical first day on the CBS program's channel.

Sen. John Kennedy says he's fine with Trump's "spending porn" cuts without Congressional approval

Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana is known for lines that stick, and Face the Nation built this clip's title around one of them: "Sen. John Kennedy says he's fine with Trump's "spending porn" cuts without Congressional approval."

Its first day ran at about twelve times what a new upload on the channel usually manages. The comment section kept pace as well, with close to two comments for every three likes. That is a lot of back-and-forth for an excerpt from a Sunday interview.

Face the Nation has been on the air at CBS since 1954, so a senator making news on the program is routine. A clip that gets this many people typing underneath it is less so.
