Senator John Kennedy voiced his opinion on the necessity of women’s sanitary products during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Monday. “The Vice President goes on some show called Call Her Daddy or Call Your Daddy or Who’s Your Daddy or something — Call Me Daddy, I like Who’s Your Daddy better — and among other things, she’s talking about tampons,” the senator said. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana appeared on “Hannity” during which he claimed that people in Appalachia affected by Hurricane Helen “don’t give a function” about tampons Kennedy is an Oxford-educated senator from Louisiana, not Appalachia.
