On Monday, Kennedy called out Santos for “nutty as a fruitcake,” as well as “boiler bunny,” a reference to Glenn Close’s character in the 1987 film, “Fatal Attraction.”
“I don’t know if you’ve seen it [the film]but there are people like that,” Kennedy told reporters on Monday.
On Tuesday, Santos responded to Kennedy’s comments — and he wasn’t happy:
“I am saddened that a prominent senator from the GOP, whom I respect would use language that disparages me. Such language is hurtful and offensive, and has no place in Congress.”
Twitter users don’t seem to be sympathetic to Santos’ plight.
This is not Santos’ only attack on critics this week
“Now I’m enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but everything has been TERRIBLE so far,” tweeted Santos. “Jon Lovitz is arguably one of the best comedians of all time, and that’s a shame – for him, not me! This comedian needs to up his game.”
