Republican senator slammed online for implying that tampons are a luxury

A Republican Senator from Louisiana ranted about Kamala Harris’s recent Call Her Daddy podcast appearance and in doing so insinuated that tampons are a luxury, and are not needed by Hurricane Helene victims .

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. He was responding to Harris’s appearance on Alex Cooper’s mega-popular podcast over the weekend.

“The Vice President goes on some show called Call Her Daddy or Call Your Daddy or Who’s Your Daddy or something — Call Me Dadd y, I like Who’s Your Daddy better — and among other things, she’s talking about tampons,” the senator said.

Call Her Daddy is the second most popular podcast on Spotify, boasting millions of listeners and second only to the Joe Rogan Experience. It’s unclear why the senator appeared surprised that women’s health was a topic of conversation between two women on a podcast whose audience is largely women.
