Lousiana Republican

senator John Kennedy

held a press conference on

New Orleans tragedy

and said he would raise "fresh hell" if he is not satisfied with the investigation into the incident that killed 10 and injured over 20. 42-year-old 42 -year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar plowed through the crowd on the famous Bourbon Street. His truck had a

ISIS flag

, the FBI confirmed and said they were investigating his association with the terror organization and if he acted alone or not.
Senator Kennedy said he would chase federal officials "like they stole Christmas" if they do not reveal the truth about the New Orleans attack. His language was criticized as 'tone deaf' and selfish at this tragic hour.
"There's a lot of information going around. Some of it is actually true. Some of it isn't," Kennedy said.

"Here's what I want to ask from the federal government: Catch these people and then tell the American people the truth. Now, I don't want you to tell us yet anything is going to interfere with the investigation. And there are things that I've been told that I think are true that I'm not sharing with you today because it could interfere with their investigation," he went on.
"But after we get to the bottom of this, they need to tell the American people the truth, and the people in New Orleans the truth, and the people of America the truth."

Kennedy also warned: "I will promise you this: I will, when it is appropriate in this investigation is complete, you will find out what happened and who was responsible, or I will raise fresh hell and I will chase those in the federal government who are responsible for telling us what happened like they stole Christmas."
"You should be ashamed of yourself Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana for making a snide, trolling comment while at an official press conference discussing a tragedy in your state. You are an embarrassment to the Country," one user wrote.
"Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana is a useless piece of shit saying all the wrong things at the wrong time for all the wrong reasons. What a tone deaf, selfish, senile motherf**ker," Keith Olbermann said.
"During the press conference to address the horrific tragedy in New Orleans, Senator Kennedy (R-LA) suggests he will "raise fresh hell" if he's not happy with the federal government response. Every speaker showed class and unity. Kennedy showed that he is a clown," another wrote.
