The upcoming runoff races in Georgia will not only determine whether Democrats or Republicans will control the Senate but will determine if the American people will live under "democracy or socialism," Sen. John Kennedy said Wednesday 

"If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and Sen. [Chuck] Schumer and Sen. [Bernie] Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez win in Georgia, you've got nothing to worry about unless you are a taxpayer, a business owner, a parent, a cop, a gun owner, a person of faith, or an unborn baby," the Louisiana Republican said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." 

Meanwhile, Kennedy said he wants to see President Donald Trump finish prosecuting his claims of election irregularities because "the integrity of the electoral system depends on it."

"We had tens of millions of Americans that think the election was rigged as a carnival rig toss, and it is important that however the election comes out that we all accept the results," said Kennedy. "We have to finish letting courts do their jobs."

But regardless of what happens, it's important for Trump to help Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue win their elections in Georgia. 

"If Democrats win the two Georgia Senate runoffs they'll take control of the chamber," said Kennedy. "They can then get rid of the filibuster and pass whatever radical legislation they like."

Kennedy added that he doesn't recognize many of his Democrat colleagues. 

"Many of them really are socialists," he said. "They really do believe in open borders and abortion is a moral good and the way to deal with Iran is with hugs and hot cocoa."

Kennedy also commented on his grilling of former FBI acting Director Andrew McCabe, who testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. 

"When you step back and look at what happened, it's kind of breathtaking," said Kennedy, because nobody fully vetted the dossier that had come from Christopher Steele alleging various actions concerning Trump and Russia 

"They just pounced on it like a ninja," he said. "They ought to hide their heads in a bag."
