May be an image of the Oval Office

Pete Buttigieg, teleprompter-perfect, smirked into the camera:
“Senator Kennedy wouldn’t know an EV charger if it backed over his lawnmower. Maybe he should stick to analog politics.”
Jake Tapper teed it up:
“Senator, care to respond?”
Kennedy leaned in, slow smile, zero blink.
“Son…
You just picked the wrong Cajun to mess with.”
Nine words.
That’s all.
The studio froze solid.
Tapper’s coffee cup stopped halfway to his mouth.
Buttigieg’s Zoom feed glitched—his face stuck in mid-smirk for seven eternal seconds.
Kennedy kept going, voice soft as a switchblade:
“I’ve buried smarter men than you in committees you’ve never heard of.
Keep my name out your mouth, or I’ll read your entire McKinsey expense report on the Senate floor—line by line, latte by latte.”
Control room cut to commercial 14 seconds late.
Dead air nationwide.
The clip hit X at 8:33 a.m.
By 8:47 a.m.: 168 million views, #WrongCajun trending in 87 countries.
Buttigieg’s team called it “threatening rhetoric.”
Kennedy’s reply, posted with a photo of a Louisiana gator eating a Harvard sticker:
“Threat? Sugar, that was a promise.”
CNN hasn’t recovered.
Pete hasn’t tweeted since.
And America just learned:
Never poke the Cajun bear
