Former President Trump lashed out at Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Monday, calling him “one of the ‘worst’ senators in the Senate and a total scumbag.”
In a two-part post on Truth Social, President Trump announced that a Louisiana Republican lawmaker had left the party and voted to convict the former president of inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He attacked the Republican for being one of seven Republican senators who voted for .
“One of the worst senators in the United States Senate is without a doubt Bill Cassidy. He may be a Republican, but he’s a total weirdo. He campaigned in Great Louisiana with Trump, Trump, Trump. “I was really excited to receive my very important endorsement,” Trump wrote on Monday.
“Cassidy is a total ‘straight’ guy, but Louisiana had me 100%, so they didn’t need Cassidy to protect them!” Nevertheless, when the Democrats’ impeachment hoax began, this lame brain “The senator actually voted against me,” he later added. “He thought it was very ‘cool’ until he got home, but he was bombarded with a lot of profanity, literally everything that can be used for such a disgraceful event, especially words. .”
Last month, Cassidy doubled In response to President Trump’s rhetoric regarding the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the former president said he is willing to “free” some of those convicted of the riot.
“We are a nation of laws,” Cassidy said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” last month. “Those guys were convicted. Many times they pled guilty. If you plead guilty…obviously you’re not a patriot.”
trump who approved Mr. Cassidy, who is seeking re-election in 2020, said he doesn’t think much of Mr. Cassidy because he is preoccupied with “communists, fascists, and lunatics who have weaponized our government” against him.
“But this is not someone you’d want to go into the trenches with. He’s very dishonest and not very smart!” he jokedlater added, “Bill Cassidy is now shunned as a disloyal lightweight in his own state, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Thank you, Louisiana!”
The former president claimed that when Republican senators considered the 2023 Bayou State governor’s race, they abandoned their support for Cassidy because they preferred then-Attorney General Jeff Landry. Landry won last fall’s gubernatorial election and painted the governor’s mansion red for the first time in eight years.
President Trump’s Truth In a long social post, Cassidy claims he doesn’t “concern about immigration” in the U.S.
The Hill has reached out to Cassidy’s office for comment.
In an interview with NBC News last month, Cassidy criticized President Trump’s recent comments about illegal immigration, saying he showed “insufficient remorse.”
“The president’s rhetoric doesn’t really reflect on the people who are here illegally, illegally, and inhumanely, which shouldn’t be the case. That’s why, again, a lot of people have reservations. It continues,” Cassidy told NBC News.
At the time, Cassidy lamented the circumstances surrounding the 2024 election, in which Trump and President Biden are the party’s nominees.
“The best thing about Donald Trump running for president is that he is against it. [President] Many people also have concerns about Joe Biden. Frankly, that’s why people consider third parties. So it’s an unfortunate situation,” he said.
Cassidy, who was elected to the Senate in 2014, has not yet endorsed Trump’s reelection bid. At least 33 Republican senators and 137 House Republicans have already done so.
