Louisiana GOP votes to censure Cassidy over impeachment vote
The Hill ^ | 2/13/2021 | Jordan Williams

Posted on 02/14/2021 2:52:00 AM PST by nikos1121

The executive committee of the Republican Party of Louisiana voted on Saturday to censure Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) over his vote to convict former President Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

"The Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Louisiana has unanimously voted to censure Senator Bill Cassidy for his vote cast earlier today to convict former President Donald J. Trump on the impeachment charge," the party said in a brief statement.

Cassidy was one of seven GOP senators who joined Democrats in voting to convict Trump for "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States."

The Louisiana Republican tweeted on Saturday that he voted to convict because "Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty."

I was hoping they would do this. He now needs to be recalled.

The professional Republicrats don’t give a crap what you and me think about them. They give you/me/Trump the finger, then ride off down the road getting money right and left coming straight from China, funneled through Donahue and the USCC. Their loyalty is to the money. Carrying the “R” label is merely a minor inconvenience to them until they “retire”.

Cassidy sought, received and touted the endorsement from President Trump. After being elected he stabbed the President in the back. He has the qualities that will take him far in the GOP leadership.

Bill Cassidy, RINO running for Senate in Louisiana, says this about conservatives...
“They’re going to vote, they’ll hold their nose, they will do whatever,” he said of his state’s divided Republicans. “They will vote. We will win.”

Doctored evidence. Saw Trump’s lawyer saying these dirty house managers should be looked at for doctoring evidence. Cassidy supported that. Really stupid.

The answer is not a lifetime career but term limits and a ten year ban on being a lobbyist.

Cassidy may indeed be around for the next six years but he’d better be careful whenever he returns to Louisiana. More than a few of those boys down there don’t take too kindly to a guy who stabs them — and stabs their families — in the back. Even though he’s a scoundrel of the the worst typ, I offer this advice as a public service to a U.S. senator.

Oh Trump will. But I hope he’s got bigger things he’s working on at the moment, like a new social media company where conservatives are permitted free speech rights.

Good.

I would rather be stabbed in the front by a donkey,
Than in the back by a RINO.

What people in Louisiana should do is to sign up for the local Republican committee. Yes, we might have disagreements on some issues (homosexuality, etc. Nothing major), but if we get fiscal, America loving conservatives to run, we can take back the GOP. We let others (people who didn’t have America’s best interests at heart) run the party, now we NEED To take it from them!!
