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."

To me, it seems that censure (or “censor”, as Maxine The Genius says) is nothing. Is there more to it than just shaking a finger at the offender? Is there a penalty?

This, after Trump endorsed and campaigned for Cassidy last February. Hope Cassidy enjoyed those 30 silver pieces.

Heh LA GOP....His history was being a Dem in the past. That should have been the first clue before nominating.

Primaried into what? The RNC is toxic. Its like a hooker with COVID crabs. No one is going to go near this party no matter who is in it, even Trump. They have destroyed all trust. You can count on 1 hand what Republican who is worth a damn. The rest should be hung, not primaried.

You are mistaking the elected officials in D.C. with the party.

There are 75 million or more Trump voters out there. They are the Republican party, not a few elected, corrupt, officials.

“This is huge.”

In what way? I never understood the censure thing beyond, “Tsk tsk - you’re a bad boy”.

I assume it to be sarcasm although I’m not the one who posted the comment.

What is Cassidy’s history? I know next to nothing about the traitor. Someone mentioned he was a Democrat? Obviously he still is.

Those figures show it isn't the politicians running the country.

It is the Media who promotes them and protects them.

Trust in the Media is at an all time low.
