Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy on Sunday criticized his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, saying that former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about illegal immigrants “reflected poorly” and that he’s spoken about migrants in a “dehumanizing fashion.”
Asked about Trump’s recent comments that not all undocumented immigrants are people, Cassidy told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” “The president’s rhetoric has reflected poorly ... regarding folks who are coming here illegally — illegally — and they shouldn’t be, but in a dehumanizing fashion. And that’s why again, many people continue to have reservations.”
“The best thing going for Donald Trump running for president is that he’s running against [President] Joe Biden, about whom many people also have reservations. And frankly, that]s why people are considering third parties. So it’s a sorry state of affairs,” the senator added.
Despite his criticism of Biden, Cassidy wouldn’t commit to endorsing Trump, saying, “The answer I’m going to give, the answer I’ve given consistently whenever asked about this on ‘Meet the Press,’ is that I plan to vote for Republican for the presidency of the United States.”
Cassidy, one of the few Republican senators who voted to convict Trump when he was impeached in 2021, also blasted the former president for saying he would be willing to “free” some of those who have been convicted of crimes committed at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

What a wuss LA GOP has sent, to the Senate.
RINO Cassidy is a dying breed. Good riddance!
Republican Suckage on display
That’s ILLEGAL Immigrants Bill.
Not legal immigrants.
But you knew that already, didn’t you?
Trump is exposing all the fake Republicans.
Keep kissing up to foreign invaders. I’m sure they will start voting Republican any day now.
If you can’t say anything nice about a fellow team member, then STFU.
“dehumanizing fashion.”
Cassidy is right — we must not dehumanize them. So is he suggesting we call them what they are: disease-ridden, unvaccinated, uneducated, criminals, drug cartel narcos, murderers, law-breakers, and police assailants?
I’d be ok with that.
Trump is exposing all the fake Republicans.
*************
Now its up to us to get rid of them.
Please add “human traffickers” to your list.
I knew I was missing a couple of items of cultural enrichment in my list. Thanks for correcting me.
If President Donald J Trump did nothing else he has singlehandedly caused the people who are a REAL and present danger to the freedoms of the typical American citizen and these United States of America to fully expose themselves...no matter WHICH side of the political aisle they claim to reside on. now, Mr., Mrs, and ms. American voter...the next step is up to you. remember friends “Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences”. IF you are enjoying your suffering then pull the D lever. If you want your freedom back then you know what to do.
I live here and this ass in NO WAY represents the vast majority of Louisiana residents...I can’t stand the guy.
Shut up Kennedy.
Who gives a crap what this homo thinks? Never heard of him until I just saw two articles about him.
Goes to nondenominational church on LSU campus
They are illegal aliens and many of them go on to committed ADDITIONAL crimes after getting here.
There is nothing dehumanizing about saying that.
I’m sure he knows his days are numbered
He is originally from Chicago which tells us pretty much everything we need to know about this idiot.
