President Trump's meeting with Republican senators on Wednesday turned testy, and at one point, he sternly told Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy to sit down, after questions arose about the War Powers Resolution, according to sources directly familiar with the meeting.
Cassidy had been trying to respond to the president, telling the president he should sit down — but Cassidy later relented, saying he would be seated, but not at Mr. Trump's behest.
"He raised his voice. I lost my temper. That's not appropriate. It's the Irish in me, but I again matched his tone and his volume," Cassidy told reporters after the meeting.
Earlier this year, Mr. Trump supported Rep. Julia Letlow in the Louisiana Republican Senate primary. Cassidy did not advance to the runoff, likely ending his political career, a point Mr. Trump highlighted in his remarks.
"I make no apologies for standing up to the president," Cassidy said. "I am sticking up for the American people, even if I'm speaking to the president."
The more-than-hourlong meeting with Mr. Trump focused mostly on the Iran war and the War Powers Resolution. On Tuesday, the Senate approved a Democrat-led resolution to keep the president from ordering further military action in Iran. Four Republicans voted in favor of the concurrent resolution, which is symbolic and does not carry the force of law.

Well, Mr. Cassidy, just be glad the President didn’t just blurt out “Sit your a** down!” right in front of staring witnesses. You know he’s capable of it. You’re not helping yourself acting petty and stubborn.
Voted with dumocrats on war powers:
<> Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
<> Rand Paul of Kentucky
<> Susan Collins of Maine
<> Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Bye, Bye...
“It’s the Irish in me“
—————-
I hate when people say crap like this as an excuse for poor control issues. Your silly behavior is not genetic. It’s usually a result of bad parenting. But this guy might have other issues.
Sure, CBS, whatever you say.
Thankfully worms like Cassidy, Tillis and Cornyn are gone after November. But so many more RINOs remain.
The amazing thing is how patient Trump is but he gets no credit for that.
So, Bill Cassidy is sending his support to Iran in this conflict.
Cassidy said. “I am sticking up for the American people, even if I’m speaking to the president.”
In what alternate universe is Cassidy’s behavior anything other than being a sore-loser horse’s ass?
SMH.
“Cassidy said. “I am sticking up for the American people, even if I’m speaking to the president.”
Cassidy lying as usual, that’s how he originally got elected — fooling people into thinking he was conservative and a tea party guy
Second post you have made in as many days I have agreed with completely.
I hate bad behavior in a man and I hate them making foolish excuses for it even more.
After January
Thankfully worms like Cassidy, Tillis and Cornyn are gone after November. But so many more RINOs remain.
I Love Trump - it is about time this was done

Thune, Murkowski and Lankford are up for reelection in 2028.

A democrat will replace at least one of those. Thats not great. I hope we’d at least keep majority for committees.
Cassidy made a very stupid political decision after the stolen election of 2020 & the Jan 6th protests. He voted with the democrats to convict the 45th President on the 2nd bogus impeachment of Trump.
After that stupid vote by a politician going with the MSN narrative, his political future as a Senate Republican was over.
“Good Riddance.”
