Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) loses Republican primary

Cassidy, a physician, was the key vote that led all Republican Senators to vote to confirm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s nomination to lead HHS.

Kennedy, perhaps the best known vaccine denier, is not qualified for such an appointment as he has no appropriate qualifications or credentials, no experience, and is dishonest. His ineptitude was immediately obvious as he mismanaged the Texas measles outbreak, fired world renown Public Health professionals and replaced them with his equally unqualified cronies, slashed research funds, fired many health care workers without cause under the guise of “DEI”, weakened vaccine guidelines without evidence, and publishes falsified reports.

Sadly it appears that the primary loss was more a factor of Cassidy voting to convict Trump rather than backing Kennedy. Still, since that vote to convict, Cassidy has been definitely trying to get back in Trump’s good graces. Such kowtowing doesn’t work as Cassidy is finding out. And if all of the “revenge tour DO(in)J agenda” is any indication, Cassidy’s problems have only just begun.

@jshm2 There’s a lot of truth to what you wrote, but I know many MAGA physicians who are fully qualified to lead HHS, CDC, FDA, etc. and Cassidy himself would have been qualified if he had been available. But Trump would never have appointed him. He was waiting for his chance to screw him.

And this was just round 1–I posted Cassidy’s retort so you just know there will be more revenge forthcoming…

I suspect Cassidy can bow out of politics if he chooses, or maybe just sit things out and try again when there's room for him in the Louisiana Republican party post Landry and not have to deal with Trump.

I'd like to continue to hear from him on public health issues, and he still could do well in a Louisiana general election in a few years.

@MistyCee tRUMP will continue to harass him and will likely have his DO(in)J attempt to indict him on tRUMPed up charges AKA as his COMEY-Willis-Bragg-Smith-etc. escapades have clearly demonstrated.

Remember: Cassidy voted to convict tRUMP and to Demented Donnie that’s the unforgivable sin!

Hear Cassidy’s comments about Trump—too little, too late.

He gave a lunatic (Kennedy) an illusion of credibility and outlived his usefulness.

So any slight against the orange clown and he was a goner.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Exactly. I feel zero empathy for him.

He damaged his professional reputation and that was his choice. His choice helped lead to our current PH situation and millions will suffer the consequences of that.
