Bill Cassidy loses Louisiana GOP primary, finishes third

Eliana19

Just another unprincipled useless pendejo! FUCK #Cassidy!

Amy B 🌱💙🌊🐸📎#investigatetheepsteinclass #abolishice17

He should lose his medical license for endorsing RFK jr

🌮 Alacrity's Ghost15

My only thought is that the next guy is worse- as if every turn of the knob intensifies the fucknutterly malignance.

kikime2.bsky.social10

The good news is that primary candidates backed by DonOLD often win, only to lose in the general. Plus, the woman he backed will be giving up a house seat to run, so that opens up that race too.

Mystery To Myself9

That’s a fact. Tillis is doing the same thing, as is that utterly irredeemable sack of shit, Mitch McConnell. Who knows? Maybe their eleventh-hour conversions will earn them a spot in hell a degree or two cooler than where Trump lands.

GrisGris8

He's a fucking asshole. (You're welcome.)

Cynical Jedi 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 🇺🇦 🇬🇱6

I agree with this, however, Julia Letlow is much worse. It consolidates power for the Pedofuhrer.

nichrome77.bsky.social6

What’s chilling is: He wasn’t replaced with someone who showed more integrity and consideration of the larger polity. He was ousted by even more rabid MAGA Nazis. The Blue Wave needs to push these freaks out of power. We must never forget their ill will towards the rest of us.

danharrington.bsky.social6

He may not be redeemable, but he should seek atonement by being a royal PITA to the Trump regime for the balance of his term

sotweedfactor.bsky.social5

#cassidy becomes a hero AFTER the foxes have killed all the chickens and eaten all the eggs. There is no redemption for him and his ilk…if we ever have history books again, he’ll get lumped in with the worst of the weak collaborators.

Spuddle, Parody Support Dog for Joe Manchin 5

Cassidy is still responsible for Trump not being removed from office. Senator Cassidy will be shunned for the remainder of his unfaithful life.

Jake4

He has the blood of Millions on his hands! RFK Jr is a sociopath! He actually lies about proven data! Hep-B vaccine is needed and worked! He is jot a Dr he is a Lawyer that sues Drug manufacturers and vaccine makers! He has harmed many!

SpacemanSpiff4

Redemption tour???!!! I invite him to go have sexual congress with himself. Oh, and strong work state 50, you managed to choose someone even WORSE.

NurseGenius3

Speaking out about Sexual abuse is such a low bar. Republicans really don’t care if children or adults are sexually abused. I think they like it

Fast Fingers Audit3

What did he do against Trump. Did he vote to remove him in the first two impeachment trials? Did he vote against every nominee? Had he been highlighting the presidents mental state is making America weak? Just what did he do to deserve praise from anyone? He brought us to this point. Fuck him.

FilmAlicia3

He doesn’t deserve anything but our disdain. He did the right thing once, and then voted to confirm Josef Mengele’s ideological descendant Secretary of Health and Human Services.

nickforbrains 🏳️‍🌈3

He can’t be redeemed. He is reaping what he sowed and he knows it.

Kate Simpson, PhD, RN2

Exactly, and he’s smarter than most, so he knew the damage that RFKJr would do and he also knew that trump has no loyalty and is vindictive. No sorrow to be rid of him.

shabo71.bsky.social2

When he was recently asked if he had regrets about confirming RFK jr, he answered something about how he thought he was doing a good job with MAHA and processed foods 🤷‍♀️ Still refuses to be a doctor.

Nigel Garbage2

Hey, I guess he's living his life forward now. Eff that guy

Dosco Jones2

Screw that guy. He should surrender his medical license.

Kiki2

History will not be kind to Bill Cassidy. RFK Jr. will turn out to be the most damaging figure in our country’s modern history. An unhinged anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of federal health policy was stupid and dangerous. The cost will be measured in preventable outbreaks and lost lives.

pamballard3.bsky.social2

All of the current GOP magats in congress should be voted out. They have sold us out to the rich. We are paying taxes, and most of us are having a hard time paying our bills. The rich are doing great thanks to the GOP magats and the Big Beautiful Billionaire Bill. Your GOP magat f*cked you over.

Mark Fontaine2

He was just barely redeemable for voting for impeachment, close but no cigar.

tomgfromnc.bsky.social2

Exactly right. His Q&A with him during the conf hearings led me to believe that, as a physician, he would reject the fraud as sec. He violated his sacred oath by voting yes. Deserves every bit of vitriol thrown at him now.

@DarleneWillNotObey2

I'm guessing the Super MAGA candidate will be easier to defeat in November. Only if Dems and Independents turn out to vote. That's the only "good news". Bill sadly was MAGA lite.😏

Carolyn2

Cassidy is a tool and a fool of the Heritage Foundation. Realized he could make more money grifting off the public than as a physician- and not work nearly as hard.

Angry Gnat in TX2

💯 He did the right thing once. And followed it up with a series of capitulations that got him nothing. And lost his integrity in the process.

Four Legs Good2

With you. He knew better and he sucked up to Trump with predictable results.

Churlayla 86.472

My take: the leopards have started eating their own.

Annie2

He's just a weak charactered politician, like the rest. He jumped on the impeachment bandwagon, and then McConnell blew that up. And when he should have stood up and stopped RFK Jr., couldn't find the balls to do it.

Michellemm32

I have zero respect for Sen. Cassidy. He is a DOCTOR & voted for RFK Jr. I also remember his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel after Jimmy's son was born needing cardiac surgery. Kimmel was lucky he could afford it. Sen. Cassidy promised to make it affordable for everyone. HE LIED & voted against the bill.

lafourchette16

a rare win for him. most of his endorsed candidates lose. wonder what influenced this outcome?

Miles Arzaluz14

He should still run as a independent. Break up the repub vote for Dems. Really show Trump.

Tom12

Republicans are pro violence and pro crime

jplaw.bsky.social9

Polly Anna here - Cassidy lost. But 25% of Louisiana’s Republican vote went with him. That’s one quarter who did not go Trump’s way. Is that meaningful? Don’t know. But perhaps should not be ignored either.

Yankee in the Deep South9

They sell their souls and every bit of Principles they have, just so Trump can throw them under the bus in the very near future. Every. Damn. Time.

flypusher713.bsky.social8

Cassidy chose dishonor ( his vote for RFK Jr, in violation of both his Senate oath and his Hippocratic oath) in a bid to avoid losing his seat. Now he gets both. Does he now find any spine on his way out the Senate door?

Leigh 🚫👑🇺🇸🌏🇺🇦🐶🐱🇨🇦🇲🇽 🦋8

But then Cassidy gave us RFK Jr..

njcnlr.bsky.social7

Let’s hope Cassidy uses the remainder of his term to support democracy and get rid of RFK Jr.

Maggie's Farm6

What stops Cassidy from running Independent? He could sabotage the whole race.

SeekHigherGround6

now do all the times his endorsements failed. seriously this isnt the end of the world. everybody hated Cassidy because he was a spineless worm.

🩵💙🩵 Beth 🩵💙🩵5

Either get in line and be an ass kissing toady for Trump, or you can forget about your future in politics if you’re a Republican. I can’t imagine what a dope you’d have to be to be a member of that stinking party.

Climate defender5

Perhaps in Louisiana where they also elected Mike Johnson. Not the most enlightened state in the country.

BecKay5

Blame the idiots who did this. The voters. Yeah, those idiots

Clare W.5

Run as an independent candidate Senator Cassidy or as a write in candidate. Your name is easier to spell than Murkowski. She won!

tdanjterry.bsky.social5

The Republican Congress was key in pressuring Nixon to resign, boy have things changed.

cb-2025.bsky.social4

Honesty and integrity are not Trumpian qualities.

ShanteJ4

Oh? So Convicted Felon Trump continues to have control over one of the two American political parties Got it

Robert Democracy Illes4

Louisiana, you know what to do.

crazycatlady54.bsky.social4

The voters are the damn problem

Claude the Irregular Dragon (TM)3

Cassidy is still a world class weasel. He deserved it regardless of who his successor is.

weedshouldbelegal.bsky.social3

If Sen Cassidy really wanted to do the right thing, he would run as an Independent and siphon votes from the Republican candidate to hurt his rogue party.

GeekyGenie2

Another dark day in America, but I remember he voted RFK Jr. out of committee and he would have failed without BC’s vote.

Vickie Carey 🦋 💙🖤❤️‍🩹🟦2

Any vote for a Repub in the next 4 elections, especially in '26 & '28, is a vote against American democracy. If you want Free & Fair elections, Accountability, Healthcare, Tax breaks for reg. folks, Respect for the Constitution, & #Affordability! that's NOT the #GOP. 😡 #VoteBlue2026 & beyond! 💙🇺🇸

Maureen McSki2

This doofus voted for RFK Jr.

shawnpb.bsky.social2

trump has all the power, everyone thinks come November it’ll all change….. nope! He’ll have everything rigged & enough dumb-fucking, uneducated, old-ass, white men will vote in trump supporters. We deserve what we get.. American Idiots!!!

Amaryllis Erato (aka Mactabilis999 on PS5)2

Let's call it what it is. The fascist party. Donald Trump has extensive control over the fascist party. And Fetterman. Who is a fucking fascist.

dbergstr.bsky.social2

Time to vote democratic bill

Ditsy Von Blunderpants2

The GOP is a shrinking cult of mouthbreathing masochists.

Breathe Free2

EVERYONE needs to find the website to check their voter registration. Place it on your daily to do list. apnews.com/article/trum...

pismoelizabeth.bsky.social2

So much for keeping your job, Billy, by voting to confirm that whack job - Kennedy.

TurningTexasBlue2

Well there you have it... a woman leading the race for GOP nom in Louisiana has "Deranged Trump Syndrome" -- the fallacy that a rapist, thief, con man is actually Christ's & God's gift to us all, not a buffoon seeking to become King Midas in the flesh.

Karl3

And once blue wins 2028 POTUS elections 2029 needs to focus on undoing Trump's damage and saving as many lives as we can.

NurseGenius2

I was impressed with the way Cassidy would scurry away from media asking him about Kennedy. Got all huffy like it was a impertinent question A real winner

21st Century Delcoid Man4

Wait no this is good

Genre Enthusiast3

Put a candle in the window, cuz Sen Cassidy is chooglin back home

Barry Negrin2

Now he's down on the corner, out in the street.

Paul A.2

His time is over, he will no longer see the reign.

bobcrunkle.bsky.social2

Left a good job in the city, Working for MAGA every night and day, And I lost many minutes of sleeping, Worrying 'bout the way my votes might've been. CHORUS: Big heel keep on turning, Loud Donnie keep on burnin, Rolling, rolling, rolling out to pasture.

Betty Perry-Fingal3

Pretty discouraging for those of us who held out hope of some enlightenment. Just a little bit.

becks2

Cassidy used his reputation as a respected physician to get RFKjr into Trump's cabinet knowing the damage he would do to vaccination rates and the suffering that would cause to children. He's one of the most horrifying types of politicians.

strummer7.bsky.social2

Amen. He decided some of his inviolable principles were worth violating. His most blatant violation was, as a physician, to approve the nomination of RFK Jr and now kids are dying across the country of measles, which was fully eradicated 20 years ago. Fuck off, Bill.

Yankee Shredder 🐸2

He can make amends by running as an Independent and splitting the GOP vote.

Finn&Leo’s Mom9

What is in the water in Louisiana? Lead? Hallucinogens ? Blinding racism?

Janet Marcotte7

If Sen. Cassidy had just done what he knew to be right, he could have spent 6 years distinguishing himself and been proud of his record even in defeat.

Fries Andersen7

The Republican party needs to be drowned in a bathtub.

whysquared.bsky.social6

It never ceases to amaze me how many are willing to sell their souls and integrity for a man that has neither.

Ellen Friedman4

😥 Apparently Democracy can die in daylight, too.

J.c.4

They’re a cult and their leader is Donald J Trump. They have never changed and they never will change.

Richard 'Rick Mack' Mccloskey3

Trump destroys everyone and everything he touches. Bongino figured it out and snuck out the back Jack.

wendywineberg.bsky.social3

Perhaps now he will rediscover his conscience and vote accordingly.

Zapp [redacted]™️3

Another face to the leopards.

Blue 🔵 Warrior2

There are still brainwashed Maganuts to defeat. Get busy 24/7!

Leah 🍄🏹🌙🌻💞13

Cassidy was uniquely loathed by so many different factions here. The national news isn't capturing that adequately. Also, our primaries were absolutely bizarre this year thanks to the even more loathed governor (who was rebuked loudly via his amendments, which is the bigger story) meddling.

a fishwife5

I hate I’m rooting for this asshole

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo Enjoyer3

It’s a very suspicious lack of practically any analysis at all in Louisiana’s newspapers this morning.

BlueUnikorn10

And may the Democrat win

grassfedsteelhead.bsky.social8

This is why it’s pointless to capitulate to Trump. If you ever vote against him for anything, you’re target number on. Doesn’t matter that Cassidy voted with Trump 96% of the time. Just the fact he voted for impeachment once meant he might as well have started professing the values of Karl Marx.

countmoshington3

The GOP doesn’t want anyone with even the perception of expecting accountability or that they would act responsibly.

Roger Hubregtse2

Well deserved after voting to seat RFK JR.

Teege2

Feels like the story isn’t that he voted to convict to Trump, it’s that he tried to appease him every day since and helped destroyed American healthcare in the process and ended up finishing 3rd in his primary all the same. Sold his soul for absolutely nothing. A coward and an embarrassment.

madamgeoffrin.bsky.social5

When will the quislings catch on that no one who works with Trump comes out unscathed? Idiocracy.

judinthepines.bsky.social4

Cassidy tried to have it both ways, and all it did was make him a quisling. No sympathy whatsoever.

Ryno4

THERE IS NO APPEASING TRUMP These people have learned nothing

Donald Lewis3

Why Cassidy continued to kiss Trump’s ass IN HIS SECOND TERM is beyond comprehension.

Thom2

These guys still don’t understand: if you cross Trump, no amount of kindness to one of his “friends” will save you. Everything is personal w him, and he never forgets a grudge. You’re already a dead man walking; at least go out with your dignity and integrity intact.

John Wares2

Also possible that voters hated him assenting to RFK jr

Don Mac2

Had a chance to leave with his dignity, but he licked the boot and got the boot. Sucks to be him.

chunnelfan.bsky.social2

Can’t get your soul back either, Senator!

@debbie1563

Agree, but the woman that won is mega maga.

Paul Arzooman4

Just out of curiosity: Is a revenge campaign OK for me to do or do you folks think it's only OK for Trump to do?

PeDonCon3

The Louisiana Republicans are cult members.

Marterlor2

Hope, that going forward, he will vote with democrats. Nothing to lose.
