BREAKING: “I’m not going to be bullied into silence!” Republican Senator Bill Cassidy defies Trump after a highly publicized screaming match.
This man has nothing left to lose and the gloves are off…
“I’m not going to be bullied when I’m trying to get answers for the American people. This is not about me, it’s not about the President,” Cassidy told ABC News. “It’s about the American people knowing what’s going on.”
“I’m not going to be bullied into silence when I’m sticking up for the American people,” he added.
Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid after Trump endorsed a more hardcore MAGA candidate in the Republican primary, made the remarks just a day after reports revealed that he and the President got into a heated verbal confrontation in the Mansfield Room, which is located right off the Senate floor.
Trump was enraged that Cassidy voted to help pass an Iran war powers resolution designed to hamper his pointless, illegal, child-murdering war. The bill demands that he withdraw U.S. forces from the conflict, a drawdown that the vast majority of Americans support. Innocent people are dying and the price of everything is skyrocketing. Enough is enough.
During their blowup, Cassidy told Trump that he has failed to provide adequate information about the war to the Senate and, more importantly, the American people. Frankly, that’s an understatement. Trump has lied about this conflict every step of the way.
Some days it’s supposedly about stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon (which they were not pursuing). Some days it’s about “freeing” the Iranian people from their theocratic government, a farcical rationale since he is bombing and murdering those very same people. Still other days he says that it’s about opening the Strait of Hormuz, which would have never even closed in the first place if Trump hadn’t attacked.
Cassidy is right not to back down. He already lost his reelection bid, Trump has no leverage left to exploit. We just wish that for once a Republican would grow a spine before their political future collapsed. Every single one of them knows that Trump is a demented, incompetent failure. They’re just afraid of angering him and losing his base. History will rightfully label them cowards.
