Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) tweeted on Saturday that he voted to convict former President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial “because he is guilty.”
“Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty,” Cassidy tweeted.
Cassidy is one of seven Republicans who was convinced by the House managers' arguments and voted to convict Trump in a 57-43 vote.
Cassidy was joined by fellow Republican colleagues Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Patrick Toomey (Pa.) and Richard Burr (N.C.).
Cassidy’s decision was a surprise to some after he was seen on Friday with a statement that showed support for Trump’s acquittal, but his communications director stated that Cassidy had drafted two statements, one for and against Trump’s conviction.
Cassidy has previously said that that the House Managers had “done very well” with their arguments for Trump’s guilt.
However, the arguments fell short as conviction would have required 17 Republicans to side with the Democrats.
Since Trump was not convicted, he is allowed to run for a political office again. He has made clear he will stay involved in the political realm, but it is not clear what his future plans are with the Republican party.
Oooooooooo whatta hero! /s

He’s a piece of crap
He has to cuddle up to the corpse of Nancy Pelosi.
Good luck, David Cassidy.
Back on the yellow bus for your low life ass.

How did LA elect this rat in sheep’s clothing?
Is Cassidy channeling his inner Huey Long?
MHDS.
And you’re toast.
Sounds like slander as Trump was found not guilty.
Unbelievable.
A tweet? He’s not so long winded this time? Sounds like he’s already bugged out to his swamp cave.
guilty only of focusing the spotlight on Congressional,
SCOTUS, and blackrobe corruption including raping
of babies taped up (Pelosi, and pedoPOTUS, as two examples)
only the FIB and DO”J” could ignore such baby rapes.
Bill Cassidy needs to prove trump was guilty he has none he’s just looking for someone to spray paint his home or do something silly to prove his point...glad I left the GOP that party my goodness what a bunch of losers
Cassidy should face the righteous wrath of the people of Louisiana. Where’s the Duck Dynasty boys when you need them????
GOP is an insider's game. it is not "for the people," it is for itself. Big money people get the seats and the power.
This is an age old paradigm. Castle vs. serfs.
Primary his a$$
He didn’t just cost himself his seat, he just threw the ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY out of work, as Trump will respond in kind, which means Third Party (soon to be Second Party).
He should have checked with Mitch first...who would have told him to ‘vote right’ and then bitch.
What will they do now?
