Sen. Bill Cassidy: Presidential race is 'a sorry state of affairs' (Know thine enemy)

Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy on Sunday criticized his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, saying that former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about illegal immigrants “reflected poorly” and that he’s spoken about migrants in a “dehumanizing fashion.”

Asked about Trump’s recent comments that not all undocumented immigrants are people, Cassidy told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” “The president’s rhetoric has reflected poorly ... regarding folks who are coming here illegally — illegally — and they shouldn’t be, but in a dehumanizing fashion. And that’s why again, many people continue to have reservations.”

“The best thing going for Donald Trump running for president is that he’s running against [President] Joe Biden, about whom many people also have reservations. And frankly, that]s why people are considering third parties. So it’s a sorry state of affairs,” the senator added.

Despite his criticism of Biden, Cassidy wouldn’t commit to endorsing Trump, saying, “The answer I’m going to give, the answer I’ve given consistently whenever asked about this on ‘Meet the Press,’ is that I plan to vote for Republican for the presidency of the United States.”

Cassidy, one of the few Republican senators who voted to convict Trump when he was impeached in 2021, also blasted the former president for saying he would be willing to “free” some of those who have been convicted of crimes committed at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Fake News Sunday talk shows love those uni-partiers, like Nikki, Mitt, Krispy Kreme, Bill Cassidy, and Lisa Murkowski.

Roger that. Those who bash Trump are RINO’s, and; they refuse to give Trump the credits due him. Trump did so much for America no one should trash him.

“The so-called Magic Bullet shot has been proven to be feasible.”

Ran as a Trump supporter, and, upon winning re-election, he voted to impeach Trump.

We have four more years of the worm.

Trump didn’t speak about “migrants” in a dehumanizing manner; he spoke about the illegal actions of “illegal aliens”, the proper way for the President to identify those causing this massive problem for our Republic.

Immigration to the US and the UK is not a possible solution to global poverty. There are too many wishing to immigrate compared to the available jobs and urban road capacity.

Remittances sent from the US and UK can alter Third World real estate pricing, aggravating the Third World poverty problem.

I don’t like him and never have. I don’t know of anyone that does. I know I’m angry at his antics and have been since he was elected.

Dehumanizing? I don’t care.

Build the wall,
Deport them all.

In most countries around the world they don’t talk about illegal aliens—they just shoot them.

It should have all been about Schumer on the news shows, instead they hyped the “bloodbath “ lie and all these off point Republicans run around shooting off their mouths about their own virtue just like the MSM knew they would.

Repel the invaders, and no one will have to say any unkind words about them. They are lawbreakers!

Cassidy has been a useful idiot for the Left for a long time. I’m amazed that LA would send an Rino, deep state idiot like this to represent them in the Senate.

This is gonna be a garbage campaign for our country. Vote for whom you dislike the less. Nothing about optimism and a forward vision for the country. I wish Trump were more of a leader that runs on the promise of America and a shared value of liberty for all.

This guy is just another gutless empty suit. Imagine him on a field of battle? These are the kinds of people who need to meet MS13 up close, and personal.
