Sen. Bill Cassidy Takes Jab at President Trump After Humiliating Defeat in Louisiana


Last night, RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy suffered a historic defeat in his own state.

After President Trump endorsed his challenger, the great people of Louisiana voted Sen. Cassidy out of his seat in the Senate.

This means that Sen. Cassidy has officially become the first sitting Senator to lose a primary in over a decade.

How embarrassing is that?

BREAKING: RINO Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy LOSES Primary to Trump-Endorsed Candidate

To make a long story short, the main reason Sen. Cassidy lost his seat was because he betrayed President Trump and his own constituents.

A few years ago, Sen. Cassidy was one of seven GOP Senators to vote to impeach President Trump.

Recently, he also tanked the confirmation of President Trump's surgeon general nominee Casey Means, who is a close ally of RFK Jr.

And, Sen. Cassidy appears that he still hasn't learned his lesson.

In his concession speech, he took a not-so-subtle hit at President Trump.

Watch this:

Isn't it funny how Sen. Cassidy told losers not to "pout or whine" about it, then proceeded to do exactly that?

Folks on X commented on the irony there:

What a crybaby.

I bet Lousianans aren't regretting their decision to kick this guy out, one bit!

This is a huge win for MAGA.

Now, it's a battle between Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming for who will be on the ballot to replace Sen. Cassidy this November.

Fox News reported further:

Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming topped Cassidy in Saturday's GOP primary, according to The Associated Press.

With most results tabulated late in the evening, Letlow stood at 45% of the vote, Fleming at roughly 28% and Cassidy at just under 25%, Since no candidate cracked 50% of the vote, Letlow and Fleming will advance to next month's runoff for the Republican nomination. And Cassidy becomes the first elected Republican senator to lose renomination since Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana in 2012

While he wasn't on the ballot, Trump is a winner, as the primary in the solidly red state was the latest test of his endorsements in GOP nomination races and of the president's immense grip over the Republican Party.

Trump on Saturday morning took aim at Cassidy, arguing the senator is "a disloyal disaster" and "a sleazebag, a terrible guy, who is BAD FOR LOUISIANA."

And after Cassidy was defeated, Trump returned to social media to revel in the senator's ouster, saying "it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER!"

Cassidy, in a speech to supporters after conceding, said "when you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you want it to."

"But you don't pout, you don't whine. You don't claim the election was stolen… You don't manufacture some excuse," Cassidy said in an apparent jab at Trump. "You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you've had that privilege. And that's what I'm doing right now."

The Louisiana primary was held a week and a half after Indiana's primary, where Trump-backed challengers ousted five sitting Republican state senators who last December teamed up with Democrats to defeat the president's push for congressional redistricting in the GOP-dominated Midwestern state.
