Cassidy's announced endorsement of Attorney General Jeff Landry for governor of Louisiana offers proof how close he is still aligned with Trump and his corrupt policies. Landry, a Trump ditto head continues to support the former traitorous President and his attempt to over turn the 2020 Presidential election. Tyler Bridges, a staff writer with the New Orleans Advocate wrote of Cassidy's support in a column dated 8/1/23.
The column suggests that Cassidy's support for Landry is more about improving his political relationship with members of congress and the state's GOP. It is the usual cop out by elected officials who have no courage or character. Cassidy is obviously afraid of defending his own position on policies. During President Trump's 4 years in office, Cassidy supported Trump's policies and extreme rhetoric the majority of times. So now he supports Landry who backs Trump and his policies and extreme rhetoric.
Former U.S. Representative GOP Liz Chaney served on the January 6th committee after Speaker of the House McCarthy pulled all GOP appointees to that committee after being appointed by then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Liz Chaney and former GOP representative Adam Kinzinger were the only two GOP members in the House willing to serve. They understood the importance of the issue at hand and had the character and courage to serve even though both were subject to their party's hurtful rhetoric. Liz Chaney and Adam Kinzinger put their country first, Bill Cassidy put politics first with his endorsement of Jeff Landry.
Liz Chaney and Adam Kinzinger recognized what is important when one takes the oath of office to serve and protect. They also recognized what should be political theatre and what should not. And that really says it all.
