Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote secured the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy jr. He’s now issued a brief statement faintly calling Kennedy’s destruction of vaccine research “unfortunate”

louisiana consistently sending the worst to public office

It’s your fault you stupid chicken shit fuckhead!
-
Cassidy knew Kennedy was an antivax but job who lied through his teeth to get confirmed, but Trump über Alles.
-
Senator Cassidy and/or his staff knew better, but voted this man out to US anyway. Now we all have to manage having a whacko at the helm of our healthcare.
-
Recycling this: Some R Senators are cultists and long ago gave up their soul. Some are just stupid. Some are greedy & will do anything for $. Some are Libertarians that subscribe to "drown in a bathtub". But Cassidy meets the "full knowledge" requirement for sin. Don't know how he can sleep at night
-
Sternly worded words.
-
Not unfortunate, it is tragic. As is the fact that "Dr" Bill Cassidy holds a seat in the US Senate. #complicit
-
Exactly. What a worthless piece of shit
-
Dial it up, Billy.
-
I emailed him a few weeks ago and asked him if he stood by his RFK JR’s nomination and he said Kennedy was working for the American people. To that I say “for what- to kill and maim our children and ourselves”? He of course welcomed my future comments at any time. Bullshit!
-
Unfortunate. That’s the best you could do, Senator Cassidy?
-
Sen Bill Cassidy: Why did you confirm RFK Jr? It’s not like you weren’t told he was unfit for the job!
-
#SenatorBillCassidy is just as Evil as Rfk Jr
Add to the list if Making China Great Again
I show the evidence here:

Mission Accomplished: Trump and Republicans Gave the Future to China
The Achilles heel of the Republican party is greed which is why they sold off America for their own personal gain
-
Go pound salt Bill Cassidy. You could have saved the people of the USA from this. Instead you gave in because u r afraid of losing your senate seat or possibly your family being threatened. You r a coward!!
-
If only Cassidy had been in a position to prevent this "unfortunate" action ...
-
Bill Cassidy and hia family should never receive medical treatment again in the US
-
Wow what a spineless fucking loser
-
Unfortunate is when a glass slips out of your hand. A fucking tragedy is what actually happened when you voted for someone who was clearly unqualified knowing he would get a lot of people killed and set science back years, if not decades.
-
I honestly don't understand how people can have the ego necessary to attain this level of power and then not the desire to use it.
-
Also he has incorrect grammar
-
lol.
-
Taps sign 👇
-
President Trump’s slogans should not be mistaken for his goals. His goal is to enrich himself and exercise power at the expense of Americans and American values. Can we stop repeating lies as if pointing out the contradiction will make them go away? Trump wants to destroy America.
-
“Unfortunate” ! Cassidy isn’t worried about more pandemics; he’s focused on towing the Maga line🥶
-
asshole won't even be entertaining and do an accent like kennedy
-
But he met with him and Bob promised not to mess with vaccines....
-
Stubbing one’s toe is unfortunate.
Getting a parking ticket is unfortunate.
Breaking your phone’s screen is unfortunate.
Marrying Hannibal Lecter because you enjoy his home-cooked meals is a choice, Bill. An evil one.
-
Did he ask Susan Collins for help writing it?
-
What is the point of electing a physician to the US Senate who so willingly betrays his professional oath to "do not harm?" RFK Jr's appointment will cause lasting harm to the entire nation. Cassidy bears as much responsibility for this as anyone. Spare us the crocodile tears, Senator.
-
…. Fuck off Cassidy, this is on you .
-
Bill Cassidy can fuck off into the sun forever
-
Donnie doesn't actually give a damn.
-
The biggest loss here is not that China will get an advantage.
-
The millions of deaths will be on him too.
-
Who could have guessed that the guy who has spent his life railing against vaccines would pursue policies exactly aligned with that...
-
Had the not so good doctor preserved a shred of integrity he could have blocked confirmation and prevented this disaster. On the other hand, he could be Roger Marshall.
-
He pops up with a 'Golleeee Sgt. Carter' every time Sen. Susan Collins is 'concerned.'
-
-
That’s conservatives, Republicans for you. Always talking out of both sides of their mouths, always playing both sides of the fence, always flip flopping, always joking, always lying. They’re incorrigible.
-
So pathetic.
-
he's STILL claiming that trump wants to make America great and healthy?
this is a farce.
-
"Unfortunate" is your shoelace coming untied on a rainy day, asshole.
-
F him
-
and lying about Trump's goals
-
I call it devastating.
-
Weak sauce.
-
I want to throttle than man. He’s a disgrace as a Senator and responsible for violating his sacred oath to do no harm. That is unforgivable.
-
Millions will die. Psychos call that unfortunate
-
How unfortunate he confirmed him 🤬🤬🤬
-
That's one word to describe Kennedy lying to Dr Cassidy's face.
-
Nothing weaker on earth than a Republican senator It’s a scientific fact 🧪
-
A weak-noodle response to the destruction of the United States of America by a coward.
-
Rfkjr could be fired. It would be a service to the country.
-
Cassidy’s pulling a Murkowski…
-
Infuriating
-
Such wet toast. Get upset. Start impeachment. Do your freaking job Cassidy!
-
Cassidy should lose his medical license. Wheree is the AMA?
-
Bill Cassidy is purely a COWARD & he'll forever be responsible for the deaths resulting from RFK Jr's insane destruction of our U.S. #BiomedicalResearch enterprise & our federal #PublicHealth agencies. Cassidy willingly/knowingly put a dangerous kook at the helm of #HHS when he didn't have to do it!
-
Before the orange demagogue's 1st term, lesser developed countries had a choice who to trust to support their development; the stability of American democracy or the stability of Chinese communism. For those countries spurning dictatorships, the choice was obvious. Now they have one choice, China!
-
It’s unfortunate SenatorCassidy voted to confirm RFK.
-
How "unfortunately" cowardly of him!!!
-
And he decries it only because some money was already spent so it’s wasteful….not because of the wasted promise of what that research could have produced.
-
Unfortunate is when your toast burns
-
OK.. the GOP is the one that caused COVID 19 to spread because they defunded the pandemic response team... and now they did it again with this action.... what are the betting odds as to which disease people will all catch next? Measles? Bird flu? HPV ?
-
It's unfortunate but confirming him to ensure I did not get primaried was more important.🙄
-
As if trump or any of his rethuglican cabinet or Congress actually cared about the health of every day Americans. Ha! What a cluster fuck!
-
I can only hope him and his loved ones suffer as much as the rest of us will.
-
What’s unfortunate is that Bill Cassidy is a liar, and doesn’t honor the oath he took as a doctor to do no harm. It is not true that Trump cares about making America great again, or healthy again. Bill Cassidy and the Repub party have blood on their hands. May God forgive their black souls.
-
Will a "troubling" from Susan Collins be far behind?
-
"I didn't know for sure whether to trust RFK Jr. when voting on his confirmation, but Susan Collins said not to be concerned."
- Sen. Bill Cassidy
-
Would I confirm him again, if need be? Absolutely.
-
Such a shame. If only this fellow had some authority to do something about it. And the courage.
-
A weak response from another cowardly Republican Senator responsible for putting this psychopath in charge of public health.
-
PATHETIC.
You're supposed to be a FUCKING DOCTOR Cassidy.
GROW A FUCKING SPINE.
-
Will Bill and his family seek standard of care best practice medicine outside of the US? Too bad a majority of his constituents are not wealthy enough to travel outside the U.S. for safe effective medical care that had been available here before Bill Cassidy voted for Trump's unqualified nominee.
-
My Senator momentarily based?
-
Surprised he noticed, TBH
-
Cucks suck
-
wow weird that Trump wholeheartedly supports it since it's against his goals
-
Placing M.D. in your title is disgraceful. As a physician you should lead our political leaders from harming the health of America. Screw you!
-
Chickens don't quack and quacks chicken out.
-
Fuck bill cassidy even after everyone has forgotten his sad role in this fascist play. Chicken shit.
-
He has sacrificed his soul, his integrity, and he has blood on his hands.
-
Way to go Senator - U am sure your tweet will change RFKs mind. Only chance you have is to convince Trump of the economic gain China will have by beating the US in health technology.
-
Hope he can get a referral for his compromised spine
-
Voters: decline is a choice.
-
Cassidy is a member of a cult.
-
“do a little bit of harm”
-
I have never felt the strong yearning to be able to time travel as much as I do in this exact moment, so that I could travel forward and piss on his grave.
-
Just a guess but "faint" and "unfortunate" and "destruction" are going to loom large pretty soon if the trajectory of the current policy plays out the way it seems to be going.
-
Almost sounds like senator Cassidy had no intention at all in stopping Kennedy. In fact one could probably argue the senator's actions shows he agrees with Kennedy completely and is trying to kill as many union citizens as his Confederate heart desires.
-
Another proud graduate of the Susan Collins School of Feigned Gullibility.
-
Shame on him!
-
Trump’s goal is to kill as many of us as he can. Cassidy is either delusional or lying to us.
-
You are a broken man, sir. A broken man. 🤬
-
Also, Trumpism's slogans aren't Trump's goals.
-
My grandmother would never say that someone wasn't pretty. She would say, "She has an unfortunate face". I'm not saying that Bill Cassidy is stupid but he does have an unfortunate intellect.
-
Susan “Unfortunate” Collins must’ve consulted on this statement.
-
I call sen Cassidy on a regular basis. He took an oath as a Dr to “ first do no harm” & he breaks that oath every day he’s in ofc. He gave RFK jr a pass bc he didn’t want to go against trump. His constituents & the people who will suffer or die be damn. That’s who he is, a power hungry Senator
-
"First, do no harm." - the Hippocratic oath
"Aye." – Sen. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (Meek and Docile), voting to put a brain-damaged heroin addict in charge of the nation's health infrastructure
-
"you're telling me this face-eating leopard suffers from cognitive dissonance?!"
-
But Cassidy's not bothered by RFK Jr lying to him to get his vote? How weak.
-
Weak and callow words from a weak and callow "man"
-
-
How did I know this is what Kennedy would do and Cassidy didn’t?
-
To late to say anything now, you voted to confirm him so stfu
-
Unfortunately, that's all he's got 😕
-
F both of them🖕
-
Poor shmoopie
-
If you’re not going to spend every waking hour shepherding a successful impeachment effort, then respectfully, shut up and sit down Senator.
-
"unfortunate"...
-
Pardon my French, but fuck this guy.
-
With so much being recorded for posterity, the shame that will be carried by so many family names is going to be incredibly broad and deep. So many people will know their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc was a coward through and through, and nothing else.
-
And oh Bill? We blame you for this. Yes, we do.
-
"unfortunate"
No. Totally predictable and 100% avoidable, but republicans are subservient to trump and confirmed his ridiculously unqualified picks.
-
The steam coming out of my ears could power a freight train.
-
Cassidy is a coward.
-
Another dumbass republican senator … go back to medicine Billy boy
-
It’s all his fault, he caved to the 🍊 💩gibbon
-
UNFORTUNATE!
-
Is he really surprised? I’m not
-
The Susan Collins School of Concern
-
-
Fuck Bill Cassidy
-
Yes. Unfortunate that the first vaccine for pancreatic cancer will come from China and not the US (where research at MSK was progressing well). That's a Chinese patent and Chinese jobs. The Senator is making it fairly clear that being economically competitive is not an American priority.
-
Hitler was a drug addict and a "health nut," too.
-
Trump and Kennedy are trying to cull the herd. If we aren't healthy, we are supposed to die. It's Hitler-style eugenics. If we "live a healthy life style" we aren't supposed to need the miracle of modern medicine. If we have medical issues, it's supposedly because we didn't live a healthy lifestyle.
-
The Hippocratic Oaf.
-
Sorry but you blew it. You knew intelligently what was right but you caved to trump. You can say whatever you want to rationalize your blunder but it’s too late. You blew it and you have to live with your misjudgment. You probably don’t even care.
-
I do hope Canada can attract these scientists, doctors and continue the vaccine development there.
-
Senator Bill Cassidy can be reached at (202) 224-5824.
-
Hindsight and talk. That is all Republicans do other than of course gifting the oligarchs.
-
"Unfortunate."
-
Susan Collins should sue him for trademark infringement
-
That’s a freckles pushback. Cassidy is a pussy.
-
You’d be hardpressed to find an actual doctor who has violated his oath like this guy. Did Stalin have a doctor helping him?
-
Cassidy is a coward and trump suckophant. Baaaaaaaaaaaa! 🐑
-
No reason to expect him to come out and say he made a mistake.
-
Louisiana is deeply sorry for the spineless Cassidy and our other Senator FogHorn Leghorn Phony.
-
Goddammit, Kennedy, can't you even muster a "SAD!"? What else are you spending your time doing, not curing cancer even harder?
-
It’s not unfortunate. It’s a tragedy.
-
Is "unfortunate" the new "concerned" ?
-
-
Is he also concerned or is that the sole domain of Susan Collins?
-
His “unfortunate” is equal to Susan Collins’ “concerned”.
-
The Hippocrates Oath is easier to follow if you are a D…switch parties,Cassidy. You know you want to….
-
Cassidy is pathetic.
-
Yes, unnecessary death of innocents is always such an unfortunate occurrence. That is in Chapter 1 , 1 st year medical school. Remember that old oath we all took at graduation, but Bill didn't take the Hypocratic Oath - he took the HYPOCRITE OATH.
-
Cassidy, a physician, pledged to work closely with Kennedy, presumably to stop him from doing stuff like this. In fact he had no power to do so and rarely speaks up about Kennedy at all. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Bill Cassidy’s Failure on Vaccines
America is facing the consequences of the senator’s readiness to give Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the benefit of the doubt.
-
He’s just plain wrong on all fronts. Trump is not making us great or healthy.
-
Potentially unfortunate for hundreds, thousands, or even more
-
c'mon, john bel edwards, get in the race!
louisiana magapubs are still mad at cassidy for voting to impeach trump & 3 are already primarying him.
bel edwards won a 2nd term as gov despite trump aggressively campaigning against him.
solid job dealing w/hurricanes, budget shortfall, covid.
-
Even that tepid criticism is going to have MAGA in a frothing rage
-
this is so limp
-
Actually this totally supports Donald Trump's plan for America and Bill Cassidy can go f*** himself
-
Boohoo that’s who he voted for. Moron
-
Cassidy shares some of the blame for RFK, Jr's terrible decisions. The doctor voted to confirm the vaccine denier. Way to go, Doc.
-
Feckless,cowardly twat he is.
-
Let’s all call him and demand he take concrete steps as HELP committee chairman to hold RFK jr accountable, and hold himself to the commitments he made the country when he gave his vote away to RFK jr
(202) 224-5824
-
He needs to take that MD off of his name. He has shamed it.
-
man they're going to think twice with that brutal take down.
