Donald Trump has a massive Senate fight sitting on deck for the confirmation of his cabinet appointees.
His announced picks so far have shown that he expects nothing more than to completely drain the swamp.
But a Senate RINO just backstabbed Donald Trump with this one unexpected announcement.
RINO Senator Bill Cassidy stumbles over RFK, Jr. confirmation
With Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office growing nearer, the leftist-controlled media is working overtime to pressure RINO Senators to thwart Donald Trump’s cabinet nominations.
And Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s nomination to sit at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services is one nomination that they are hoping to successfully tank.
With the GOP holding an extremely slim majority in the Senate, Trump can only afford 3 defections from Senate Republicans during the confirmation process.
For RFK, Jr.’s nomination, all eyes are looking at Senator Bill Cassidy (RINO-LA) who boasts one of the most controversial records in the Senate GOP slate.
Cassidy famously broke rank with his fellow Republican colleagues when he decided to vote to convict Donald Trump during the January 6 impeachment hoax.
Leftists in the fake news media thought Cassidy would make a strong choice for a Republican defection by voting ‘no’ on Kennedy’s nomination.
Their strategy to organize this was rooted in their decision to endlessly lie about Kennedy, painting him off as an anti-vaxxer and a rampant conspiracy theorist.
Cassidy, who is set to take the chair position on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, will be overseeing Kennedy’s confirmation process.
During a recent interview with Jacqui Heinrich on Fox News Sunday, Cassidy was asked about how he sees this process playing out.
“Your committee is going to be overseeing RFK Jr’s hearing,” began Heinrich. “And there are some reports that Democratic Senators John Fetterman, and Bernie Sanders might be giving him a nod of support.”
“How is RFK Jr faring among Democrats on your committee?” asked Cassidy.
In his response, Cassidy refused to commit to voting for or against Kennedy.
“I haven’t spoken to him about it. I just don’t know,” responded Cassidy. “I will meet with him this coming week.”
“I look forward to the interview. I agree with him on some things and disagree on others,” he added.
Cassidy did highlight some areas where he agreed with Kennedy, such as food safety protocols and the value of removing certain food additives, but he also claimed that Kennedy was “wrong” when it came to vaccines.
“There’s food safety. I think the ultra-processed food is a problem,” continued Cassidy.
“Vaccinations, he’s wrong on,” Cassidy questionably stated. “And so and so I just look forward to having a good dialog with him on that. Okay.”
It is a flat-out lie to claim that Kennedy is some sort of “anti-vaxxer.”
During a post-election interview with NBC News, Kennedy clarified that he had no intention to take away vaccines from the public.
“We’re not going to take vaccines away from anybody,” Kennedy had emphasized.
He made it clear that his only goal, as far as vaccines go, was to increase the level of transparency around vaccine safety studies in order to allow parents the ability to make more informed and educated decisions about vaccinating their children.
“I’m going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficacy are out there, and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them,” Kennedy argued in a subsequent interview with MSNBC.
Kennedy further explained this during another interview, this time with NPR, where he expertly outlined the mandate forwarded by President-elect Trump, set by the voters.
“President Trump has given me three instructions: He wants the corruption and the conflicts out of the regulatory agencies; he wants to return the agencies to the gold standard, empirically-based, evidence-based agents in medicine that they were once famous for; and he wants to end the chronic disease epidemic with measurable impacts on a diminishment of chronic disease within two years,” Kennedy declared.
Senator Cassidy will be facing re-election in 2026.
Louisiana Treasurer and former member of the House Freedom Caucus, John Fleming, has already announced his intentions to primary Cassidy for the job.
Cassidy is already treading on thin ice due to his decision to vote in favor of a conviction against Trump during the January 6 impeachment hoax.
So if Cassidy casts a vote against Kennedy during his confirmation process, his time in the Senate could come to a swift end come election day.
