Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy clash during closed-door GOP meeting
President Trump and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) erupted into a heated shouting match at a closed-door Senate GOP lunch in the Capitol over Iran and a pending war-powers resolution. At one point Trump told Cassidy to sit down while Cassidy demanded answers, saying, "You have not told the American people what's going on; it's lasted four months." The confrontation underscores sharp Republican divisions over U.S. policy toward Iran and could complicate party unity ahead of the Senate war-powers vote.
NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS
Good, these people who lost and are leaving in January need to at the very least find their balls before they go, attach them, and go after that fucking guy.
Until the GOP files articles of impeachment, holds hearings, convicts and removes him, it's just criminals in his gang aiding and abetting Trump, regardless of their words.
Finally Cassidy found a spine. Still waiting for spurned John Cornyn to do the same but he never will.
There is no “deal.” Trump’s personal lawyer does not get to give him (and his “extended family” AND every tangentially-related business) a blanket pardon for every federal crime they’ve committed. Impeach Roberts, btw.
Trump corrupt deal is an attempt to steal $ billions from our treasury to pay pardoned criminals & other cronies.
Legislating immunity for tax crimes is exactly what a person who is extremely guilty of tax crimes would do.
Is his base really this dumb? Cuz the rest is us are not!!
Republicans need to stand up to Trump and get rid of him. They'll be better off in the long run. Shame they gave up their spines for a pedo. The truth will set you free!
That 'deal' is crooked and just a "get out of jail free' card for the Trumps. We already know they're committing crimes--an agreement like this is against public policy of letting crooks get away with crimes. When we have a true DOJ again, the amount of crimes to be charged will be breathtaking.
Did the clear signs on dementia in the Orange Clown finally reach a number adequate enough to tip a scale? 🙄
#DumpTrump Plus, still a pedophile!
Good, now vote with D's for remainder of term and go out with some dignity!
The only reason this isn't completely laughable is this administration is already so corrupt. No credible legislative body would pass this, no judicial branch would uphold it, no future executive branch under Dems would obey it. It is only remotely possible at this moment because of Mike Johnson.
How can an acting AG make such a decision as if it becomes law? The potus sued his own government for 10 billion then dropped the case himself. The whole thing is a sham.
such weak shit. “oh we sent a sternly worded memo asking politely for answers on the massive corruption deal going on” spineless, toothless bullshit
Fascinating to read the exchanges here. Trump endorses Rep Senator's OPPONENT in primary, and TFFG can't figure out why he no longer has his vote! Also Senators talking about Trump as if this is all business as usual, not a rolling coup while Trump loots the Treasury.
Though no one should ever think kind thoughts about Bill Cassidy as he's done terrible terrible things, I do have to say I'm here for his DGAF burn-it-all-down finale.
Another crack in the wall...
This deal will be void the second the senile trouser-soiling former game show host is removed from office. Blanche should go to prison for authorizing it.
I voted for Bill Cassidy in 2020 when I lived in Louisiana. I regretted that vote when he allowed RFK Jr to move forward to confirmation. Hopefully, he goes out with a bang.
I won’t believe, forget or support any of the spineless, classless & useless Republicans who stood by w/o resistance to this vile piece of dung Trump. They’re as responsible as he is for what has happened. It is good to see a D & an R work together, but I won’t forget what the GOP have supported.
🤭 I’m loving the bipartisan attempt to intervene; that’s an excellent start! I expect that, if there is any response at all, it will be based on deflection, indirect answers, and blame-passing. But the glimmer of hope rests in the unity of the request: United we stand, divided we fall. #NeverGiveUp
It's interesting how courageous they become when they are on the way out.
The pedophile finally annoyed them. The'll be back kissing his ass tomorrow.
Good on them. But strongly worded letters or memos don't seem to work, do they. Being disbarred and losing his law license would be a whole lot more effective. Blanche has no business being confirmed as AG. I hope he's soundly rejected.
If nothing else, maybe the Republicans are fucking petty and vengeful enough to decide it’s payback time.
Who are these people and what have they done with the republicans 🤣
So after a heated exchange, they… wrote a memo? Like a strongly worded letter? I mean, is this what we’re supposed to be hopeful about? I think either we’ve lost the plot, or the bar for pushback is on the ground.
NOTHING will happen. Stop falling for it over and over.
Good. Some gumption! Or maybe just deciding to do his job I’m not enabled criminals in sex offenders!
The fact that any govt agency, let alone the IRS, would give shitler & Co. this deal perfectly illustrates how utterly corruptible our government institutions are.
Cassidy has zero fucks to give.
Pardoning yourself for future crimes is not constitutional. This isn’t complicated.
CNN reports that Bill Cassidy lost his temper with Trump and "berated the president for what has transpired in Iran, for not being clear with Congress about his actions in the region"
Waaaay Too little and about a decade late, Bill.
So, this is what happens when you’re free from having to run again for office? Kinda makes the push for term limits.
Too little, too late, Bill Cassidy. 🤷♂️
We’ll know whether this is true when we see Trumps posts at 3am
If they had done that ten years ago they might still have their balls. Those that had balls back then.
Another republican that suddenly found his spine after getting primaried. Tells you everything about these fascists.
Of all the many horrible things Trump did to us and still will do to us, destroying our medical and health agencies and easing the return of terrible diseases is among the worst. Cassidy had unique combo of political power and medical background to stop RFK and his shit in its tracks. He failed us
Sorry Bill. Too little and too late.
Trump is calling the doj tomorrow to open an investigation into Cassidy...
He should try a strongly worded letter! 👍🏻
Too late to hop off, Hopalong.
It’s like handing the keys to a toddler then ripping the kid for being a sh$&ty driver….
Did this dude lose his primary or announce his retirement???
Bravo! I hope Bill Cassidy continues to hold Trump’s tiny feet to the fire. Make him explain why. He owes us all answers. And show those spineless ninnies in the GOP how it should have been done.
* fmr CIA Analyst Larry Johnson: Iran Deal, Trump's Making it Up As He Goes Along June 24, 2026 *
Bites his tongue through the child-rapist stuff but this Iran thing really got him up on his hind legs
If there was only something Congress could have done to prevent this from happening?
Sure. I bet he did.
Cassidy got angry because 'of the Irish in me'. Striking how tedious immigrant-hating GOP twats are always more than happy to bore us all about their own immigrant roots.
Let Bill go on Fox, CBS, & other right wing outlets & say that.
Lol, Cassidy lost his temper.
Back it up with legislation or stfu Bill.
It would been nice if Cassidy and Tillis grew a spine before they were ousted, but I’ll take the W, they are exposing the cracks.
Then join Democrats to impeach him. Otherwise, youre not a serious person.
GOP party of LOW T
Can't wait for the Trump issued fatwa against Cassidy. I'm sure it will be totally normal.
Amazing where these spines come from when Midterms are in the air....
Hahaha!!! I actually can't even imagine Dr. Cassidy losing his temper. Shit gets real when your own butt/job isn't on the line anymore. Fuck it I'll take it.
Regrowth of a spine only occurs after they’ve lost their power. It’s beyond pathetic! If he still had power he wouldn’t give a shit!!!
Cassidy fucking sucks, yet I’m glad this drama happen
Did and said nothing when it mattered. I hope they fight to the death and the winner spontaneously combusts
It has just dawned on Bill Cassidy - and Susan Collins, I’m sure - that Trump is a lying, narcissistic prick???🙄
ooooh BERATED. gettin' serious. 🙄
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Bill Cassidy knew exactly what was going on from day one in Iran. Bill Cassidy, you can't rid yourself of the stench from voting to support every inhuman policy this admin has put forward. You can't clean your reputation. Damage is done. People have died & are dying; all results of your cowardice
It’s so sad they have to lose their jobs first before growing a spine but hey I’ll take it.
everyone hates an incompetent mfer
To little to damn late. Everything is all jacked. After the kid played with matches burned the house down now you wanna get angry? You should have taken the matches..
How was he going to be clear when he had no understanding himself? Cassidy helped put this man in charge and has refused to hold him accountable. If it wasn't for people like Cassidy, trump would be in jail.
Cassidy’s frustration is understandable. Decisions involving war demand transparency, lawful congressional oversight, and a clearly defined strategy. When even members of the president’s own party feel misled, it signals a serious breakdown in accountability that should concern every American.
Amazing how they grow a brass pair AFTER they're no longer running for reelection.
It about freaking time that someone in the GOP told him off. I look forward to more,,,
Amazing how the GOP grow spines as they are leaving office.
MAGA, I can see the cracks...
As if Trump would even care in the slightest.
“Not being clear with Congress.” LOL.
Republicans find courage once they're lame ducks or out of office.
About time a Republican got a spine. The dam is breaking even if it is a guy that won't be elected in the Senate again.
Bill Cassidy selling out everything he believed and cared about to Trump for Trump to shit on it and him remains one of the funniest subplots of Late Trump
Cassidy is great because he's a doctor and knows better and understands what a terrible thing he did confirming RFK Jr. and how he's going to hell for it and you can see it on his face and its great, he sucks so hard and deserves this so bad
Bill Cassidy could have told RFK Jr and the pro-disease caucus to go fuck themselves and been a low-key bipartisan hero, but noooo, gotta knuckle under to Trump.
"the man who sells his soul and gains its worth" is legion in the Trump era
It's what will happen to every Republican, eventually.
NEW: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) called out Trump to his face today during a testy Capitol Hill meeting. “As I recall,” he said, “he did not particularly care for my comments." GOPer: Both "expressed their feelings & didn’t hold back.” www.huffpost.com/entry/bill-c... w/ @delaneyrules.bsky.social
At one point, Cassidy stopped referring to Trump as “Mr. President” and called him “brother,” Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) told reporters.
Woo hoo. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has finally, belatedly found his big boy pants.
poor little Pinocchio, he turned into a real boy too late.
Too little too late and not enough Republicans give a damn about anyone but themselves.
Imagine if everyone was honest with Trump. Imagine if every single person he encountered just told him the plain truth 100% of the time. He'd probably have a massive breakdown within a week.
Day late and dollar short but still worth 2 bits
Now we just need some of the others that aren’t up for election or been primaried to grow a pair and stand up to the 🍊💩
Bill Cassidy has lame-duck courage, which is slightly better than no courage at all.
I think that is called the bravery of being out of range.
Profile in courage would be doing that before you left the senate
Right, he's had a year to do this, I don't really care what he has to say now.
Now he can right the horrible wrong he inflicted on the American people and do everything in his power to crush RFK Jr and reverse everything he’s done and doing to USA and global world health
Cassidy came in guns blazing, at one point stopped calling Trump ‘Mr. President’ and referred to him as ‘brother.’ A source in the meeting told Semafor congressional bureau chief Everett "it is a total cluster f—,” Trump emerged from the closed-door lunch claiming that Republicans are united.
Oh NOW he found his balls.
Found his courage after he was double-crossed. Cassidy is a coward, and the reason why we have RFK Jr. ruining our country and its public health system.
Everything trump says is a lie Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
...they'd better start uniting AGAINST trump. The people - are uniting against the republican party.
“I matched his tone and his volume and it went back and forth.” Cassidy said Trump then got personal, insulting him over his primary election loss. “What does President Trump say? ‘Oh, you lost the election,’ that sort of thing, whatever comes to mind to demean another person,” Cassidy said.
Cassidy should've gone lower with... "I lost, but Joe Biden mopped the floor with your diapered ass in the 2020 election." The rage might've put that fire out in the place where a heart would normally be.
The perfect retort from Cassidy would have been “yes, and you know something about losing an election, don’t you?”
Growing tension between Trump & Louisiana Sen Bill Cassidy resulted in a verbal confrontation Wednesday. Reports say the spat reached a point where another senator had to “pull him (Cassidy) back down into his seat." The Irish in him? Where has it been the last 12 yrs? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Amazing how they change when their term is almost done
Now the GOP itself is going to try to launder their image because they know they have lost power. If Mamdani's influence as a Democratic Socialist is winning seats....Texas will follow the trend and turn Blue.
The “Irish” has been up tRump’s backside. Maybe someone will actually swing on him. Yeah, I doubt it.
I am not impressed even a little bit by Republicans who waited until Trump is a lame duck to speak up.
Where has that guy been?
sorry bill- too late trying to display your "courage".... that ship sailed when you decided to confirm kennedy.
