Cassidy Shrugs Off Censure By State GOP: It Was Clear Trump “Wished Lawmakers To Be Intimidated” [VIDEO]

“It was clear that he wished lawmakers be intimidated. And even after he knew there was violence taking place, he continued to basically sanction the mob being there. And not until later did he ask them to leave. All of that points to a motive and a method, and that is wrong. He should be held accountable.”

“That’s the trust that I have from the people who elected me, and I’m very confident that as time passes people will move to that position.

“I was elected to uphold an oath to support and defend the Constitution. The majority of the people in Louisiana want that to be the case. And I have respected that trust. I have voted to support and defend the Constitution.” – Sen. Bill Cassidy, on ABC This Week.
