"SNIP.....

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) writes in the Baton Rouge Advocate why he voted to convict former President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial.

“I voted to convict former President Trump because he is guilty. That’s what the facts demand.”

“I have no illusions that this is a popular decision. I made this decision because Americans should not be fed lies about ‘massive election fraud.’ Police should not be left to the mercy of a mob. Mobs should not be inflamed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.”

1. I called the 7 GOP senators who voted against tRump to thank them

last night and Cassidy's mailbox was the only one that was full.

3. There are a few decent Repubs

like Cassidy who clearly seems to have a conscience. He's from a deep red state and Trump cultists don't forget any slight, and so the vote Cassidy took is not without risk despite it being 6 years before his next election.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

4. Decent people break ties with cults and terrorist organizations.
