'This is the party of Donald Trump': Lindsey Graham says Bill Cassidy lost his primary because he 'tried to destroy' the

president

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that Sen. Bill Cassidy lost his Louisiana primary because the Republican senator "tried to destroy" President Trump and warned that any GOP lawmaker who crosses Trump can expect the same fate.

"Those who try to destroy Trump politically, stand in the way of his agenda, are gonna lose," Graham told NBC News. "Bill Cassidy lost because he tried to destroy Trump. This is the party of Donald Trump."




Cassidy, a two-term senator and physician, was knocked out of his own primary Saturday by Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming, both of whom advanced to a June 27 runoff. Letlow finished with about 45% of the vote, Fleming with 28% and Cassidy with roughly 25%, according to the Associated Press. He becomes the first sitting U.S. senator to lose a primary since 2017.

Trump, who endorsed Letlow in January and spent months publicly trashing Cassidy as "disloyal," celebrated the result on Truth Social Saturday night: "It's nice to see that his political career is OVER!"

Lindsey warned us about Trump but since then he developed a taste for Trump's dingleberries.
