Outgoing U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy takes shots at President Trump in concession speech

[Uncle Joe]

Bill Cassidy was defeated in his bid for re-election. He was opposed by President Trump and he took some shots at him (without naming him) in his concession speech.

"When you participate in a democracy, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you want it to, but, you don't pout, you don't whine, you don't claim an election was stolen."

"Our country is not about one individual. It is about the welfare of all Americans and it is about our Constitution... And if someone doesn't understand that and attempts to control others through using the levers of power. They're about serving themselves and not about serving us, and that person is not qualified to serve as a leader."

"Leadership should be steady not erratic, thoughtful, not impulsive, and leaders should think of the consequences of their actions before embarking on something and then seeing the American people suffering the consequences later... I'm also asked if I'm bothered by being attacked on the internet. Insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity."

one vote to impeach an apparent lame duck and returning to reality on election night does not excuse his behavior.

trump pays him back for subservience by supporting his opponent.

2. Pathetic wretch finds a voice only when he has no power to put behind it.

His legacy will be cynically and meekly confirming Bobby Brainworm thereby destroying the NIH, CDC, and FDA.

Fuck you, Bill.
