Margaret Brennan, the moderator of CBS News’s Face the Nation, sat down with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) this week following the Louisiana Republican yelling at President Donald Trump during Wednesday’s GOP luncheon.
Cassidy and Trump tussled over his vote in favor of a non-binding resolution directing the Trump administration to end the war in Iran, a vote Cassidy now says he’s changed his mind on. Trump endorsed Cassidy’s GOP primary opponent, effectively ensuring Cassidy would not be reelected this November.
“So Senator, as I understand it, the Vice President and Special Envoy Witkoff gave you a special briefing in the Situation Room late Wednesday on Iran. What you heard made you change your vote. And why are you no longer trying to stop the president from resuming strikes in Iran?” Brennan began.
