If he even deigns to talk to you, he will tell what you want to hear and then go do whatever he wants later. That’s who you supported and voted for, Bill.


Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy voted Tuesday to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the nation's health agency despite the senator's reservations about Kennedy's past skepticism of vaccines.

Cassidy was considered the swing vote on the Finance Committee, which voted 14-13 Tuesday along party lines to advance RFK Jr.'s nomination to the full Senate.

Cassidy, a doctor, said during a committee hearing last week that he was struggling with President Donald Trump's nomination of Kennedy because of Kennedy's history of discrediting vaccines, though Cassidy has praised Kennedy's advocacy for promoting healthier diets.

He said Vice President JD Vance helped sway his vote in favor of Kennedy's nomination.
