Louisiana’s Republican Party expressed profound disappointment with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) after he and five other Republicans sided with Democrats in an early impeachment trial vote.
“The Republican Party of Louisiana is profoundly disappointed by Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote on the constitutionality of the impeachment trial now underway against former president, now private citizen, Donald J. Trump. We feel that an impeachment trial of a private citizen is not only an unconstitutional act, but also an attack on the very foundation of American democracy, which will have far reaching and unforeseen consequences for our republic,” the Louisiana GOP said in a statement.
