Donald Trump Celebrates Sen. Bill Cassidy's Primary Defeat

And with the takedown of Cassidy complete, the president quickly turned to another political enemy, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who faces primary voters on Tuesday. Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary, Trump wrote in a subsequent Truth post.
