Republican Senator Puts Trump On Blast With 1 Simple Piece Of Advice

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) is asking on Donald Trump to not be “ignorant” after the previous president ripped a bipartisan border safety invoice being negotiated within the Senate.

Trump, in a Nevada speech Saturday, mentioned there was “zero chance” he’d assist what he described as “this horrible open borders betrayal of America.”

“It’s not gonna happen. And I’ll fight it all the way. I noticed a lot of the senators are trying to say, respectfully, they’re blaming it on me. I say, that’s okay, please blame it on me. Please,” he mentioned of efforts to tank the invoice.

Cassidy, in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, questioned if Trump has entry to the invoice.

“Doesn’t seem that way,” Raju replied.

“It hasn’t been released, how does he know it’s a betrayal if he hasn’t read it?” Cassidy mentioned, then supplied the ex-president some free recommendation.

“I mean, don’t be ignorant,” he mentioned. “Read the bill.”

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), when requested about Trump’s characterization, mentioned it’s “certainly not a betrayal.”

“We’ve got to be able to deal with issues in law. That’s how we actually deal with things in America,” mentioned Lankford, the lead GOP negotiator.

The feedback from the 2 senators arrive sooner or later after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) advised Raju it was “absurd” when requested if he was making an attempt to kill a bipartisan border safety invoice to assist Trump on his presidential marketing campaign.
