Watching Bill Cassidy reveal the commitments that RFK Jr gave him — for instance, a pledge to provide Senate a 30-day heads-up on any planned changes to vaccine safety monitoring programs. Strikes me that these commitments wouldn’t be needed if the health secretary wasn’t RFK Jr
Cassidy is the same guy who dismissed the deaths of black some during childbirth. He’s no better than RFK.
He’s used to peering up people’s asses so probably just doesn’t know any better
Seriously? How does Cassidy sleep at night, having abandoned his oath to do no harm???
Doesn’t sound like he believes what he’s saying
Exactly. No other nominee would have been in need of such babysitting. Babysitting that won't work. And since Cassidy has been at least vaguely skeptical, he could lose his seat anyway.
Bobby Jr's wife doesn't trust him, why should Cassidy?
I truly am so sick of these rotten mother fuckers!
They were idiots to have ever believed any of this for a second.
I am not sure who is the stupid here: a drug addict who believes in conspiracies? Or a Senator who believes the addict?
Violating his Hippocratic oath in service to Trump
Welp buddy. Sounds like you believed an obvious liar. Find anyone that knew better and ask them to approved of your next important decisions
Big Susan Collins vibes.
Kennedy should be charged with manslaughter and all the Republican senators who confirmed him are complicit.
"I believe you'll also be a partner." Lol
Bill Cassidy is being willfully ignorant, and should be ashamed of himself.
Ridiculous that they even pretend u can trust these nominees...they will be talking heads with no authority...case in point...Bessent handing over keys to federal payment system.
Bill Cassidy is a coward - putting his political job above the safety of Americans. Republicans like Cassidy KNOW they're putting their own family members in peril. Are those family members all OK with knowing their lives would be in danger if RFK Jr. is confirmed as #HHS secretary?
Cassidy is a traitor and idiot. WTF game does he think he’s playing?! He took an oath to do no harm and his vote for and continued support of RFK Jr is a blatant violation of that oath.
He voted that way because he’s a coward. He also proves the old adage: what do you call the person who graduates last in his medical class? Doctor. What a disgusting twat but typical of what you get from Louisiana. The other Senator’s even worse (Foghorn Leghorn)
Seems like these "commitments" have already been violated.
No one's buying it. RFK will be confirmed
Two tongue moron. His vote for Kenedy was another cowardly decision to kiss King shits ass.
Too late, Bill. You voted to confirm, you (and the rest of us) will suffer the consequences.
And he’ll be easily re-elected 🤷♂️
Chickenshit. He’s a physician, which makes his betrayal us even more appalling.
Are Senators really THAT stupid? or just threatened??
This is the hypocritical bit of the Hippocratic oath.
Cassidy is a monster. He provided cover for RFK Jr. so that other GOP senators could vote with impunity. It was a sham and a show. When the death toll is tallied, he should shoulder the blame.
We don’t trust you to make decision that an HHS secretary should be able to make on their own but you can still sit in the office. So shameful!
And if he breaks his promise, then what? Then what?
Senators are so incredibly gullible.
JFK is a liar, and he knew it… The GOP Senators are scared of the King, and democracy is not important to them. Shame on all of them who continue to vote for corrupt and incompetent idiots!
Also he's asking this from the Always Lie Always administration? That just makes him a chump and someone who shouldn't have his job
When will we realize that these people have no integrity and will never keep their word? It’s laughable to me how stupid they look every time this happens.
Are they so insulated from reality that they’ve never been scammed before like the rest of us?
Apparently the Susan Collins Feigned Gullibility virus is spreading.
This man lives in Washington where the Project 2025 Gang, the X Gang, and the Thiel Gang, are all competing to destroy more of the normal functions of the government. And he says with a straight face that he expects 30-day written notification of changes to the vaccine programs?
Just like voter’s believed Trump would make life easier, RFK Jr conned Congress.
May the germs of a thousand diseases rain upon his family for generations.
This fool should have his medical license revoked. Same with anyone else that supported the con man rfk jr.
Dumb fu*k. It's a curious contradiction: Congressmen's intelligence seems to coexist with a surprising lack of wisdom. Congressmen consistently lie when talking down to us; it's obvious. We're not going to stand idly by and accept this, are we? Start Yelling, let them know we're on to them.
30-day heads up? Do these not have to go into the Federal Register for 60 & 30 day comment periods anyway?
Americans can simply rely on Canadian public medical sources for the duration of the diapered draft dodger's tenure as Putin Lite. Can't wait for MAGA's insulin to go back to $800/m though, that one's gonna be fabulous.
Also he's not going to keep any of them.
This aged well.
And of course 👆
And he has not.
Commitments without consequences for breaking them are meaningless. Ask any parent.
What a rube.

And why does he think RFK Jr. will keep these commitments?
From Europe: Here we have people uninformed or with not too much knowledge of how vaccines works, or who refuseswhat doctorssay. That is, more or less, understandable. But Gov., Health Minister and Congress? USA health would be in an historical free fall like never before. Pathetic.
We are in big trouble I fear.
Whata craven dooche
None of his offices are answering the phone today. He's ashamed. I'm ashamed that he's a doctor and represents my state. What a fucking coward. He should have his medical license revoked for doing this.
kakistocracy
He is protecting his Senate Seat - Covid 19 has changed my views of fellow MDs - not surprised. 99.8% do not know or do not care what will Long Covid do.
Having watched Severance, I'm wondering if all these Republicans have been severed from their minds and sanity.
They all knew what he would do and none of them GAF. Don’t let them pretend to now.
Watching democracy capitulate is not easy. But this is all just a TV show, and Dem’s are just paying lip service. Since Dem’s REFUSE to suggest anyone else they would support, forcing R’s to just vote for him, RFKJr. IS the candidate the Democrats want in there. No one is better.

He's gonna vote yes. There's no way around this. None of these ppl will wield the power they actually have.
It strikes me the assurances were useless lies. He & the others who voted for those jackasses wanted us to believe the nominees would change who they are because of “assurances” or public testimony under oath. They also want us to believe they didn’t vote for them to save their own political hides.
Cassidy feeling guilty for unleashing measles and other viruses upon the US. Thanks, Cassidy
Shameful for a Doctor. Shame , shame, shame . Sham, Sham, Sham.
Cassidy was just looking for an excuse to vote for RFK. He's not concerned about the consequences, he's just trying to make it look like he cares. Dr or not, he's a republican.
Cassidy, as a real actual medical doctor, should never have voted him in in the first place. Now he has to live with his decision and now we all have to suffer because of it. The fact that he voted for him and apparently doesn't know the history of this man, tells me Cassidy isn't very smart.
