Cassidy has totally ruined his reputation + it tarnishes everything he says. Even when he’s making sense, he has so far to go to repair the damage he’s done to himself, his words have no impact at all…it’s meaningless. He showed no moral strength or integrity when it counted so - who listens now?

Cassidy may have been weak in his comments casting shade on the Russia/corruption story. But at least he didn't trot out the common Republican go-to of "the American people don't care about [this issue]." Small favors.

Cassidy voted for Blanche even when Trump tanked his political career, I guess I’m more vindictive I would have gone scorched earth hopped over the isle and voted against every last thing he wanted

It’s basically guilt by association! Also most people in the US believe Trump idolizes Putin! Since his second term he is trying to overreach his powers whether it’s in the Courts,trying to fix elections, completely mismanaging his Iran War,restricting White House access to three major news outlets

The appearance of being at a 3 day event with the guy who is conducting fake diplomacy between Putin and Zelensky?!!!!!!!! He bought off the brother in law of the guy negotiating the Ukraine war and the son of the President who is holding back military support to Russia’s enemy. BAD APPEARANCES!

Remember way back when GOP expressed distress at "even the appearance of impropriety"? GOP hocked its moral compass in the '90s, allowing money to become the measure of all values Now, GOP goes hell for leather for every kind of abuse & corruption Double standards may apply, see terms & conditions

🇨🇦 The appearance of it makes it look bad? So if it didn’t get in the news, it would be hunky dory? They are blatant criminals. The entire family. Jr married daughter of an Epstein pal, wedding paid by Putin’s pal. 🖕

Given that it looks like bog-standard bribery for influence, yeah, the appearance is really bad. That's why that sort of thing is banned regardless of the "intentions" of the person paying the money. And the offspring of a President should be acutely aware of it. I suspect Don Jr. was anyway.

Don Jr should have kept the money. (1)He should not have accepted it and bragged about it.(2) The damage has been done and can not be repaired (3) What believable poof is there from a family of liars the money was returned? Let's move on,there are much bigger Trump fish to fry.

IT IS REALLY BAD……..BUT HE IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT……..THAT IS WHY HE IS OUT OF A JOB IN JAN……..NOW WE NEED TO VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS WHO ALSO WILL DO NOTHING FOR THIS “VERY BAD THING”

Another weekend of news driving my blood pressure up. The hold the entire GOP accountable, along with the *%#€¥%# who voted for, and continue to support him. Your vote for him in 2024 identifies you as a worthless human being. Go Directly to jail. Do not pass GO.

Repaying 'the gift' doesn't hide the FACT that the connections between Russian oligarchs and by proxy Putin to the Trump family are damning. Trump is the greatest national security threat the country has ever faced and should be viewed as such by Congressional republicans too.

No, dumbass, it's not the "appearance" that's bad. It's the entire damn thing. Again with the "look, we know how bad this all is, but we're not going all in with criticizing him or he might mean-tweet us out of our cushy no-show jobs."

Cassidy is a dumba** and complicit AF. Remember, he was the deciding vote for Robert 'Make Measles Happen Again' Kennedy Jr., AND for Whiskey Pete Kegsbreath. His opinions mean LESS than nothing.

She also leads with the claim that "Trump says Don Jr. paid it back," when there is no evidence that that is true, throwing the interviewee a lifeline off the bat.

Uh, the appearance? 😳 Just the appearance is bad in this case? 🤬 All these spineless, unprincipled congressmen & senators need to be voted out. All are unfit to serve. ALL. Need. To. Be. Voted. Out
