"It's absolutely inflationary. If Joe Biden had proposed that, conservatives would've been all against it" -- GOP Sen. Cassidy on Trump's $5k checks

Yes, but it’s generally treated as a federal crime. Seeing as the AG was an opening act prior to TACO announcing this bribe, I don’t have much faith that the DOJ is opening an investigation, let alone seeking indictments.

Logic and reason The party of the great depression, Black Monday, S&L crises, great recession, Covid crash Is the party of fiscal responsibility The party of 3 Presidents suspected of conspiring with a foreign actor/adversary to win an election Is the party of National security Is lacking.

"Quick follow up. Why are you on this show? To bitch about the policy proposals of your own party leaders? To bitch about the policies of the HHS officials you disagree with but refuse to take responsibility for? To make it seem like you are taking responsibility even though you clearly aren't?"

Paying people to vote for a specific party is so illegal. He should have been arrested for just suggesting it. Why do people say anything else about it? "He's trying to pay people to vote for his party. That's illegal." No other words need to be said.

 I’m so tired of people like Senator Cassidy being on Sunday morning shows. The lack of imagination and insularity of the people who book for these shows is laughable.

STFU Cassidy! You have given the country RFK and Todd Blanche. With one foot out the door, no one cares that after 68 years, your balls have finally dropped. Go tf home or wherever you're headed.

Why are you still talking about this? Every podcast, cable news segments, or column devoted to WH press ban or $5k joke is one NOT focused on Iran war, gas/food prices, healthcare costs, corruption, ICE and Epstein. Trump knows the media can’t resist certain stories. He’s playing them like a harp.

If Trump proposed murdering every American that has less than a million dollars in the bank, Republicans would climb over each other trying to be the first to tell the media it was a great idea and it needed to be done. That’s who we are dealing with.

Handing out gov checks, constantly bailing out farmers, exerting control over private businesses, promising price controls, putting up monuments in your name and image, stating you want to be like Kim, Xi and Putin. When is MAGA going to realize that they’re the communists?

Come on people get real, it’s all bullshit. $5k DOGE check. $2k tariffs check. $5k check knowing they’re going to lose. It’s all fiction. God I miss real journalism. 🙄

I guess Senator Cassidy is on his redemption tour. You’re voting for RFK really screwed this country. I have absolutely no sympathy for you. You had your chance to be courageous and do something good for this country and you blew it.

There will never be a check, we are what 600+ days into this national disaster and he has promised 2 other checks that never came and everyone with common sense knew they were never coming, he..is..a..con artist, grifter and lier

He's a con man. Trump already knows Dems are going to win the house hands down so he knows he will never have to go through with the promise because they can't win both houses. He just wants the senate. If he gets it he will not have to honor his bullshit promise. Once again he conned his voters.

If Biden gave people cash, unconditionally and universally, voters probably wouldn’t have desperately voted in a change candidate 🤷

A $5,000 check and an affordable $5,000 check are different questions. Cassidy is raising the cost of financing a program estimated at $1.2 trillion. We're tracking the promise, but the funding mechanism matters just as much as the amount on the check.

Oh, NOW the gop is worried about inflation. it is such a relief they're TALKING about it before there's any real damage to anyone's budget. Must have gotten a bad poll. Otherwise, who could have ever guessed huge price increases in everything are unpopular?

Disagree, we need to reach as many voters as we can who still believe the 🤡‼️ This 5k ruse isn’t what you think it is! We need that message coming from Republicans more than ever! Don’t think about a check that’s never coming, think about the demise of our country!

The problem is the GOP voter believes and trusts trump, you cannot convince them otherwise Better target for centrist media is the incompetent execution of this war that has gotten us into the mess and the looting of the department of defense Focus on the swing voters

I’m sorry but again I disagree. The voters that once believed in the 🤡 is fracturing. For those on the fence, this exactly the message from a Republican that will hit home. There’s too many out here asking questions, for that not to be true! 💯

This is all crazy.. Trump said "If" he wins house AND senate you get $5000 he knows and he has been saying it for months that he expects to lose the midterms This is just a another flood the zone bullshit promise from Trump. HE KNOWS HES LOSING.

FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF BILL CASSIDY!!!! You voted for Trump, you voted for his cabinet, you voted for his big ugly bill. You only care about the national debt because you’re retiring and can read the room! 🖕🏼🖕🏼

Fk u. You broke it, you bought it and you fkng own it. That is your legacy, you pathetic pos. If you had won your primary, you'd be singing an entirely different song. It is utterly transparent and nihilistic of you to suddenly pretend you care.

What is bonkers, is the media is all over the 5k checks to ordinary Americans as inflationary; but unlimited money for military, police, ICE, Israel and billionaire tax cuts are just normal and necessary.

Of course they would! You ass clowns took Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan to the Supreme Court and then made them even more predatory. You don’t get to pretend you’re anti trump to get reelected when you’re responsible for the destruction. Gfy

Please don’t let these fools start on their “We have to tackle the government debt!!!” only now that Democrats will have some power back… They went along with Trump’s ICE/DHS funding, over spending on the military/Iran war, and the billionaire tax cuts. Their own policies did the debt part…

He is talking a good game now, but he still voted for Blanch knowing he was lying to Congress while under oath. Ignore what they say, what they do is all that matters.

It doesn't matter if it's inflationary, unlikely or impossible. Broad swaths of low-information, usually low-income people, believe in it. Voter fraud is almost entirely mythical because there's no financial gain. $5000 is a life-changing amount for poor non-voters. It may turn the election.
