Former President Donald Trump is now lashing out at Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) for saying that he would not support Trump if he ran in 2024.
Cassidy over the weekend trashed Trump for losing the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate in the span of just four years.
"Elections are about winning," he said in an interview with Axios's Mike Allen.
Trump wasted little time responding and released a statement on Monday calling Cassidy "wacky," while also attacking him for his vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial.
"Wacky Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana is a RINO Republican who begged for my endorsement in 2020 and used it all over the place to win re-election, much like Little Ben Sasse, and then voted to impeach your favorite President," Trump wrote.
The twice-impeached former president then claimed that Cassidy cannot even show himself in public in his home state anymore because people are so angry about his anti-Trump rhetoric.
"Wacky Bill Cassidy can't walk down the street in Louisiana, a State I won by almost 20 points," Trump wrote. "He could not even be elected dog catcher today, the great people curse him."
