Trump calls Sen. Bill Cassidy ‘very disloyal’ and urges Louisiana voters to replace him over nominee fight

Published

President Trump accused Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., on Thursday of being “very disloyal” and playing “political games” over his opposition to the confirmation of the commander-in-chief’s second Surgeon General nominee.

The President concluded his remarks by urging voters to replace the Louisiana Republican. In a Truth Social post, Trump assailed Cassidy over the failure to secure Casey Means’ confirmation.

“For months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose ‘TRUMP’ Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach ‘President Trump’ on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General,” Trump wrote.

He described Means as a “strong MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) Warrior” who “will continue to fight for MAHA on the many important health issues facing our Country.”

Means’ brother, Calley Means, who serves as a White House advisor, also blamed Cassidy for the failed nomination.

“Bill Cassidy is a mindless avatar for his donors and a blind defender of the status quo system that is profiting from American sickness,” he wrote on X. “At every turn during Casey’s confirmation, Bill Cassidy worked to delay her and smear her. For several months last year, Bill Cassidy knew Casey’s due date. He demanded to schedule her hearing on her due date, and at the last minute scheduled it two days later.”

“He could have scheduled it weeks before,” he added. “Casey ended up having her baby the hour her first hearing was scheduled.”

In a subsequent post, Trump announced the nomination of Nicole Saphier, a former Fox News Channel contributor. He called her “a STAR physician” who has spent her career guiding women through breast cancer diagnoses while “tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention for both men and women.”

Trump further urged voters to replace Cassidy, who faces primary challenges from Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming and Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La.

Means had previously appeared before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, which Cassidy chairs. During the proceeding, Cassidy raised concerns regarding her views on vaccinations.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Cassidy’s office for comment.

Joey Chestnut reveals foods he won’t eat in competition as he tours Minor League stadiums for local delicacies

Published

Joey Chestnut will eat almost anything.

The 17-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion is the greatest competitive eater of all time, once even chowing down cow-brain tacos.

But there are two foods that are off-limits.

“The only things that would stop me is if I’m, like, really worried about getting sick,” Chestnut said (apparently, no concerns about cow brain). “Like raw oysters. I’d have to be really confident that these oysters are coming from somewhere where I’m not going to get sick.”

There are some foods that seem tasty at first, but they do provide difficulties for Chestnut. Popcorn causes chapped lips and bloating due to swallowing air, and Twinkies provide a “sugar headache.”

“But if I do my prep right going in, I feel pretty good,” he said confidently.

There is one more “oyster” though, made from an animal’s – let’s say – body part, that is not on Chestnut’s menu.

“There was a casino that wanted to do Rocky Mountain oysters. And their track record wasn’t good on preparing them,” Chestnut recalled.

“They’re bull testicles. I kind of rejected that one.”

This summer, though, tasty delights are on the table, as Chestnut is partnering with Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH) to visit Minor League ballparks nationwide this season to take on some of the signature dishes that define the club’s communities.

Chestnut traveled to Wichita last month to tackle chili buns, a Midwestern dish that is a combination of chili and cinnamon buns. In Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he’ll go with pierogis, and in upstate New York, he’ll try his hand at cider donuts. Cheeseburger dogs are also on deck in Reading, Pennsylvania.

“I’m super pumped. Minor League ballparks are always fun, just great atmospheres. I think Minor League ballparks are responsible for Major League ballparks stepping up their food game, so I’m going to be doing some good eating,” Chestnut said.

“There’s gonna be some good ones. I think it’s a huge burger they’re building in Birmingham that will be the biggest burger in Minor League baseball. Tacos next week.”

Chestnut will go for 18 Nathan’s titles on July 4.
