Cassidy, the Republican Senator who made Blanche’s confirmation possible by agreeing to vote the party line, made this stunning admission on “Face the Nation” Sunday morning when asked point blank if he trusted Blanche. <\/p>\n

“There’s always an existential anxiety, but I am as confident you can be,” said Cassidy. “I can’t predict the future.”<\/p>\n

Cassidy also admitted he was close to tears when he announced he would support President Donald Trump’s nominee, despite mounting concerns that Blanche had already managed to make the Justice department a “shambles.”<\/p>\n

Cassidy said he choked up because it was such an honor to vote. <\/p>\n

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) refused to vote for Blanche because of his handling of the Epstein files, immunity protections granted to the Trump family and repeated attacks on the president’s political rivals, she said Friday.<\/p>\n

Conservative former judge J. Michael Luttig said of Cassidy and Republicans who did not follow in Murkowski’s footsteps, “They will bear this badge of shame the rest of their lives.”<\/p>\n

But Cassidy, despite stated misgivings about Blanche’s willingness to uphold the Constitution, said on Sunday he stood by his decision \u2014 even though he almost voted no.<\/p>\n

“If you’re looking for a black or white decision here,” said Cassidy, “you’re not going to find it.”<\/p>\n
