U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., used his social media account over the weekend to share messages addressing both sports and recent public reactions to a high-profile incident.
On September 13, 2025, Cassidy posted in support of Louisiana State University’s football team ahead of their game against Florida: “Geaux Tigers. Beat Florida. “
The following day, on September 14, he shared a link without additional commentary: “https://t.co/NKKPAceRnk”
Later that morning, Cassidy commented on the response to the reported death of Charlie Kirk, stating: “There’s a clear lesson from the people losing jobs over vile comments on Charlie Kirk’s death: if your first reaction to a hate-fueled assassination is more hatred, ask yourself if you should put your phone down. Cruelty in response to tragedy only serves to divide us further.” The post refers to public discourse and employment consequences for individuals who made inflammatory statements online after Kirk’s reported assassination.
Senator Bill Cassidy represents Louisiana in the U.S. Senate and is known for engaging with both state issues—such as supporting LSU athletics—and national conversations regarding civility and public conduct.
