Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who is challenging Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in the 2014 Senate race, announced on Thursday that his 17-year-old daughter is pregnant and due later this summer.

“Earlier this year, Laura and I learned we will become grandparents this summer. Our children have been the greatest blessing of our lives and we welcome our grandchild as a joyous addition to our family,” Cassidy said in a statement to the Times-Picayune. “Our daughter now faces a more challenging future than her peers. She has our unconditional love and support.”

Cassidy’s daughter is a senior in high school in Baton Rouge, La. and is unmarried.

Cassidy has a 100 percent score from the Pro-Life Coalition.

  3. I love this story. Surely even the dim bulbs in LA will recognize Mr. Family Values as a pompous fraud. And you got to dig his jubilant language celebrating his grandfather future. He really knows how to sling it!

    In Louisiana?? Most of her peers will have the same future.

  5. What is it about these GOP frauds raising town sluts?
