Washington —GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana said on Sunday that his decision to support Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general wasn't "black or white," outlining what informed his thinking ahead of casting the decisive vote.
"If you're looking for a black or white decision here, you're not going to find it," Cassidy said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said they wouldn't support Blanche.
Asked about his concerns regarding the DOJ fund, Cassidy reiterated that the decision wasn't black or white, but a "gradation of gray."
The Louisiana Republican appeared emotional during his remarks on the Senate floor as he described the gravity of his decision to support Blanche.
