(CNN) On Sunday morning, Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana told CNN's Dana Bash something very important about the future of his party. The 6-foot-tall golden statue of former President Donald Trump that was unveiled at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, would undoubtedly disagree -- if it could talk. The statue, made by Trump-supporting artist Tommy Zegan, was, as CNN's Michael Warren put it, the "indisputable star" of the annual gathering. The massive statue features the 45th President with a business up top, party down below outfit: He's wearing a jacket and tie but also surfing shorts and thong sandals. "The fact that he's wearing thongs and shorts is that he's at the age where he should be retired," explained Zegan.
