Massie deserved the public spanking. McConnell is the leader of Kentucky in Congress, regardless of which level and this KID publicly humiliated his efforts.
How many of you calling him a hero would have said the same thing if his ‘deficit hawk’ approach had been during WWII or WWI? Or against Reagan’s deficit spending to destroy the Soviet Union? Reagan would have given him the Stockman treatment and all of you apologists for him KNOW IT.
On top of that, he completely gave the LAME MEDIA the ability to bury the AOC stupidity of paying illegal immigrants! F**k Massie. Primary the bastard if it isn’t too late and make sure this PUNK never gets a good committee assignment if it’s too late. And definitely primary his a** in 2022 if necessary.
There are times for principle, this is one of those rare times you worry about it later.
He tried to stop them from ignoring the Constitution (again)

Very dismayed at The Presidents comments to Rep Massie. The Rep from Kentucky is a true patriot. This sham bill that passed is going to paid for by our great grandchildren ( that is if our nation survives that long) This Wuhan Virus is a a sham. in 3 weeks the drive by media will get bored and will want to move onto another fabricated scandal. It’s like watching a bad movie.
Although the coronavirus economic disruption was caused by government, not bad private-sector mortgage loans,
Ok, lets correct this right now. Freddy and Fanny went bankrupt first in 2008. They backed loans that were no good even as the crises was known to all. They were much larger than any bank. And they both had to go into receivership and receive bailouts larger than any private sector company. If it were not for Freddy and Fanny there would be no 2008 financial crises. They guaranteed loans that were bad. And they forced banks to make the loans. Barnie Frank and Maxine Waters stopped repeated attempts by the treasury department to rein in the two GSEs. And they forced them to increase their minority loans even while the housing bubble became obvious. The banks merely bought the loans packaged them and sold them to government pension plans that bought them as fast as they could because of the high interest payouts. Government guaranteed loans were sold to government pension plans all over the world. The private sector did not cause 2008. The finance committees in congress did.
He did the right thing. I usually support Trump but for him to make Massie a target of his contempt was wrong. The bill though well intended will be proven to be a major mistake because of how many pigs got to ride on its back.
Problem is misidentified. Fault lies with Pelosi adjourning the .house and sending reps home with work undone at the same time she was delaying the bill past her adjournment time.
I’m glad Massie tried to get these Congress gangsters to go on the record with their vote. Those who didn’t want the people to know the publicly recorded vote are the same ones who don’t have a problem with dropping a 2,000 page bill and giving the members a few hours to read through it. This is the kind of monkey business that has gotten us into the sorry state we are in.
