I support Massie on principle, but it was not a good move politically. This bill was going to pass anyway, and by Thursday we were at a point where Nancy Pelosi was Public Enemy #1 in blocking it.

This bill passed in the Senate by a 96-0 margin. Did you really expect President Trump to VETO it?

Politically astute.

Nancy was Public Enemy #1.

In 1 minute Massie tookk Nancy’s position on himself.

Republicans should focus on the few Purple state Congress Critters who went for the most egregious examples of pork unrelated to the virus.

I agree. In principal he was right. It reminds me of the way Libertarians used to be. It is futile to fight an unwinnable war. So he should have made as much noise as he could and live to fight another day. Instead he manged to remove the nation’s contempt off of Pelosi and on to him. No small feat.
