Fox News announced on air that Massie was giving his Vote away and Swamping!
.
Thomas Massie (Republican) could have voted down the Debt Limit deal all by his lonesome due to other Conservative Votes on the House Rules Committee, and the House Rules Committee Rules.
Massie stabbed Conservatives in the back and wants to give Biden this Victory!

Raise your hand if you did not totally expect this to happen. 🙄
That's two strikes against Massie in the past week.
Too many swampy spineless cowards in DC. Shut the damn city/government down.
Aren’t they all, though? Trump has exposed these frauds.
“ Election only have consequences… well they don’t. ”
Elections are just about the most irrelevant thing in America.
Elections don’t matter in fascist countries.
His check cleared the bank.
How about, and here's a WILD idea, Republicans win elections and THEN pass a budget they want!? How about we do that instead of whining like wimps.
Caving. If you’re a Republican, it’s what you do.
I am sure I read about this fictitious monster in Greek mythology in high school.
Mitch told him to.
Are you REALLY SURPRISED?? This has been DECADES of being given the middle finger YET we still vote!! GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!
Anthony, I found a link for your story.
Debt ceiling: Massie files payment prioritization amendment ahead of rules vote
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/debt-ceiling-massie-payment-prioritization-amendment
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed an amendment Tuesday that would require the Treasury to prioritize payments using a five-tiered structure and indicated he would vote in favor of the debt deal negotiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden.
Massie announced during a House Rules Committee hearing that he would vote in favor of the debt limit bill. He was considered the swing vote and didn’t disclose how he would vote until the Tuesday hearing.
“I anticipate voting for this rule,” Massie said. “When people want to express their ideology, the floor of the House on the actual final passage of the bill is the place to do that. [We] owe them an honest shake and a playing field that doesn’t change.”
The tiered payment structure he introduced would prioritize different payments. Tier 1 would include public debt, Social Security, and Medicare payments. Tier 2 would include payments for the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Tier 3 would include payments for programs not designated in a tier. Tier 4 would include compensation for the executive branch and some other government activities. Tier 5 would include compensation for members of Congress.
Massie is considered the GOP swing vote in the Rules hearing on the debt limit bill. When going in, he says he’s made a decision but wouldn’t announce how he’ll vote.
Meanwhile, he has filed an amendment that would require Treasury to prioritize payments using tiered structure

Dump Caves.
Massie has been on the wrong side of a lot of issues lately. He’s a putz.
I’ve no question but that they’ve got Massie by the short hairies, just as they have the rest of Congress.
Release the Kraken!
Literally hours ago Trump supporters on Twitter were all pumped about Massie being Trump’s running mate.
Now he’s the devil’s spawn in Warp Speed.
