Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) affirmed his decision to not support Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) in the Speaker’s race, even if his colleague Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) would land a top spot on the House Rules Committee.
Massie was asked by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a new host on One America News Network, if he would vote for Johnson if Roy would become the chair of the influential panel.
“Oh no. You can pull all my fingernails out, you can shove bamboo up in them, you can start cutting off my fingers,” Massie responded late Thursday.
“I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow, and you can take that to the bank,” he told his former colleague.

Massie is the ONLY damn person there with any balls!!!
When you are up to your eyeballs in a hole, stop digging.
The rule has to be that the caucus will unify by whomever wins a majority of the caucus vote. Otherwise, you can't elect anyone.
Massie is the ONLY damn person there with any balls!!!
The media just loves this situation.
Speaker Jeffries... courtesy of the stupid party.
But, protracted fight for speaker harms the incoming Trump administration's to get its agenda up and running.
Trump is the one that will set the agenda. He's the one with the mandate. And, Johnson will do what he says.
Too bad he doesn't have any brains to pair with them.
nitzy loves his antisemite friend Massie.
“He received his 30 pieces of silver, again, it appears.”
What’s your point? Johnson is just as much a sellout if not more.
“Oh no. You can pull all my fingernails out, you can shove bamboo up in them, you can start cutting off my fingers,” Massie responded late Thursday.

And that’s just to start. The molten lead in various orifices comes later.
I’ll donate the pliers.
Make HIM speaker if it is so easy.
Johnson is dreadful, but Jeffries is worse. We easily may end up with Jeffries and Pelosi.
Massie’s balls can kill MAGA
I don’t believe that God will judge him for that. Being forced to vote for a snake because a good sincere person can’t win is not such a great thing.
“‘You can pull all my fingernails out’”
Translation: “That’s going to cost you.”
What a baby.
No committee assignments at all, and we start running negative ads in his district tomorrow.
By the next election he’ll be hated more than Biden, Hillary and Hitler combined.
Bye bye.
Yep, today was not the day to hurt Trump and stick a fork in Trump supporters eyes.
“The rule has to be that the caucus will unify by whomever wins a majority of the caucus vote. Otherwise, you can’t elect anyone.”
Just an FYI... that (below in quotes)... was a comment Nitzy made that I was replying to. Not my comment, IOW. But yeah, you have a valid point there. The GOP needs to purge those “”moderates”” that always seem to vote with Democrats (when the vote actually matters) or when they help the Democrats defeat the GOP votes. Even one time of voting with the Democrats to defeat a major bill should equate to the “”moderate”” being pushed out of the GOP. Should, but never seems to.
“It’s always...”We can’t elect a conservative because there are too many moderates who won’t vote for him.”
Why don’t we start from the point of....”We can’t elect a moderate because there are too many conservatives who won’t vote for him.”?”
How do you figure that?
