Conservatives are conveying anger with northern Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over his vote to oppose a resolution censuring California Rep. Adam Schiff, a favorite boogeyman of Republicans. Massie joined 19 other House Republicans in defecting from party leadership from condemning Schiff for championing the investigatory onslaught against former President Donald Trump. Combined with unanimous Democratic opposition, the measure failed, surprising even Schiff. The libertarian-leaning Massie claimed the resolution was unconstitutional for a clause that instructed Schiff should be fined $16 million if the House Ethics Committee found he “lied, made representations and abused sensitive information.” “Allowing a majority of Congress to take $16 million (92 years of pay) from any member of Congress is shortsighted,” Massie tweeted again of the Wednesday evening vote. “Can we not imagine a time when this precedent would be used against conservatives? Fortunately it failed.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida freshman, said Massie was “making misrepresentations about the bill” she authored. A band of pro-Trump political figures went even further, casting doubts about Massie’s reasoning and calling for his defeat. Massie has endorsed Trump rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “Not only is he being duplicitous, partisan and moronic about his choice – he’s straight up lying about the Constitution to achieve his political end goals. Sick,” wrote Raheem Kassam, a British political activist and editor in chief of The National Pulse.

Schiff and Stillwell need deep dives into their dirty deeds...and then arrested.
Oh, but he is a Maverick just like John McCain 🥹🤮.
In any case, I completely agree that Massie needs to be primaries and returned to private life.
Massie thinks. Morons ride with the tide.
Yeah, it feels good to stiff Schiff, until you’re stiffed in return.
What are these “misrepresentations” Massie is accused of, and are the accusations in accord with reality?
Two years ago but it shows how hard it will be to get rid of this jerk. Schiff is probably the most despised rat among the base yet Massie still won his seat despite this.
I got a better chance to win predidency than Massey and I am not even eligible LOL
Massie joins the list.
>> Wonder if Massie is planning on running for president in 2028
🤣😂🤣
... as a DemonRat?
Massie is TDS liberal
He’s SICK, needs to be sent packing, and likely will be, now that Trump has had it with him.

They obviously shared pizza together for an hour.
Read this mr. massie.
Schiff is such a dirty rotten liar.
I bet they all have skeletons in their closet… don’t want to set a precedent.
What is wrong with this POS? Everyone knows Shifty Shiff should be in prison and not making decisions for the people.
Massie is still my favorite Congressman. The Schiff censure smelled like a “bill of attainder”.
Part of the Republican wing of the Democrap party.
That is why is says FLASHBACK.
Kentucky Republican Party should throw Mr. Massie out.
