Massie says he was the ONLY person who objected to the CARES Act and it's the only time during his time in Congress that a recorded vote was DENIED!

@RepThomasMassie

For all the paid social media neenards who say I voted for the CARES Act, here’s the video showing I was the only person in Congress who rose to object to the CARES Act on March 27th, 2020. This is the only time during my time in Congress that a recorded vote has been denied.

FYI:

@RepThomasMassie

The CARES Act was the $2.2 trillion spending bill (many bragged $6 trillion with the lending authority) that funded the shutdowns and mail-in ballots and touched off the inflation that Biden and Congress later exacerbated.

He’s absolutely right. No other co gresscritter wanted to be on record for this, whether in their heart of hearts they supported Trump’s $2T boondoggle or not. This kicked off out current inflation. And for his absolute commitment to his constituents and the Constitution, Trump pilloried Massie for daring to slow the oh-so-important checks to all and the billions and billions to crony capitalists (not to mention mail-in voting subsidies.)

This guy officially became full of sh!t once he signed onto the GOP House debt ceiling deal in June.

His rant here is a perfect example of the stupid game he plays in Congress. He's one of 1-5 opposition votes on bills that pass by overwhelming margins in the House, but when the time came for him to take a consequential stand (he could have blocked the debt ceiling deal in his role as committee chair) he had all the strength and conviction of a cardboard box left out in the rain for a week.

I’m shocked they didn’t go on the record. Actually, not surprising but it’s rare as hell.

You learn something new every day!

Oh, you’re a Leftist I see. Using the forum to push Disinformation.

As for the Cares Act:

Introduced in the House as H.R. 748 (Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019) by Joe Courtney (D-CT) on January 24, 2019[a]

They all play games but I think Massie wants to keep that seat on the rules committee (he isn’t chairman).

He also voted for McCarthy, didn’t he? Probably same reasoning

On balance more conviction than most I think

Massie has saved Biden several times now. He joined Dems here (bottom row)

Massie also wouldn’t vote to Fine Schiff.

He made that resolution toothless, and I showed where Massie supported other Bills that fined members of the House. He was lying.

Remember when John McCain bragged about being part of the Reagan Revolution in 2008?

The Vote here was along party lines. Jan 3rd, 2017.

Massie voted for the debt ceiling deal, a vote worse than the CARES Act.

This is why Massie's grandstanding label sticks.
