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.

That can be arranged...

[MNJohnnie]

Pure nonsensical posturing by the same guy who voted 15 times for McCarthy

This has nothing to do with principals it is petty infantile egotism.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Wish granted.

17 days. I hope 47 gets in the WH and locks the doors, puts extra snipers on the roof and doesn’t leave until the border is closed and the intelligence agencies are gutted.

[AAABEST]

I hate Johnson, but we can’t be stupid and this guy’s an attention whore... as usual.

[Red Badger]

Your terms are acceptable................

[Jane Long]

What an @$$.

He received his 30 pieces of silver, again, it appears.

[Jane Long]

Amen.

[DallasBiff]

Drama queen.

It wouldn’t matter if Chip Roy was on the House Rules Committee. Massie himself is on that committee, and he cast the deciding committee vote to approve the 2023 Biden-McCarthy deal to eliminate the debt ceiling through the end of 2023.

I wish the MSM would shut up in posting the cat fights between MAGA, Trump and RINO’s.

They’re really no big deal. This is politics as usual.

[sasquatch]

fifteen minutes of fame

[Alberta's Child]

Sorry — make that “through the end of 2024.”

[EnquiringMind]

Where would those Rats be without a handful of STOOOOPIT Republicans??????

[Jamestown1630]

What a stupid man.

““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.”

Ok, then. A little 24/hr water-boarding session, perhaps? Nah. Too late. Consider yourself primaried, Thomas.

[Hoboto]

So what is Massie’s plan? Other than whine, bitch and complain?

[bray]

We don’t have time for this fight now, Trump wants Johnson so let him have him.

[rktman]

Here we go. And we already know that the democommies ain’t voting for him.
