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.

Is he compromised ? What’s the story?????
bttt
Story from two years go?
Wonder if Massie is planning on running for president in 2028
That’s what it is in “chat” ... but I forgot to put “Flashback” in the title... Sorry about that.
Posting as Massie is in the news including the breaking news Trump has formed a campaign team specifically regarding Massie.
If it’s President of the Paducah, Kentucky Kiwanis Club, maybe. As a dark horse.
No offense to Paducah.
"Twenty Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the motion to table: Reps. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Tom Cole (Okla.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Kay Granger (Texas), Garret Graves (La.), Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.), Kevin Kiley (Calif.), Young Kim (Calif.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Mark Molinaro (N.Y.), Jay Obernolte (Calif.), Mike Simpson (Idaho), Mike Turner (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Steve Womack (Ark.)."
Some like Kelly Armstrong and Mark Molinaro are no longer in Congress.
.
He’s Lindsey Graham with Jheri Curls.
You could make a credible case that Massie opposed the BBB on principle, and I would not have disagreed. But refusing to censor Schiff is a disgrace. Massie is an idiot.
I think the fine is a bad idea. If they’ve got the goods, charge him, expel him, whatever. A fine like that is almost certainly unenforceable, and almost certain to be abused when Democrats get control.
The GOP needs to start digging on his background and find some real dirt on him and drum him out..
Schiffty got a pardon for his crimes. What crimes?
.
Massie never ever gets asked one hard question — because he’s helping Dems and blocking Conservative bills.
So, who’s going to ask him why he believed Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi (as he claims) after being in Congress for years!
I bet Massie has some sexual issues that need brought to light..maybe has a pension for kids like Plugs Biden did...
Story from two years go?
....
For fairness sake, let’s see what Trump was doing 2 years ago as the Swamp was discussing traitor Schiff..
https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-face-charges-florida-court-classified-documents-case-2023-06-13/
Trump pleads not guilty in federal documents case
Ah, and today Traitor Schiff is in the Swamp Senate..
And Trump is in the FAFO Oval Office..
Well Ron and Rand Paul are kooks as well that need looked at...
We should be looking at Schiff, if you want to go there.
Massive the big assie.
